mario.t [del] naar Iedereen
Hi guys!I guess it's not a big surprise - I'm once again running for NT coach.I hope that by now most of the active forum members know me already.I'm pretty active and really motivated to run the USA NT and that's why I've been here for a while now :)

Last season wasn't pretty positive for the team and that's clearly visible by the team's current position in the ranking.I can promise you that I'll do my best to make a nice schedule so USA can go back in top 32 where the team belongs.Also that'll mean a far better draw for the next World cup.

I have to admit though that I can't promise I'll qualify the team for this WC because being in third pot is quite risky for the draw.In second pot there are something like 5-6 teams that have marks ~80 and it won't be easy to get past one of them.I can only promise that I'll do my best and hope it's enough to qualify.

So that's it from me guys.If you have any questions I'll be more than glad to answer them.

If i remember well, the first time you run, you did it for the U21. Now with Fla not running this season, why the NT instead of the U21?
2012-01-30 18:02:01
mario.t well said and good luck.
2012-01-30 19:11:28
Mario for President. Yes we can!

why the NT instead of the U21?

Well to be completely honest with you guys I thought that here I'll have a better chance as in fla's topic Uriah said he's going to run for the U21's.He seems like a pretty decent manager and I'm not quite sure what his reputation around here is so I can't judge whether I stand a chance against him.And don't get me wrong - Llama's got all my respect, he puts in a lot of effort and that's something very important for an NT coach.But I do think that a change in the NT manager's position will bring in some fresh blood.It also brings the bonus of surprising your opponents (as they haven't seen my tactics for NT teams) and when playing against similar teams (hopefully the team from second pot will be at least similar to USA NT) that can be a huge bonus.

Otherwise I have no problem running for the U21 NT.I have a couple of seasons of experience managing Bulgaria's U21 so it'll be easy for me to adapt to the team as quick as possible.

I know I'm not supposed to post in here but if you were to win I would gladly assist you and help you catch up quickly to see exactly where our team stands.
2012-01-30 19:37:51
There's no problem writing here mate.And I would gladly accept any help from you, I really appreciate it.
2012-01-30 20:47:46
What would you do if I did not win?
2012-01-30 22:18:38
If you manage to not win again I'll have to visit the USA so you can buy me a beer to celebrate you successful non-candidacy.
2012-01-30 22:29:55
That would be the most expensive beer in history. You have my vote (unless Llama makes a similarly ridiculous promise, and then I shall have to evaluate your respective qualifications more closely).
2012-01-31 00:56:18
I'll buy you 1 beer and you get a sticker of your choice from the doctor's office

The draw is ready, our group is:

1. France
2. England
3. USA
4. Azərbaycan
5. Guatemala
6. Ghana
7. U.A.E.

The draw isn't so bad - it could have been much worse.France is really tough to beat but you can't expect something else from first pot.From second pot we got England - a tough team but definitely beatable.They've got nice midfielders and one of the best goalkeepers in sokker but I still think that with a nice tactic and a bit of luck we can beat them or at least manage to draw both times and count on goal difference to qualify for the WC.
2012-02-04 14:39:01
That is definitely a favorable draw. I see no problem for us to qualify
