1) he technically did cheat the system but didn't break a rule that said "oh, you can't buy players from foreign u21 roster"

2) yes true, we did have multiple sales during the season and we did had multiple problems with GS during the season, minutes this week were good but GS weren't
What's your point? I'm not saying we lost because of this, first of all cause I don't think we have lost yet, and secondly if we were to lose, I don't think this is the reason for it, it surely didn't help and that's why I, personally think it was slightly pathetic, you might think it differently, you are the land of Freedom after all aren't you (the only one in the world :P)

3) look at the bright side, Chewy will finally feel happy

dude is this your answer?
I'm truly disappointed.... I'll pretend you came up with a better answer

So you believe that the player with the highest salary doesn't make a difference to a team?? Not even a little bit?? Yeah... I see your point now, yup

I know, don't worry I'll teach you,
Kind Regards

Im curious the range in which you guys over there consider "good" minutes?

I’ll pretend you guys know that you can’t win a U21 semi-final with no guards or forwards in 9 GS.

I eat Italian U21 teams for breakfast. Yummy yummy.

I lead the USA to wins over Italy in the season 27 semis and in the season 29 finals to get back-to-back-to-back-to-back gold medals. ❤️🙂

Love you,

RIP Chewy. RIP USA.

Good luck in the finals! Inside is definitely still king on BB. If you don’t play inside, you don’t win.

It was certainly a surprising win but big kudos! I’ve been planning on leaving BB after this season and wanted the USA to win on my way out but you guys pulled through. Hope you guys have a good finals match!

RIP Chewy
Love you mom,

I get where you're coming from Alonso, and honestly agree with some of that. We probably should have looked at past mistakes, maybe that would have helped us avoid doing the same thing here. We definitely should have guessed inside. However, I honestly don't have much problem with II as a tactic, and it's because of the same reason you put in your post. The Inside guess is obvious. We ran a lot of LI this season, it was our primary tactic in the road to semis. We anticipated an Inside guess coming from Italy and in that case, we felt comfortable with II as an option to switch up the tactics. Maybe we overvalue II as a community in USA, and it isn't as good as we think it is, but a lot of USA managers have had success at the club level with the tactic. In hindsight, LI is the obvious choice and we would have won easily if we had gone that route, but if Italy guessed Inside like we expected and we ran LI into it, I don't know that the result would be any different.

That being said, I'm disappointed more in the Game Engine than I am in our tactic selection. We know LI is king in BB but I expected II to work better against a missed guess. I also don't blame GForce for this decision. We gameplanned as a group on discord, we all bought in to this plan together, and if anyone didn't like it they should have spoken up, our community takes all ideas into account when it comes to big games. If any USA user is reading this and wants to put in their 2 cents, the link is in my signature, shoot me a bbmail and I'll verify you. I think as a community we all have G's back, things just didn't work out here. Respect to what Israel has been doing at the U21 level, but we don't need a savior.
