This is why I put the "international" SUO (what we see when looking at Athletics championships for example)

;)

(the same for Australia)

I see. Suo actually means swamp in Finnish, and occasionally, when it comes to team success, it does indeed describe it well - if feels like wandering on swamp.

I am keeping similar stats for my team. At some point I might convert it to BB's text editor and share with you.

Anyways, thanks demars for sharing the stats. I hope to put it to 1-4 in a couple of weeks :D

That would be a good idea!

Even if I don't post, I am lurking in the depths of this forum, slowly learning things... and seeing for example the salaries, I see it will take a few seasons to get to the HGL. But, perseverance is key!

Yes, perseverance is what it takes. But as long as you have that, along with patience and at least decent understanding of the BB functioning (about how training basically works, little knowledge about game engine of BB, etc.), you should be able to get better all the time for many seasons to come, when you're on such early development stage.

Well, I always thought that in finnish, the country was "Suomi Finland" (as we can see in many sports events).

BTW, Swanps and Frogs will long live together ;)

Suomi Finland indeed is familiar phrase to many (following sports)..

Maybe they do go well together, but now I feel stupid because I didn't quite get the idea/joke here... ;p Maybe you can elaborate on it a bit more?

Yes, they often do I guess, even though I'm no frog expert by any means.
I just asked because often you have some certain smart, funny, or witty connection/idea built in within your humor/comments (or that's how I've experienced it so far), and as your team nor mine I guess don't have any connection to frogs, that's why I mentioned it... The only connection between HGL and frogs, that I can come up with, is LGM (with their stylish frog-logo).

Ah, I understand, you're not a rosbeef !!

Let me explain an ol' story of ours !
Every french knows that british, especially English, people call us Frogs ("froggies") cos' we eat frogs (we used to, but it's hard to find french people nowadays eating frogs). It seems that is only for english or british people.

(BTW, we call english "rosbeef", cos' they're red as everybody * knows.

* everybody = every french people, especially playing rugby**
** rugby = a sort of sport that NO non-british people, excepted french froggies, knows

PS : english soldiers were (IRL !) called "lobsters" by american people when it was war time (Independance war) -> https://inf.news/en/history/eaa9189579dc0b72dd0960bc0452b1...

*** yes, it was humour :D

Lots of ***'s (stars) in your message, probably more than in my team roster ;P

I see now your point and joke, I was totally unaware of this froggies-nickname thing!

Scores have been updated to schedule, but league tables have not been updated on the part of today's and last Friday's games yet.
Sorry for delays. IRL there are multiple things that take lots of time, concentration and energy currently. It's very hard to concentrate on BB due to that right now. Hence the silence on HGL threads on my part.

And these 3 match weeks have never been my favorite anyway.

Anyway, I'll see if I'd be able to update league table after these 2 missing games, or if we need to wait after tomorrow's game (3rd game in 4 days!) have been played (so that I'd update 3 rounds at a one go).
