Hey everybody! The WC XXI qualify is starting today! I wish you all good luck!

Yup that'll hurt. To loose to a team that all others will beat twice is bad. But at least it is a five nation group, so plenty of games to catch up.

We'll see about that btw, are you guys sure, Phat Katt has even seen the qual has started. He has only 46 players, and it was the team from last season he tried to play - unfortunately including a player, that has been injured for more than a week.

Odd thing in that game...

LB Cleve Faulks for the Aussies is normally a 5 BPOS LB for his team *, but only rated 3½ BPOS in the game... could it be an effect of all the others on the defense being BOT? That somehow a combined figure is used to rate the BPOS of the player? Or is he just that bad?

* - He is on a BOT team and therefore rarely in his normal position, but he is a 5 star BPOS LB.

I don't think that activity plays a role when it comes to the Stadium for the NT. As long as the team with the biggest stadium is in the game, even as Bot, the games will be played there.

At least that's how I remember it. Without guarantee.

Re: the 5 BPOS LB: there's a Bot penalty. So even though he did play at "his position", because he was in a Bot Defense, he gets penalized. That's how I would explain this.

Ireland having a big 2nd half to beat Poland by 7 points. Two more hours for me to wait for the start of the UK campaign.
