Good evening my friends! How are you doing! The Earth keep spinning around it's axis in the astonishing speed of 1000 miles per hour, and we can't even notice it, as our attention is all focused in this Nations Cup Final! At least mine is! I'm Sir Hunchy, and I bring you my daily report!

Let's take a look on how my beloved Managers are performing:

Extreme Evolution

It will be awarded to the managers with more squad evolution in the leagues, with their teams!

@arteromero from Spain with 390M of squad evolution, is still on the lead, but with a fellow Lineup colleague just 3M behind! It looks like the "Spanish Armada" will take this Award without any chance for the opponent National Teams!

Goal Frenzy

It will be awarded to the managers with more scored goals in the leagues with their teams!

@hangaboy from Cameroon with 22 scored goals, is on the lead, but this round didn't score any goal! Is this a sign that the Goal Frenzy Bus is getting out of fuel for this Manager? Let's hope not!

The Wall

It will be awarded to the managers with less conceded goals in the leagues with their teams!

@zenudin_m from Bosnia and Herzegovina with 3 conceded goals, is on the lead, but with one more goal conceded since yesterday! Let's hope this isn't a crack in the wall!

Most Valuable Player

It will be awarded to the managers that score the most points for their National Teams!!

@Mickytuli from Spain with 145 points conquered for his National team, is back to the top! I'm delighted already with this Manager performance! I'll ask for his autograph when I meet him! Outstanding!

Nation of the Day

Today's analysed National Team is Morocco !

They've achieved 5th place in Group B, in the previous round, with a final score of 923 points! In this Final, they're in the top half of the Table, occupying the 6th position with 212 points scored so far. One Manager stands out in the Lineup: @mounirhomaroc , with 7 wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats, is the MVP of this National Team, scoring 82 points (39% of Team's total). The other 3 Managers are performing well, with positive scores, so anything can happen! Morocco is looking upwards, that's for sure!

Well, my beloved fans, i'm done for today! My head is already spinning as fast as Earth itself, with so many great performances in this Final! I need to rest a bit. Maybe I drank a little more Brady than i should, but.. what the hell! One needs to have his pleasures once in a while! Cheers!

Today, in Nations Diary, we have the pleasure to guest @KALKAN-HAMZA , from Azerbaijan , who has won the League 3A, in the Qualifying Round!

Q : Who is the person behind your nickname? Can you speak a little about yourself?
I am 24 years old. I have been played OSM since 2012 and in the future I wish to be a forum moderator and help people.

Q : You had a successful NC 2021 Round 1, finishing 1st. What are your thoughts on your performance?
Playing against strong managers always give extra motivation. And also playing for my national team at such high level also motivates me. I think building enough strong squad makes me leader.

Q : Who were your biggest rivals on your way to success in Round 1 and what were the most difficult games you had?
Generally there was no easy opponent at this tournament. But if I choose one it is King Gossy from Indonesia, against whom I lost both of matches.

Q : Let's speak about some aspects of the game itself when you're competing in such a high level like the NC. What is more important for you: the squad building or the tactical systems? Why?
I think building squad is more important. This way you can compete with strong managers and win their tactics.

Q : Concerning the NC 2021 and the individual awards (Goal Frenzy, Extreme Evolution, The Wall and MVP), do they motivate you to perform even better? If so, why?
Yes, these awards motivated me to build one of the best squads.

Q : The Final has already started and everyone is doing their best to take the gold medal home. Which National Team do you think will be the winner?
I think Serbia with MenagerBL has more chances to be champions of this tournament. Despite I'd like Turkey to be champions, but it will be hard for them to do this.

Thank you! Best of luck for your OSM career! And hope to see in again in next year's edition of Nations Cup!

Nation of the Day

Today I will highlight Hungary's excellent recovery

They are in 10th place, and climbed 4 places since yesterday, with 206 points, they had a bad start, but they are trying to make it right. One manager is specially responsible, for this result, it´s Hispan16, he has achieved 109 points to his National team, which represents 53% of the total points that Hungary conquered! Trying to keep this pace, is realgyula with 49 points, representing 24% of the total points, a little bellow is STAR WARS 67, with 42 points granted, 20% of the total poits of his National team. This result and classification are a little illusory, because this team has the potential to be better classified, i wonder where would they stand, if they manage to be more effective! Keep chasing your dreams!

SH : Well Ronaldo, thank you once again, for accepting my invitation, to be here in the Nations Diary. Best of luck for your career! And try not to break any more records!
CR7 : Hunchy it was a pleasure, to be present in this great National team competition!

I´m so excited, that probably, i wont sleep tonight! Me and CR7 together in Nations Cup, unbelievable! Hunchy...over...and...out!

When he won the League 3B, in the qualification phase, everyone understanded that he was a great manager. And tonight in Nations Diary, we have the pleasure, to receive him, coming from Turkey , please give a big applause to @muratpdr2805

Q : Who is the person behind your nickname? Can you speak a little about yourself?
A : My name is Murat and I am 27 years old. My profession is psychological counseling and guidance. I like football. I've been playing Osm for 3.5 years. I support the Galatasaray team.
Q : You had a successful NC 2021 Round 1, finishing 1st. What are your thoughts on your performance?
A : It was a very competitive league. I think I performed well in the first round.
Q : Who were your biggest rivals on your way to success in Round 1 and what were the most difficult games you had?
A : Hungary representative STAR WARS 67 was the manager who put me in the fight the most. The championship race between us continued until the last day. We congratulated each other at the end of the league. I reached the conclusion with the 451 tactic in important matches.
Q : Let's speak about some aspects of the game itself when you're competing in such a high level like the NC. What is more important for you: the squad building or the tactical systems? Why?
A : Both are important, but I think tactical skill is more important because everyone can form a good team, but not everyone can be a good tactician.
Q : Concerning the NC 2021 and the individual awards (Goal Frenzy, Extreme Evolution, The Wall and MVP), do they motivate you to perform even better? If so, why?
A : No, individual rewards are not important to me. The important result for me is the championship of the team.
Q : The Final has already started and everyone is doing their best to take the gold medal home. Which National Team do you think will be the winner?
A : t is really hard to guess, I think the struggle will continue until the last moment.

This is the Nations Cup, great coaches and powerful National teams! Thank you Murat for this interesting interview, and good luck Turkey!

Hey there my beloved fans! It's me, Sir Hunchy! I'm still shaking after yesterday's CR7 surprise visit to our humble offices! Wow! That's what I call "a LEGEND"!

Now, let's see who is already becoming legendary in this Nations Cup first edition! 64 Managers compete for the Individual Awards, and some of them are already being noticed by their impressive performances, halfway to the "big finale"!

Extreme Evolution

It will be awarded to the managers with more squad evolution in the leagues, with their teams!

@arteromero from Spain with 455M Squad Evolution, is back to the lead! This Award will be disputed until the very end, that's for sure! And I believe the Round 1 score will be beaten! A good squad is halfway to success, and this mate is proving it day after day!

Goal Frenzy

It will be awarded to the managers with more scored goals in the leagues with their teams!

@hangaboy from Cameroon with 26 Scored Goals, gets to this this checkpoint still in the lead! That's an average of 1,6 goals per match! At this level, thats quite impressive work! Keep it up "Goals Machine"!

The Wall

It will be awarded to the managers with less conceded goals in the leagues with their teams!

@davidaguila76 from Spain with still only 4 goals conceded, is proving to be the Master of the Wall! Maybe there's some magic powers involved, but, god damn, this is almost unbelievable! An average of 0,25 conceded goals per match, that means this Manager only sees its nets balanced one time ever 4 matches!

Most Valuable Player

It will be awarded to the managers that score the most points for their National Teams!!

@Kashaf-sanchez from India with 149 Points achieved for his National team, finishes this Final's first half in the lead, proving to be one of the protagonists of this Competition already! That's an astonishing performance! I'm delighted!

Bravo! Please clap your hands to these amazing Managers performances! Every National Team deserves to have the best players, and all of these folks are proving their draft calls were the correct thing to do!

Nation of the Day

Today we have Turkey in the board! They've granted a place in the Final by finishing 1st in Group B (with 1127 points)!

One of the Favourite National Teams to win the Competition, Turkey's performance so far is bellow all expectations - they have finished this Final's first half in the 10th place, with 229 points. One manager stands out in the Lineup, though: @oguzhan3407 with 10 wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats (20 scored goals and 13 conceded goals), is this MVP with a contribution of 130 points to the Team's score (57% of the total). @muratpdr2805 is also performing quite well, with a contribution of 97 points! Even though things aren't going as expected, I'm sure these folks will have a saying in the rounds to come! Come on Turkey!

Sir Hunchy. Over and Out. Time to make some calls, so we can have more surprise guests here in the Nations Diary premises! Cheerio!

Today our guest in Nations Diary is @arteromero from Spain ! He's currently the leader in the NC2021 Final's Extreme Evolution Award, and, in Round 1, finished 1st place in League 2C!

Q : Who is the person behind your nickname? Can you speak a little about yourself?
My name is Juan Carlos and I am 34 years old. I like to practice sports, especially water sports, boxing and cycling. I love nature and traveling. Now I am preparing to go around the world by boat.

Q : You had a successful NC 2021 Round 1, finishing 1st. What are your thoughts on your performance?
Finishing in first position and with a strong team has been a great achievement. I am very happy.

Q : Who were your biggest rivals on your way to success in Round 1 and what were the most difficult games you had?
Marjan F without a doubt. I managed to take first place from him on the last day. I lost both matches against him. Too bad he couldn't qualify for the final. Choca123 from Peru also made it very difficult for me.

Q : Let's speak about some aspects of the game itself when you're competing in such a high level like the NC. What is more important for you: the squad building or the tactical systems? Why?
The two. Without a good team it is difficult to win such a long league. And without good tactics players don't win games.

Q : Concerning the NC 2021 and the individual awards (Goal Frenzy, Extreme Evolution, The Wall and MVP), do they motivate you to perform even better? If so, why?
It is motivating. Especially when you see that your work is going well.

Q : The Final has already started and everyone is doing their best to take the gold medal home. Which National Team do you think will be the winner?
I hope Spain. And if not, India is very strong too. Bosnia last.

Thank you Juan Carlos! Congratulations for your impressive performance so far in this Nations Cup edition! And best of luck to Spain!

It will be awarded to the managers with more squad evolution in the leagues, with their teams!

arteromero from Spain with 485M Squad Evolution (more 30M than yesterday), is walking from the competition! It looks like this weekend OSM event was fully utilised by this guy!

Goal Frenzy

It will be awarded to the managers with more scored goals in the leagues with their teams!

hangaboy from Cameroon with 27 Scored Goals added one more goal to the sheet! The Goal Frenzy Cruise is crossing the seven seas fast and smoothly with this captain on the helm!

*The Wall

It will be awarded to the managers with less conceded goals in the leagues with their teams!

davidaguila76 from Spain has 5 goals conceded now, one more than yesterday. Two managers are with 6 conceded goals on the pursuit, so, how long will this guy's Wall resist?

Most Valuable Palyer

It will be awarded to the managers that score the most points for their National Teams!!

Kashaf sanchez from India with 160 Points scored for the National Team is walking away form the competition, but there's a Manager from Indonesia in the pursuit! The pressure is sky high here!

These Precious stones are amazing! Such quality in the shape and density! A Team with these Managers in the Lineup is surely a candidate to the win in any competition!

Nation of the Day

Brazil is on the spotlight today! They've finished in the 3rd place on the Qualifying Round Group A, with 655 points!

Brazil is in the 12th place in the Final's Leaderboard, with 229 points, having a performance bellow all expectations. Pointed out as a Favourite to win this Final, things aren't going as expected, but there's a lot of rounds to play yet, and in the Qualifying Round they also had a false start, but recovered quite impressively in the end! Will the story repeat itself?
@kapiva is Brazil's MVP after 17 rounds played in this Final (7 wins, 7 draws and 3 defeats, 15 scored goals and 8 conceded), having a 114 points contribution to the Team's score (46%). @Campelovisk is also performing quite well, with a score of 84 points (34%). After changing one player in the lineup, Brazil is trying to run in the outer lanes, and no one can expect less than full commitment from these guys! I'm sure you'll do your best until the very end!

Well folks! That's the end of the line for me today! It's time to rest now, as next week will surely be quite intense here at NC HQ! Bye!

Welcome @davidaguila76 from Spain ! He finished in the 1st place in League 1C, on the Qualifying round, and is currently the Leader in this Final's The Wall Individual award!

Q : Who is the person behind your nickname? Can you speak a little about yourself?
My name is David, I'm 45 years old, and I'm from Seville (Spain). I'm from the Real Betis balompie. Among my hobbies is sports and eating Sushi, pasta...

Q : You had a successful NC 2021 Round 1, finishing 1st. What are your thoughts on your performance?
In finished in first position in my league, with a wide difference to the rest. I think I did a very good performance, like the rest of my team.

Q : Who were your biggest rivals on your way to success in Round 1 and what were the most difficult games you had?
In general, they were all strong rivals, it is worth highlighting the performances of Jhonger, Alberbadilla, and the Serbian player.

Q : Let's speak about some aspects of the game itself when you're competing in such a high level like the NC. What is more important for you: the squad building or the tactical systems? Why?
Both are important, , all the aspects that make you win are important and these are the 2 most relevant pillars to achieve victory.

Q : Concerning the NC 2021 and the individual awards (Goal Frenzy, Extreme Evolution, The Wall and MVP), do they motivate you to perform even better? If so, why?
Of course the awards motivate me because I like to win everything.

Q : The Final has already started and everyone is doing their best to take the gold medal home. Which National Team do you think will be the winner?
I trust a lot in my team, we have great players so I would tell you that Spain is among my 1/2 favourites, also India, Serbia, Bosnia, Belgium and France.

Thank you David! Best of luck to Spain in this Final!

Serbia tylko jeden punkt za Belgią. Na czele pewnie po pierwsze mistrzostwo w nowym formacie zmierza Hiszpania, a za nią Indie.

@moltensky said in Nations Cup - Explanation, FAQ, Rules and Discussion:

Hello Friends!

Welcome to our daily routine! Nations Diary is back, and today we have so many changes in the Nations Cup 2021 Final Leaderboard! it looks like the show has just begun!

"I don't know where I'm going from here, but I promise it won't be boring." — David Bowie

NC2021 Final - Round 18 - Leaderboard

Belgium is back to the 3rd place (337 pts), and Serbia also climbed one position, being now 4th (336 pts), same as France, that in that in the last rounds is going fast up, currently being 5th (320 pts)! But the highlight goes to Morocco, that rose 4 positions since yesterday, and are now in the 6th place (311 pts). In the inverse path, Bosnia and Herzegovina fell 4 positions, occupying now the 7th place (297 pts), and Croatia fell 5 positions, and are now 11th (276 pts). Hungary completes by now the first half oh the Leaderboard, in the 8th place (296 pts), and is also proving they didn't came as tourists to this Final!

In the Lead, India is in the 1st place for two rounds in a row (427 pts), but Spain, 2nd (416 pts) is just one step away to be back to the top!

This NC scoring system is proving to be perfect for sky high emotions! No National Team may say they have their position cleared!

The Leaderboard reflects the results of the previous day, and already includes Penalties. No new Penalties were registered in the last days:

"There's a starman waiting in the sky, He'd like to come and meet us, But he thinks he'd blow our minds...". Hi there folks! Sir Hunchy is live again! I was just listening to David Bowie's Starman, and that's just a perfect intro for our Star Managers! They're surely blowing our minds with such great performances! Let's take a look!

Extreme Evolution

It will be awarded to the managers with more squad evolution in the leagues, with their teams!

• @davidaguila76 from Spain with 503 Squad Evolution is the new leader of this Award! The Spanish Managers are fighting among them for this title, and their current 2nd place in the Leaderboard may not keep that way for long with Gold diggers like this! India beware!

Goal Frenzy

It will be awarded to the managers with more scored goals in the leagues with their teams!

• @hangaboy from Cameroon with 29 Scored Goals is keeping his 2 goals per round pace! Even though his National Team isn't well positioned in the Leaderboard, this Manager is surely doing his best to rise the Team's moral!

The Wall

It will be awarded to the managers with less conceded goals in the leagues with their teams!

• @davidaguila76 from Spain , and @IvanAndal from Croatia now share the lead with 6 conceded goals both! That's just amazing performances! I'm quite sure all their opponents have cold sweats when the the day to face these guys comes!

Most Valuable Player

It will be awarded to the managers that score the most points for their National Teams!!

• @foulardinho from France with 161 Points scored for the National Team is the new leader! Maybe this Manager's performance has something to do with the last days rise of France in the Leaderboard... just saying!

OK. If these Managers aren't OSM stars already, well, after this Nations Cup edition, they'll be ones for sure! Every Crew in the World dreams to have OSM players like these!

Nation of the Day

Peru granted qualification be finishing 5th in Group C, with 663 points, ahead of good National Teams such as Slovenia, Algeria or Egypt! Their place in the Final was fully deserved!

Currently in the 13th position, with 258 points, Peru is living a dream, as their presence in this Final is already a huge victory for this quite recent National Team! @ChefGs420 is the MVP, with a 117 points contribution (45%) for the Team's score (9 wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats, 21 scored goals, and 16 conceded). The other lineup Managers are struggling in their leagues to improve performances, so, with so many rounds to play ahead, probably the Team's score will rise! Keep it up folks!

My journey for the day ends here! I'll get back to my beloved Bowie's songs. "Ziggy played guitar,Jamming good with Weird and Gilly, And the Spiders from Mars..." Rock on! Cheers!

After a round of interviews with players who have proved their worth in the this Nations Cup 2021 Qualifying Round, we'll get back to National Team Coach insights and opinions. Today, we have @sabit-mamedov as guest, he's the National team Coach of Azerbaijan !

Q : By creating Nations Cup, our main goal is to empower the culture of OSM National teams. What type of actions you think should be done on each National community, in order to achieve that goal? What can you tell us about your National team History?
First of all I'd like to suggest all communities to organize crew tournaments very often. There is no better way to make managers come together. Also I suggest to organize regional tournaments for nations like EURO, America Cup, Asia Cup etc. For this I also suggest to the forum administration to allow small communities like Azerbaijan, Kosovo, Serbia etc. to have their topics on the forum. Yes we can use English forum. But not everybody knows English. Azerbaijan national team was created about 3 years ago. At our debut competition we achieved bronze medals at EURO 2018. Also we reached to the final at WNT 2020. But unfortunately final battle was interrupted due to deleted league.

Q : From the several competitions in OSM, which of them you observe? When you build your shortlist, what's more important in a manager: squad building or tactical knowledge?
Of course right now I am observing Nations Cup and Crew Cup World most. Cause these competitions are organized more professionally and information about matches and leagues are always up to date. I prefer managers with strong squad building skills. Cause I think the most important factor in OSM is to have strong squad. Without it no tactic will work.

Q : How important is it for the development of a player to be part of a crew? Does a player need to be part of a crew to be called to your National Team Draft?
Crews are like schools for managers. If a manager is a newbie in OSM I suggest him/her to join strong crews. Managers can learn new things like how to build the best squad in short time, how to set up your tactic according to your squad and your opponents, to play in a team by battling together with crewmates. Of course for me as a captain it's important that manager must have any experience in a crew. Cause without crew experience he/she cannot cope with other teammates and play in a team.

Q : For future editions of Nations Cup, can you tell us what sort of improvements you would like to see implemented, in order to improve the Tournaments overall quality, and help it achieve the ultimate goal of being one of the reference competitions in the OSM National Teams universe?
I can suggest you to implement qualifying rounds before the final phase. Just like in real football. For example; let say there are registered about 30-40 nations. After qualifying round there will be remained 16 the best nations. This way we can begin final phase of the tournament with the best nations. This is about the format of the tournament. What about the system I'd like to see battles instead of leagues. As we call it Nations Cup I think there must be team battles, team play. If you have possibilities to implement battle system to this tournament it will be great for all of us.

Q : Would your Nation be available to play Nations Cup U21? What should be the criteria for participation?
Yes, we also have U-21 team. And they achieved 4th place at World Sub Cup in 2019. If there will be tournament for U-21 we will analyze the tournament criteria and rules, and after this we will decide whether to participate or not.

Thank you Sabit! Hope to see Azerbaijan in Nations Cup 2022! Meanwhile, best of luck for your participation in National Teams Competitions!

@Language-pl Tym razem w omówieniu kolejki znalazł się krótki, drugi wywiad ze mną, ukazujący moje refleksje z przeszłości i pokazujący moje pomysły odnośnie przyszłości drużyn narodowych w OSM.

@apocalipse4 said in Nations Cup - Explanation, FAQ, Rules and Discussion:

Hello my friends,

"Life can only be understood through a return to the past, but one can only live forward." - Soren Kierkegaard

Let´s see, how is the Leaderboard, after the 19th round :

Since yesterday, some changes happened, in the mid top table, as were expected, because until the end of this incredible Final, anything can happen! Still on the podium there were no changes, India (446 points) kept the 1st place and increased the advantage to Spain (407 points) which is 2nd, Belgium (361 points) is 3rd and approached the second place. Morocco (352 points) climbed two places, and is now 4th, followed by Hungary (347 points) continues to grow day by day, and has had one of the most significant climbs, in 6th place is Turkey (337 points) starred in another meteoric rise in the table. In the same growth register, Croatia (324 points) climbed from 11th place to 8th, with an opposite trend is France (326 points) that dropped from 5th place to 7th. Between 8th place and 3rd there´s only 37 points of difference!! So nothing is granted, and everyone has to stay sharp, and fight for every point as if it were the last!

The Leaderboard reflects the results of the previous day, and already includes Penalties.

Short summary of Nations Cup 2021 Penalties:

»» CPU offers cannot be accepted (-10 pts)
»» Instant sales prohibited (-10 pts)

Hi OSM lovers! Your trusted companion and advisor, Sir Hunchy is back! What have our mega coaches achieved in this journey of the Nations Cup Final? Surely glory and incredible deeds! Let´s take a look!

Extreme Evolution

It will be awarded to the managers with more squad evolution in the leagues, with their teams!

♾ @davidaguila76 from Spain with 546M of squad evolution, he keeps strenghtening his squad, adding value and quality! Super!

Goal Frenzy

It will be awarded to the managers with more scored goals in the leagues with their teams!

♾ @hangaboy from Cameroon with 29 Scored Goals, he is in the lead of this award, since the begining of the Final! Will he stand until the end? Congrats!

The Wall

It will be awarded to the managers with less conceded goals in the leagues with their teams!

♾ @davidaguila76 from Spain , and @IvanAndal from Croatia continue to share the leadership of this award! They seem like twins!

Most Valuable Player

It will be awarded to the managers that score the most points for their National Teams!!

♾ @Hispán16 from Hungary with 167 points conquered for his National team, is the new leader, what a performance! Bravo!

Like i´ve said before, this guys are the top of the top! They´re challenging the laws of Physic over here!

Nation of the Day

Today I will examine Ukraine to the smallest detail, they are in 14th place with 171 points.

They were, one of the surprises, in the qualification round, as they were debutants as a National team. In the Final, they had a bad start, but they are trying to rectify, and climb in the table. Neobiatnuy is their MVP, with 80 points, representing 44% of the total points Ukraine conquered, in 9 wins, 1 draw and 9 defeats. BestSamik is the second best manager, with 66 points, representing 36% of the total points his National team achieved, in 4 wins, 10 draws and 5 defeats. Reaching this final, among 43 teams, many of them with extensive experience, is already a great achievement in itself, everything that comes from here will be even more experience acquired for the future! Keep dreaming Ukraine!

Well fellows, i need to rest a bit! This is a plethora of emotions without stopping! I´m not a teenager anymore! I have to spare my poor heart! Bye Bye!

Continuing with the interviews, with the National coaches, tonight we receive, @Dovco_HandF the National coach of Poland, please give him a warm welcome

Q : By creating Nations Cup, our main goal is to empower the culture of OSM National teams. What type of actions you think should be done on each National community, in order to achieve that goal? What can you tell us about your National team History?
A: History. Each nation should write its own history in OSM. We do it. We write everything down: Historia turniejów polskiej społeczności OSM oraz Reprezentacji Polski w OSM https://forum.onlinesoccermanager.com/topic/60422/historia-turniejów-polskiej-społeczności-osm-oraz-reprezentacji-polski-w-osm/16 . In remembrance and tribute to those who devoted a lot of their time and money in the game, as well as for future generations of OSM managers, to see what happened long, long time ago, when they had not dreamed of playing OSM yet.
Officially, there are no national teams in OSM. I think the game is fantastic in many ways. Everyone who knows me knows I love OSM. But I miss this one in OSM from the beginning - the game at the level of national teams. And that could be very easy to organize. A crew named for example: National Team - Poland. Number 1 + 10 (1/2 selector + 9/10 competitors), total 11 people, minimum 1+4. Of course, these managers, being in the national team, could not be in their home crews at the same time. Just as it is in the real world. If you play a match for a club, you will not double it and you are not playing for the national team at the same time. The game system is already in place: Ranked Battles. On top of that, you only need to add a tab with the national team points system and we can play! Who knows, maybe it can be done in the future. Since there were national tournaments in the old battle system and now they are back in a different form, it means that this is a part of the game that the owners could consider in the future. Polish national team in OSM in the years 2011 - 2020 played 54 documented matches (including the matches of the "U21" team), having 33 victories and losing 22 games. Not bad considering we're not some great force at OSM. We won once: III WORLD NATIONS TOURNAMENT (2015/2016) - I played in this golden team and in the match vs Romania in the Grand Final. I remember when I won a very important match against Romanian and Global Staff star of OSM: Mariolacatus in the cup.Well, in the quarter-finals, we won all four matches in the cup and those extra points from the cup, with an even league, gave us the final victory. Beautiful story! Once we took fourth place: VI WORLD NATIONS TOURNAMENT (2018/2019) and once we were third in EURO NATIONS TOURNAMENT (2017/2018). From the beginning of the history of national teams in OSM, we take an active part in them. The number of representatives of our country is 70 people (without this tournament in 2021), playing proudly in the Polish national team. They played the most matches: Łukasz Kowalski (36), me that is Dovco_HandF (17), sniki26 (13), Rusewicz (11). Mati Colchoner, mihau1878 and Stefan Joptwojmać (10 each).
Q: From the several competitions in OSM, which of them you observe? When you build your shortlist, what's more important in a manager: squad building or tactical knowledge?
A: I observe all the tournaments in which take part any representatives of the Polish community and try to comment on the Polish forum, not only at the stage of national teams, but also at the stage of our crews, such as the Football Master Series (FMS). This is an official event organized by the OSM staff for experienced crews. Fantastic, full of emotions and fighting tournament, well run by Markez17, now General Manager at OSM. Equally interesting is the Crew Cup 2021: New and refreshing format, hosted by a great group of OSM fans, where you can watch the entire history of this most numerous tournament in OSM at the Crew Forum. I think that the complete manager at OSM has great tactical knowledge and is great at building a team based on scout, training and Transfer List. It is impossible to achieve success by building a team perfectly and playing with only one and the same set-up and tactics. And the best tactics will not help you achieve success in matches with good managers, if you can not build a team quickly and efficiently.
Q: How important is it for the development of a player to be part of a crew? Does a player need to be part of a crew to be called to your National Team Draft?
A: Crews attract people who are looking for more than just the desire to win against bots or weaker players. I dare say that the crews teach humility and losing. This is what all these group leagues or tournaments are for, not only to learn and improve from each other's victories, but also from defeats. Everyone wants to be a champion, but not many want help to achieve this and active teams train future national champions as world-class. Personally, I know a lot of managers who individually achieved nothing, and in group tournaments they are real beasts. Candidates to play in the national team should be people with a special mentality, because the attitude and mental strength is a factor in the growth of sports results to a very large extent. Investing in your development is the key to winning, it's not a secret. However at OSM it's important to be part of a good crew, if you want to be successful in team play. National teams are not for individualists. They can take part for example in OSM World Championships - tournament made for individualists. I would not call anyone to plays for the national team if I did not see that he is good at the team plays of his crew.
Q: For future editions of Nations Cup, can you tell us what sort of improvements you would like to see implemented, in order to improve the Tournaments overall quality, and help it achieve the ultimate goal of being one of the reference competitions in the OSM National Teams universe?
A: I have no ideas. I don't know what else you can do. You are doing a great job. No tournament for national teams has been conducted with greater panache and such professionalism before. Bravo!
Q : Would your Nation be available to play Nations Cup U21? What should be the criteria for participation?
A: I can not imagine that Poland U21 would not play in the new formula. This is the time for debutants, great managers, the future of this game. I would see the criteria very simple: no previous battles with the national team at any level. Debutants themselves. Team U21 made from one experienced player: between 500 and 1000 matches on one of the accounts, and the rest less than 500 games on one of the accounts. I can not imagine that debutants with a several thousand matches on one of the accounts would play in the tournament. This should be a tournament for young players in my opinion.

Thank you so much @Dovco_HandF for this incredible interview! It´s always a pleasure, to receive your thoughts on this matter, we can feel your passion for National teams competitions! Thank you also, for the kind words, about our work in Nations Cup, nothing of this would be possible, without you and the other National coaches/captains, that trusted us, and supported this project, even before his birth! We are counting, with Poland, for Nations Cup 2022! Good luck to Poland, for the next competitions, in which you will participate!!

Your Feedback is very important to us!

We've launched a new initiative, here in Crews Forum, with the purpose of improving the manager´s experience, by consulting their opinion. This new topic it´s for the whole community, not only for the participants of the Nations Cup 2021, but for every user of OSM. Everyone is welcome! You can check it here.

Still counting! 84th edition of Nations Diary, is over, but we promise, to get back tomorrow, with more news and updates, in your Nations Diary! ️

Thank you, stay safe and enjoy life!

Hello my friends,

"When you speak, you only repeat what you already know, but when you listen, you may learn something totally new." - Dalai Lama

Nations Cup 2021 - Leaderboard - Round 20

There are 10 games left to finish this great final. India (472 points) withstood the pressure from Spain (432 points) and managed to increase the advantage to 40 points. Belgium (403 points) hold the 3rd place, and managed to reduce the difference in points for the first and second placed. Turkey (352 points) climbed from 6th to 4th, Croatia (351 points) managed to do even better, rose from 8th to 5th place and is just 1 point from 4th place. In 6th place is France (345 points) and is only 7 points from 4th place, Serbia (341 points) is in 7th place, and closing the mid top table, is Hungary (339 points) that dropped from 5th to 8th position. Between 4th place and 8th, there´s only 13 points separating the National teams! Until the end, there will be even more changes, as the balance is great and a turnaround can happen at any time!

Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen, to my humble chronicle, where the OSM gods delight the people everyday! With the bless of the almighty, Hunchy will seek their favour, to bring to you, the fantastic "miracles" of Nations Cup!

Extreme Evolution

It will be awarded to the managers with more squad evolution in the leagues, with their teams!

@arteromero from Spain with 596M of squad evolution, is the new leader in a constant dance with @davidaguila76 two incredible managers, but only one might win! Cheers!

Goal Frenzy

It will be awarded to the managers with more scored goals in the leagues with their teams!

@hangaboy from Cameroon with 32 Scored Goals, he is a scoring machine! Bravo!

The Wall

It will be awarded to the managers with less conceded goals in the leagues with their teams!

@davidaguila76 from Spain with 6 conceded goals, is the isolated leader, his bricks are better than the opposite strikers! Congrats! 🧱

Most Valuable Player

It will be awarded to the managers that score the most points for their National Teams!!

@oguzhan3407 from Turkey with 173 points conquered for his National team, is the new leader, in one of the awards with more turnover and more unpredictable! Well done mate!

Wonders of the OSM World, this managers keep the level so high, that i think they´ll set new records, that will endure through time!

Nation of the Day

Today I will analyze, another of the surprises of the qualifying phase: Cameroon!

They stand in 15th place with 158 points, but they deserve to be in another position. After a good and fresh performance in qualification phase, where they finish in 3rd place in Group B, ahead of National teams like Belgium and Morocco, this Final has gone in a completely different way. Hangaboy is their MVP with 75% of the total points his National team has achieved, and has the best attack of the competition with 32 scored goals! His sidekick is otman347891 with 25% of the total points Cameroon conquered so far. This means, that they are fighting alone, because the other 2 managers, have negative score, and have not been able to contribute to the National team score. Whatever happens until the end of this Final, this participation in the Nations Cup, will be remembered and they will be among the 16 best teams in the competition.

"Sure honey, i´m coming!" sorry guys, my wife is calling me to bed! It´s score night!! See ya folks!

Tonight, in Nations Diary, we receive the National coach of Portugal , @bababufias that stood in 8th place in Group A in the qualfication phase, please give him a warm welcome!

Q : By creating Nations Cup, our main goal is to empower the culture of OSM National teams. What type of actions you think should be done on each National community, in order to achieve that goal? What can you tell us about your National team History?
A : The Cup of Nations was an excellent idea to foster that same culture of national teams, which to grow, will always depend on the effort of each of the coaches of each country, to make an effort within each country to grow this culture of national teams. .
About my history of selection of Portugal, I was selected in 2015 for the selection with Rui Silenoz and since then I was always called for all competitions. When he changed the coach with the dear Pedro, I also continued to be called, I was lucky in 2015. to be called and grabbed that opportunity and demonstrated my quality as a player, after the national team stopped due to the GB having withdrawn the old battles, I ran for national coach, and now I am working with a staff, so that the name of Portugal is honored and led to glory.
Q : From the several competitions in OSM, which of them you observe? When you build your shortlist, what's more important in a manager: squad building or tactical knowledge?
A : I have a staff that helps me with the observation of players and we make a report of each one of them that comes with important aspects that we think are relevant for the evaluation of each one, and I follow the competitions closely in general, with many players Portuguese with quality. About player evaluation, making a valuable squad is an important aspect, about tactical knowledge, only through the classification in the table and the group to which the player belongs can we have an idea.
Q : How important is it for the development of a player to be part of a crew? Does a player need to be part of a crew to be called to your National Team Draft?
A : It is important for the player to develop appetites, and to develop his strategies and then check whether through the results that he has in individual and collective competitions. On the second question, it is not mandatory to be part of a group, to be part of the draft.
Q : For future editions of Nations Cup, can you tell us what sort of improvements you would like to see implemented, in order to improve the Tournaments overall quality, and help it achieve the ultimate goal of being one of the reference competitions in the OSM National Teams universe?
A : I think it is too early to make this analysis because the test has not yet come to an end, however so far I have seen a huge effort by all elements of the organization, so that it runs smoothly, and this is very valuable to me, I see a huge delivery from the organization so that the competition runs smoothly.
Q : Would your Nation be available to play Nations Cup U21? What should be the criteria for participation?
A : Yes, you can count on Portugal, and for that purpose there must be a limit of games played by each participant, to be able to participate in this event.

This is what the Nations Cup is made of, great coaches, enlightened and enlightening, who project their knowledge and cultivate the spirit of being a member of a National team. Thank you Rui, for this great interview! We are counting with Portugal for Nations Cup 2022, meanwhile we wish the best of luck, for all competitions, that Portugal participate in the future!

Cheers mates! One more round is played, and we're already in the final countdown to this Nations Cup 2021 Grand Finale! Who will be the Champion? We'll, that depends entirely on how well Managers will perform in the last 9 rounds! And some of them are already leaving a significant mark! Hi, I'm Sir Hunchy! Let's take a look on the Individual Awards performances:

Extreme Evolution

It will be awarded to the managers with more squad evolution in the leagues, with their teams!

@davidaguila76 from Spain with 619M of Squad Evolution is in a constant dance with his teammate @arteromero ! This looks like a Flamenco performance! Olé!

Goal Frenzy

It will be awarded to the managers with more scored goals in the leagues with their teams!

@hangaboy from Cameroon with 32 Scored Goals didn't score in this round! But is sill quite comfortable in the lead, 6 goals ahead form the competition!

The Wall

It will be awarded to the managers with less conceded goals in the leagues with their teams!
@davidaguila76 from Spain with 6 conceded goals is holding with heart and soul the leadership in this Award! That's an average of 0,3 conceded goals per round!

Most Valuable Player

It will be awarded to the managers that score the most points for their National Teams!!

@Kashaf-sanchez from India with 184 points conquered for the National team, is back to the lead! This Award will be disputed fiercely until the last round!

Along with this "usual suspects", a lot of Managers are also doing their best to help National Teams achieve their goals! I'm delighted with the superb quality we have in this Nations Cup edition!

Nation of the Day

Syria in on the radar today! They've finished 4th place in Group A, in the Qualifying Round, with 653 points!

Things aren't going as expected for this National Team, as they are currently in the last place (16th) with only 56 points. One manager stands out in Syria's lineup, though: @hani-koubeisi has a 76 points contribution for the National Team score, with 7 wins, 5 draws and 9 defeats (17 goals scored, 21 conceded). The other managers in the lineup are quite bellow in their performance levels, and the last place they occupy can't be seen as a surprise. But there's 9 rounds ahead, so... give your best guys! A recovery is still possible!

SIr Hunchy ends his live here! He's already running to the backstage, as he's forgotten to feed the Iguana! Poor thing! Bye!

In tonight's edition of Nations Diary, we're pleased to welcome @benilevels , National Team Coach of Panama!

Q : By creating Nations Cup, our main goal is to empower the culture of OSM National teams. What type of actions you think should be done on each National community, in order to achieve that goal? What can you tell us about your National team History?
Our country is a very small one and with a population of only 4 million. In osm, is very hard. We are only 9 users interested in representing our country.
There's no such big history here, we made a huge impact on the former competition known as WNT and people started mentioning Panama but it is very hard for ourselves.
Time, resources and availability.

Q : From the several competitions in OSM, which of them you observe? When you build your shortlist, what's more important in a manager: squad building or tactical knowledge?
I'm focused in the national team tournaments.
Basically TNH, which is an official competition.
100% squad building and 100% tactical... We focus on both, this game is programmed for you to spend your coins.

Q : How important is it for the development of a player to be part of a crew? Does a player need to be part of a crew to be called to your National Team Draft?
I developed myself in a crew, and started guiding my people in Panama.
Not necessarily to be part of a crew, we are still looking for new members to join our team..

Q : For future editions of Nations Cup, can you tell us what sort of improvements you would like to see implemented, in order to improve the Tournaments overall quality, and help it achieve the ultimate goal of being one of the reference competitions in the OSM National Teams universe?
No limit in crew per rounds (for example, 3 from THE LAST WARRIORS and 1 from RENACIDOS in round 1 should be allowed)

Q : Would your Nation be available to play Nations Cup U21? What should be the criteria for participation?
Yes, we will be available.

Thank you for your kindness to answer our questions, and we hope to see Panama in next year's edition of Nations Cup!

Your Feedback is very important to us!

Hello my friends,

"Life is a daily learning. I move away from chaos and follow a simple thought: the simpler the better!" - José Saramago

Nations Cup 2021 - Leaderboard - Round 22

With 8 rounds to be played, India (522 points) and Spain (456 points) and Belgium (448 points) kept the podium, but the difference between the 1st and the 2nd is now bigger more than 50 points, and the difference between 2nd and 3rd is smaller only 8 points! In 4th place is Croatia (407 points) and Hungary (390 points) also kept their positions but more distant from the first 3. In 6th position is Serbia (387 points) that had climbed from 9th, in 7th place is Morocco (382 points) that dropped from 6th. And closing the first half of the table, is France (375 points) that climbed from 10th position. Unbelievable! In a single round, any team can climb 2 or 3 positions, or drop the same way, with exception for India, that is a bit more confortable, and "out" of reach, anything is possible!

Live and broadcasting to the world, here i am, you´re one man show : Sir Hunchy!! This Final is cracking my nerves! In so many years of OSM, i never witnessed such a quality and high standards of this incredible managers! Let´s see, what they have accomplished in this round :

Extreme Evolution

It will be awarded to the managers with more squad evolution in the leagues, with their teams!

@davidaguila76 from Spain with 668M of squad evolution, keeps digging and "pilling" up quality for his team! Super!

Goal Frenzy

It will be awarded to the managers with more scored goals in the leagues with their teams!

@hangaboy from Cameroon with 33 scored goals, continues to overwhelm opponents' defenses!! Superb!

The Wall

It will be awarded to the managers with less conceded goals in the leagues with their teams!

@zenudin_m from Bosnia @davidaguila76 from Spain and @Hispán16 from Hungary are tied with 8 conceded goals, this will be very dificult to decide!

Most Valuable Player

It will be awarded to the managers that score the most points for their National Teams!!

@Hispán16 from Hungary with 194 points conquered for his National team, recovered the leadership of this award, but this far from being settled! Bravo!

This League of Champions is something surreal! When i think that they are in the edge, they manage to raise even more the records!

Nation of the Day

Currently in 2nd postion with 456 points, after being in 1st place for several rounds, Spain is still fighting for the title! This very balanced line-up, with Jason_brody (127 points) as MVP and Davidaguila76 (126 points) as the second best, had a drop in performance that led the team to lose the leadership of the Final. As you can see, in this graphic, from 16 days ago :

They managed to level the score achieved, among all coaches, but the "stars" Mickytuli and Davidaguila76 started to contribute with less points individually. If they raise their game again, i think it´s possible to recover the 1st place and become the winner of Nations Cup 2021! Do not underestimate La Roja!

"43...12...24...51...69..." - Bingo! I win! Yeah! Sorry guys, it´s Bingo night here at home! Well, i´ll be back tomorrow, to bring you the best performances in Nations Cup! Cheers!

They stayed in 8th place, in Group B, in the qualification phase, and tonight in Nations Diary, we receive their National coach, directly from the U.A.E. please welcome @mcfc_uae169

Q : By creating Nations Cup, our main goal is to empower the culture of OSM National teams. What type of actions you think should be done on each National community, in order to achieve that goal? What can you tell us about your National team History?
A : First of all, we start in 2018 with only 10 manager maybe 4 years ago in those years we was developed our national team I do just 5% what my team do they do hard work to keep going if you not have good players that support you to develop this national team you can’t continue , if you want to achieve the goal you should to cooperate with each if tactics or any thing that help us without cooperate your team will be stopped in same position you start in , and actually you should to learn the experience from other national teams, yes you will lose but in other time you will be the winner, we have some words is say impossible is possible that is our banner.
Q : From the several competitions in OSM, which of them you observe? When you build your shortlist, what's more important in a manager: squad building or tactical knowledge?
A : The national team championship and crew championship , the important for us is not the tactics maybe this is working now but after few months or days will come another update for this game and it will be over the ‏squad building is great things you do and they will found the tactics.
Q : How important is it for the development of a player to be part of a crew? Does a player need to be part of a crew to be called to your National Team Draft?
A : No , the player should play with us in many leagues than we will decide if he can play in national championship or not.
Q : For future editions of Nations Cup, can you tell us what sort of improvements you would like to see implemented, in order to improve the Tournaments overall quality, and help it achieve the ultimate goal of being one of the reference competitions in the OSM National Teams universe?
A : I have suggestions, I was see the new championship have games 4 vs 4 but thay not in same league indevgual leagues , I think it’s great if you do like this in next year of championship , I I have another suggestion it’s not about national championship it about mixed like crew championship but you will select the the groups it’s hard organization but in future maybe we will have like this.
Q : Would your Nation be available to play Nations Cup U21? What should be the criteria for participation?
A : Yes sure it’s great
I think the player who participate should not played before in national championship.

Thank you @mcfc_uae169 for this interview, and for the ideas and suggestions for a future edition of Nations Cup. Meanwhile, we wish the best of luck, for future competitions, that U.A.E. will participate, and we are counting with you, for Nations Cup 2022!

Good evening OSM fans! now live from the Nations Cup Arena, the one and only Sir Hunchy!

Greetings folks! This Nations Cup 2021 Final never stops to surprise me! When everyone thought the title would be a 2 Teams dispute between India and Spain, here's Belgium appearing in the horizon like a shinning knight! The Red Devils are on the run, and let's see how things evolve! India can't rest a second, and Spain... well, I'm quite sure they won't cease trying to get back to the top! That's what I call a twisted plot!

And now, let's take a look on the Managers performances.

Extreme Evolution

It will be awarded to the managers with more squad evolution in the leagues, with their teams!

@davidaguila76 from Spain with 777M of Squad Evolution is making the most of this weekends OSM event! He's already 101M ahead from the competition!

Goal Frenzy

It will be awarded to the managers with more scored goals in the leagues with their teams!

@hangaboy from Cameroon with 34 Scored Goals added one more goal to his personal score, and is now 6 goals ahead from the competition. That's an average of 1,55 goals per round! Given this Final's high level, that's quite an impressive performance!

The Wall

It will be awarded to the managers with less conceded goals in the leagues with their teams!

@zenudin_m from Bosnia and Herzegovina and @Hispán16 from Hungary are still both with 8 conceded goals. Let's who will hold longer the nets unbalanced!

Most Valuable Player

It will be awarded to the managers that score the most points for their National Teams!!

@Hispán16 from Hungary with 204 points conquered for the Team is now 20 points ahead from the 2th. This Manager alone represents 50% of Hungary's current score! Awesome!

As we get closer to this Epic Final's ending, with just 8 rounds to play, it's time to see the mental strength of all the Managers in competition! It's all or nothing from now on! Focus is the key word!

Nation of the Day

Bosnia and Herzegovina is back to the analysis board! Last time i've take a look in this Team's performance, they were in the 2nd place (after round 7).

This Team's performance has been quite volatile in the last rounds, proof that the competitive level of this Final is sky high! After round 22, they're in the 7th place, with 398 points, and everything is still possible! @zenudin_m continues to be this Team's MVP, now with 181 points (45% of the Team's total score), with 12 wins, 6 draws and 4 defeats, 24 scored goals and 8 conceded (one of the best performances in The Wall award). The other three lineup Managers are with positive performances, and it's up to them the extra boost Bosnia needs to climb up in the Leaderboard!

Bellow you can see this Team's performance graphic back from round 7:

My job is done for today! I've decided to move in closer to this Nations Cup Arena, now, as I could't bear anymore with all the constant trips back and forth home! These guys gave me a quiet flat in the top of the Nations Cup Tower, right beside the Arena. It's a penthouse, with a private pool! Not bad! I miss home, but... I could be worse! Back to the pool now! The champagne is getting warmer! Cheers!

In today's edition of Nations Diary, well get back to the Managers interviews! Some of them are performing outstandingly in this Nations Cup 2021 Final, and that's precisely the case of @Kashaf-sanchez from India , that is currently one of the Most Valuable Players of this Final, with a personal score of 185 points!

Q - What do you think of the Tournament?
I think it’s really a good competition, I am really enjoying my self this is the first time I’m representing India and I hope I’ll do the same in years to come.

Q - Do you have any suggestion to improve it?
The sim timings are not suitable that’s the only issue I’m facing right now. Other than this everything is perfect.

Q - Were you expecting to represent your National team? What's the feeling?
I didn’t expect it because there are many managers who play well in India but my team captain provided me with the opportunity and I’m relishing it.

Q - What can you tell, about your OSM career?
It started along back mostly was playing my friends back in days until one day played with paniyat and started playing competitively and now I play for one of the best crews in the game Idios Assassins.

Q - If you win this award, what does it mean to you?
It means everything I have worked hard for it staying up late for sims sometimes and being active on transfer lists despite working, so yeah it will mean a lot.

Q - Can you unveil your secret to success?
I just work hard on tactics. If one doesn’t work switch on to the other one. Trying to figure out different tactics that work, that's the only secret.

Thank you! Best of luck for these final rounds! Go Tigers!

Your Feedback is very important to us!

Today i'll take a look on the performance of India! Last time I've had them on the spotlight (after round 8), they were in the 2nd place with 195 points! 16 rounds after, they're on the lead!

India is already seen by all as strong candidate to the Final Victory! They're now in the 1st place, with 603 points, 103 points ahead from the closest opponent! Two Tigers are really performing incredibly so far: @Kashaf-sanchez is India's MVP so far, with 203 points scored (34% of the Teams total), with 13 wins, 6 draws and 5 defeats, 27 scored goals, 12 conceded; but @Paniyath is also in good shape, contributing with 183 points for the Team total (30%). The other two lineup managers, @M-Vaswani and @Mubashir2222 , both with a 18% contribution, complete India's Dream Team! These Tigers are proving to be a very solid lineup, even thought they're facing awkward simulation times for their Time Zone! Impressive work!

Bellow you can check the analysis table of this team after round 8:

With 6 rounds to go, we're facing an intense final line! Everything is already being prepared here in the Nations Cup Arena for the big day! Can't wait to see who will be the winners not only in the Individual Awards, bur also which National Team will raise the Nations Cup 2021 Champion Trophy! Stay tuned folks!

Welcome @zenudin_m from Bosnia and Herzegovina, the current leader of The Wall Award, with only 8 conceded goals after 24 rounds!

Q - What do you think of the Tournament?
The tournament is very good. I believe it will be uncertain and tense to the very end. Many national teams played, but unfortunately not all of them could play in the finals. I hope it will take place next year as well, because playing in such a big tournament means a lot.
I would also commend the organizers who are doing a great job.

Q - Do you have any suggestion to improve it?
When it comes to improving the quality of the tournament itself, first of all I would remove the rule that dictates there can be only 2 managers from the same crew, thus enabling the national teams with smaller communities to be able to bring the best they have got to the tournament.

Q - Were you expecting to represent your National team? What's the feeling?
To be honest, I didn’t think I was going to represent my national team. Primarily because I almost, a year ago, started playing OSM. But, of course, I am glad that the selector, AdiAgainCcC, recognized my quality and invited me to play for the national team.
The feeling is amazing. Representing my national team in one big tournament means a lot to me.

Q - What can you tell about your OSM career?
I can say a few sentences about my OSM career. I started playing OSM out of boredom, with my friends. I played like that for 2 months, purely out of boredom. I soon understood the concept of games, how it works, and I was getting better day by day. Thanks to my selector, AdiAgainCcC, and my good friend, IvanAndal, I became an even better manager, and this can be seen in my results in the NC finals.
Certainly, I still have a lot to learn.

Q - If you win this award, what does it mean to you?
If we won the award it would mean a lot to us. We are a small country from the Balkans, which does not have some rights like other competing national teams. Winning NC would be a great success, given that we entered the finals as “outsiders”. They would also settle for a place at the very top (laughs).

Q - Can you unveil your secret to success?
The secret of success? Analyze opponents well, what they play at home and what away. What formations do they use, what players are available for the match. And most importantly, a good and proven tactic that you need to be sure of. I think that is the most important thing, but of course there are some little things that I would not like to reveal to the public.

Thank you for your insights and availability to answer our questions @zenudin_m ! Best of luck to Bosnia and Herzegovina in the final rounds!

Your Feedback is very important to us!

We've launched a new initiative, here in Crews Forum, with the purpose of improving the manager´s experience, by consulting their opinion. This new topic it´s for the whole community, not only for the participants of the Nations Cup 2021, but for every user of OSM. Everyone is welcome! You can check it here.

That's all for today's edition of Nations Diary! We're only 6 rounds away from knowing which National Team will be the first Nations Cup Champion! Next week will be quite intense! Don't miss a bit! We'll be here day after day, as usual, to keep you updated! See you tomorrow!

Thank you, stay safe and enjoy life!

Hello my friends,

Nations Cup 2021 Final - Leaderboard - Round 25

With 5 rounds to play, there were changes in the Leaderboard again, with Spain recovering the 3rd place. India (597 points) kept the lead, but with less advantage over Belgium (507 points) which in turn increased the advantage over Spain (486 points) to 21 points. Croatia (483 points) is in 4th place, and Morocco (463 points) kept the 5th position, Hungary (459 points) climbed from 8th to 6th place. Bosnia (448 points) dropped from 6th to 7th position, and France (433 points) dropped from 7th place to 8th closing the mid top table. Between 3rd and 8th there are only 53 points, which means that more changes will happen in the table, just a less successful game, by one of the coaches, will be enough to cause these changes! All the details are important, the pressure continues to rise, only with steel nerves can the error be avoided!

The Leaderboard reflects the results of the previous day, and already includes Penalties.

"Once upon a time...4 friends decided to do something, for their community ... and so was born ... the Nations Cup!" Howdy folks! I was explaining, my youngest son, how did this project started. Today I am feeling nostalgic, this adventure is approaching the end. But until then, let´s see how did our superstars performed!

Extreme evolution

It will be awarded to the managers with more squad evolution in the leagues, with their teams!
@davidaguila76 from Spain with 789M of squad evolution, is still the King of squad buiding! Bravo!

Goal Frenzy

It will be awarded to the managers with more scored goals in the leagues with their teams!
@hangaboy from Cameroon with 36 scored goals, remains in sharp aim and the terror of defenses! Congrats!

The Wall

It will be awarded to the managers with less conceded goals in the leagues with their teams!
@zenudin_m from Bosnia and Herzegovina with 8 conceded goals, managed to keep his goal locked! Cheers!

Most Valuable Player

It will be awarded to the managers that score the most points for their National Teams!!
@Hispán16 from Hungary with 219 points conquered for his National team, strengthens and inspires your companions! Great job! 🧲

This guys, know no boundaries or limits, they keep pushing and pushing, and we are lucky to be able to follow this epic performances!

Nation of the Day

16 days ago, i made the first analysis, on their performance, and they were, in 3rd place with 194 points, as you can see in the next graphic :
But since then, things didn´t run as they expect, and now Indonesia is in 10th place with 388 points, let´s take a look at their actual stats :

As you can see, KING GOSSY is still their MVP, with 171 points representing 44% of the total points Indonesia conquered. Followed by muse muse with 131 points representing 34% of the total points that his National team achieved. The downfall in the Leaderboard, due to the fact that only 2 coaches continue to earn points, and the other 2 coaches are unable to match or improve performances. Nevertheless, they still have 5 rounds, to try to climb in the table, and if they don´t manage to do it, they´ve already done a great competition, and they will stand in top 16 of Nations Cup Ranking.

And that´s it fellows! This is the end of today´s report. I´ll be back tomorrow, and i´m pretty sure, with huge expectations! Cheerio!

Tonight, in Nations Diary, we continue with the series of interviews, to the coaches, who are standing out in the awards. And this guy, has been in the spotlight since the 1st round, please give a warm welcome, to the leader of the Goal Frenzy award : @hangaboy from Cameroon

Q : Who is the person behind your nickname?
A : My name is Hanga Catalin, 32 years old, father of three children.
Q : You had a successful NC 2021 Round 1, finishing 1. What are your thoughts on you performance?
A : Yes, à very good first round for me. I try always to do my best.
Q : Who were your biggest rivals on your way to success in Round 1 and what were the most difficult games you had?
A : In a high Level tournement like this all managers are very good so each match is very difficult.
Q : Concerning the NC 2021 and the individual awards (Goal Frenzy, Extreme Evolution, The Wall and MVP), do they motivate you to perform even better? If so, why?
A : I try always to do my best but for sure that individual awards give us more motivation
Q : The Final has already started and everyone is doing their best to take the gold medal home. Which National Team do you think will be the winner?
A : Unfortunetly Cameroun sélection is already out of run for golden medal. Of course for the moment the Spanish are very good for the first place, but there are some Nations who can put them problems.

Thank you Hanga, you are an inspiration for us all, some of us are also fathers, and reconciling family life with a high level competition, such as the Nations Cup, is not always easy to achieve. Once again, thank you for this wonderful interview and good luck to Cameroon!

Nations Cup 2021 Final - Leaderboard - Round 26

Another turnaround in the table, now it was Croatia that stood out the most, as it overtook Spain to enter the podium! India (599 points) kept the lead but only 71 points ahead of Croatia (528 points), which is in 2nd place, Belgium (526 points) closes the podium in 3rd. Spain (493 points) dropped from 3rd to 4th place, Morocco (471 points) kept the 5th, and Hungary (468 points) is in 6th position. In 7th is Indonesia (465 points) that had the biggest climb from 10th, and closing the mid top table is France (440 points) in 8th position. With only 4 rounds to play, it remains unpredictable who will be the winner of the Nations Cup, the gap between 1st and 3rd is only 73 points, and between 4th and 8th is 53 points. The thrill is high!!

Live from Nations Cup Tower, and broadcasting to the entire world, I'm back, with the latest developments in this frantic Final! Beloved fans, Hunchy is ready, to bring you the OSM elite, and amaze you with their achievements!

Extreme evolution

It will be awarded to the managers with more squad evolution in the leagues, with their teams!
@arteromero from Spain with 855M of squad evolution, is back in the lead of this award! But will he be able to keep it?! Congrats!

Goal Frenzy

@hangaboy from Cameroon with 40 scored goals, continues to "destroy" defenses at his own pleasure! Salut!

@Hispán16 from Hungary with 9 conceded goals, is the new leader in this award! Lock the goal mate! 🧱

Most Valuable Player

It will be awarded to the managers that score the most points for their National Teams!!
@Hispán16 from Hungary with 232 points conquered for his National team, managed to keep the lead in one of the most disputed awards! Bravo!

No wonder, Hungary did such a brilliant climb in the ranking, this manager @Hispán16 is on fire!

Nation of the Day

France that is currently in 8th place with 440 points, had a strong start, as you can see, by this report made 16 days ago :

They were in 3rd position with 231 points, and foulardinho was their MVP with 42% of the points. They managed to balance, the points achieved by all managers, as you see in this graphic :

And foulardinho is still their best manager, with 163 points representing 36% of the total points, followed by Remy Goubet with 110 points (24%). But the other teams also manage to grow their point rate, and France even doing an excellent final, couldn´t achieve enough strenght, to climb back to the podium. Nevertheless, this are world class managers, and one of the best National teams in this tournament, and they might get a higher ranking until the end of the competition. Allez les Bleus!

Well i´m exausted! This Final seems like a Rollercoaster! My poor heart is still pounding with so much emotion! I need to chill a little bit, it´s time to go to bed, and recover energy! Bye Bye!

Our guest tonight at Nations Diary has been featured at The Wall and MVP awards, he comes from Hungary please give a warm welcome to @Hispán16

A : Great tournament, I really like it. The organization is very professional and the daily reports make it really interesting, I always read. Praise goes to the organizers!
Q : Do you have any suggestion to improve it?
A : I'm basically happy with everything, I can't say anything about it.
Q : Were you expecting to represent your National team? What's the feeling?
A : It feels great, I think it is the top in every manager career if found worthy to represent her/his country. Thanks for the opportunity to our captain, I try my best to do a good service for the hungarian osm community.
Q : What can you tell, about your OSM career?
A : I have been playing the game since 2012. Between '14 to '19 i was mostly inactive, fully returned in the mid of '19 with an old friend of mine from the game. From 2020 I am a proud member of Buda FCKN Pest crew. We had a great success this year by being included in the top 10 of crew battle ranking. Our goal is stay here as long as we can.
Q : If you win this award, what does it mean to you?
A : Of course it would be a great success, but it motivates me more to get the team to finish in the best possible place.
Q : Can you unveil your secret to sucess?
A : I use a lot of tactical formation, maybe the secret is to choose the right tactic at the right time. Furthermore I like make my team to get the national bonus, it can means a lot in close matches.

Hey there beloved fans! Today I flew in NC's brand new flight simulator! The sight of the multiple football fields where all the action takes place was amazing! Now I'm back to Nations Cup Tower, and, without further delay, let's take a look at this tournament's Final stars, the Managers performances!

Extreme evolution

It will be awarded to the managers with more squad evolution in the leagues, with their teams!

@arteromero from Spain with 906M of Squad Evolution is getting very close to the milestone! With 3 rounds to go, how further will this gold digging go?

Goal Frenzy

It will be awarded to the managers with more scored goals in the leagues with their teams!

@hangaboy from Cameroon with 41 Scored Goals seems unstoppable! Will the 50 goals landmark be beaten?!

The Wall

It will be awarded to the managers with less conceded goals in the leagues with their teams!

@Hispán16 from Hungary held the 9 conceded goals! That's an average of 0,33 conceded goals per round!

Most Valuable Player

It will be awarded to the managers that score the most points for their National Teams!!

@Hispán16 from Hungary with 245 points conquered fot the Team is already in approaching the final laps! This guy alone represents 50% of the Team's total! That's what I call a star!

Nation of the Day

Belgium is currently in 4th place, with 532 points! Last time they had the spotlight, in round 11, they were in the 5th place!

Belgium is proving to be a quite strong lineup, with all 4 Managers scoring above 100 points each! One Manager stands out from the others, though: @maskedandy_1 is this Team's MVP, with a 185 points contribution to the Team's Total (35%) - 13 wins, 9 draws and 5 defeats, 22 scored goals and 17 conceded. With just three rounds ahead to play, I'm sure these Red Devils will work together to climb up the Leaderboard as high as they can! They're just 2 points from the 3rd place, and 10 points from the 2nd place! Anything can happen!

These were Belgium's stats after round 11:

Well folks! These final rounds won't be easy for any of the National Teams! Their scores are so close! I believe that even India won't celebrate until the last league's round is played! These are times for the toughest ones! Tomorrow I'll step back to the flight simulator as fast as I can! I don't want to miss any of the action! Cheers!

Our guest today, in Nations Diary, is @davidaguila76 from Spain, one of the protagonists in this Nations Cup Final's Extreme Evolution Award!

Q - What do you think of the Tournament?
This is a great tournament where there is a very high level. Today (2 days ago), with 5 days left, anyone can win, although India seems to be the great favourite.

Q - Do you have any suggestion to improve it?
You can always improve something, although it must be recognized that this is being a great tournament , with very good organization, hopefully it will last for many years.

Q - Were you expecting to represent your National team? What's the feeling?
In my team there great players and anyone could do it well, it was difficult but he mystery I trust me, it is appreciated. My feeling, well we did an extraordinary first round and now it seems that things have turned uphill for us, in my case more, things are not working out as I usually show, but it is a game and sometimes things go wrong for one, even se we fight until the end.

Q - What can you tell, about your OSM career?
My career, well, it's going to be 7 years now, and luckily I have achieved a lot of things both at a group and individual level and I am proud of where I have come. Among my outstanding titles are 2 times WWC champion, 1 BHP, 1 THN, and being 2 consecutive times in the WC final, finishing third and sixth... But I still want more...

Q - If you win this award, what does it mean to you?
If we win that prestigious tournament, it will be very important for me and for my Country, to consolidate ourselves as one of the best teams in the world.

Q - Can you unveil your secret to success?
The secret of my success is in giving everything in each tournament, being humble and always supporting and helping my teammates, since I don't forget that this is a team game, not individual, because here one never ceases to be surprised at times with the simulator.

Thank you for your experienced insights of the game! It is always an honour tho receive gusts like this in our Nations Cup humble house! Best of luck to Spain!

Good evening my dearest fans! It's me, Sir Hunchy, and I'm looking for nails to chew, as mine are long gone! I can't believe how intense this Nations Cup Final is proving to be! Outstanding! Not even in my wildest dreams I could imagine this Tournament's superb competitiveness and uncertain outcome until the very end! Amazing!

Let's take a look on how managers are performing, so close to the end of this Final!

Extreme evolution

It will be awarded to the managers with more squad evolution in the leagues, with their teams!

@arteromero from Spain with 929M of Squad Evolution added 23M more to this already unbelievable performance! the 4 digits evolution is just a few M away!

The high score to beat in this award belong to the same manager, that accomplished 1265M Squad Evolution in the Qualifying Round (after applying the Group C coefficient: x0,9375)

Goal Frenzy

It will be awarded to the managers with more scored goals in the leagues with their teams!

@hangaboy from Cameroon added two more goals to his personal account, having now 43 Scored Goals! That's an average of 1,54 goals per match!

@MenagerBL from Serbia , with a final standing of 51 Scored Goals (after applying the Group C coefficient: x0,9375) has the lead in this award so far!

The Wall

It will be awarded to the managers with less conceded goals in the leagues with their teams!

@zenudin_m from Bosnia and Herzegovina is proving to be cold as ice, maintaining the 9 conceded goals a few rounds in a row now! I'm sure this manager will do anything to avoid any more conceded goals in the last 2 rounds!

@palasgiales from Panama , with 9 conceded goals (and only 2 defeats) in NC2021 Qualifying Round, looks like he won't be dethroned!

Most Valuable Player

It will be awarded to the managers that score the most points for their National Teams!!

@Hispán16 from Hungary with 256 points conquered for the Team, is just two rounds away to be crowned the MVP of this Tournament's Final, at least!

@davidaguila76 from Spain , with a final score of 275 points (after applying the Group C coefficient: x0,9375), is still on the lead, but... will these two final rounds bring some change here?!

Nation of the Day

Serbia is currently in the 8th place on this Nations Cup 2021 Final's Leaderboard , with 486 points!

Pointed out by the Predictions as one of the favourites to win this NC2021 Final, Serbia is currently in the 8th place, already 143 points away from the 1st place. But I'm quite certain that these folks will do their best to improve their score to the best possible yet! @Alexandar-Blumenshtil is this Team's MVP so far, with a performance of 203 points (14 wins, 7 draws and 7 defeats, 28 scored goals and 16 conceded), representing alone 42% of the team's total (486 points). One more manager stands out in this lineup: @MenagerBL with a 34% contribution (167 points) for the team's score.

Bellow you can see Serbia's chart from round 12 (they were in the 4th place then, with 235 points:

My day's work ends here, folks! Time to get back to NC's Tower... a bubble bath with a glass of Pure Malt on the side, and a background of classical music is waiting for me! I need to relax a bit, as this Final's outcome is killing me! Cheers!

Our guest for todays edition of Nations Diary is @hashim-mohamed-club , Libya's National Team Coach.

Q: By creating the Nations Cup, our main goal is to empower the culture of national OSM teams. What kind of action do you think should be done on every national community, in order to achieve this goal? What can you tell us about the history of your national team?
Such tournaments make the game fun and should continue throughout the year.
The Libyan team was created four years ago, it is still developing and we participated in many Arab and international championships previously

Q: From several competitions in OSM, which of them have you noticed? When you build your shortlist, what is more important in the manager: band building or tactical knowledge?
(NC) The tournament is fun, the organization is beautiful and more than wonderful.
Tactical force is nothing without a strong team and vice versa
Q: How important is it to develop a player as part of a crew? Does the player have to be part of a crew to be called into your national team's draft?
No, it doesn't matter if he's in one of the crews if his performance is strong and familiar to us, especially in individual national championships.

Q: For future editions of the Nations Cup, can you tell us what kind of improvements you want to make, in order to improve the overall quality of the championships and help them achieve the ultimate goal of being one of the reference competitions in the world of national OSM teams?
Everything's as good as it is.

In Nations Diary, we received all the National coaches and also the coaches who stood out during the competition. Creating an interaction between all those present in the tournament. Today we are going to do something different! Let's interview, those who were behind the scenes, and who were crucial to carry out this project! And we start, with one of the staff members, who launched the first idea that would result in this competition. Please give a warm welcome to @FeelStrikeX

Q : How did the idea of ​​the Nations Cup started?
A : The idea of ​​the Nations Cup was born in October 2020 but the intention to hold a tournament had been going on since the end of the forum battles was made official and we all realized that there would be no going back and it was really important to return to the national team competitions as soon as possible, because it was a tremendous shock in the community that was disoriented without knowing how to move forward, because the fact is that the players, the great players like to face each other and prove their worth to the rest of the community, this being the reason that everyone loved the forum battles.
However, the end also brought the theoretical end of the teams that were and are still in the process of development. You could be eliminated with the end of the forum battles because at their peak and that everyone recognized them as the maximum that any player can achieve and that he must fight for. to be able to get there.
Me being part of the technical team of the Portuguese team with the coach Pedro Querido in order to combat a possible end of the teams came up the idea to do something new that in the future together with Apocalipse4 (Paulo) Moltensky (Luís) and nelson6112 (Nelson) can follow the path that I think everyone saw in the forum.
Q : What made you join the idea of ​​producing a national team tournament?
A : The fact of making me join was, above all, wanting to change and adapt the new reality of the game to the world of the national teams, being that with the companions who started the project and those who joined later it was an extra factor.
Q : What was the biggest difficulty in organizing the Tournament?
A : The biggest difficulty with the Nations Cup was the fact that it initially seemed that we had no support as there was a lot to combine to please the largest number of National coaches looking for a competitive tournament and OSM staffs looking for active user intervention on the topic and not to be just another topic, to fill the 2 things it was necessary it was very difficult time for us as organizers.
Q : During the tournament, what difficulties arose and what solutions were found to solve them?
A : During the tournament the biggest difficulty initially was the fact that there was a lot of disorganized idea that was very confused in the first days after opening the topic.
After that, it was logically to have the interviews of all the interviewees.
Eventually, after a few days after the official start of the tournament, it was my short time because it was in the most difficult phase of the semester that I ended up leading the rest of the organizers to have had extra work, which I know caused a headache in so much, although have tried to give them the best support they could even though it was very, very weak help. I believe that afterwards I got better near the end that I could do anything else.
Among the problems that arose from the tournament, the solutions were usually easy to solve and there was nothing extraordinary.
Without being the biggest problem that turned out to be my lack of time, which I think was the biggest headache of all, there was nothing special.
Q : What did you think of the experience of producing a tournament that had so much adherence?
A : I took more advantage of the final stage, about the experience I can say that it was not normal because the organizers were focused on a simple thing in the success of the competition and we are still in the success in the future to achieve even greater adherence because we believe that in the near future there is control bigger and better in the world of OSM teams and we want to be the tournament that will answer the thirst to win, so we work with the objective of improving and bringing the best possible material to the teams. This experience has shown that there is a lot of desire from the national teams that want to grow and improve the competitive scenario to determine who is the country with the best quality of play.
Q : In your initial preliminary forecast were this 16 teams in the Nations Cup final?
A : Honestly, there weren't many teams that surprised me by the fact that they reached the final, the fact that even Portugal didn't reach the final was disheartening because I was sure that Portugal could have made the final and who knows how to fight for one of the top 3 places in the NC, however I was happy for some teams such as the Ukrainian team and the Cameroon team that were surprised because of the teams that entered are the youngest teams, which shows that this competitive branch is growing and that it will be talked about all over the OSM community.

Thank you Joaquim, for this magnific interview! In which you make known to the community, all the work developed, by the staff of the Nations Cup, to provide the best possible experience to all participants. None of this would have been possible, without your involvement, your resilience and belief that we would be able to organize a competition of this magnitude! We continue to count on you, for the next projects, that we want to organize, and I believe that the community is grateful for your participation!

Your Feedback is very important to us!

@M-Vaswani

Q. Congratulations on winning the Nations Cup 2021! Were you expecting to win? What does this title mean to you?
Thank you for organizing such a beautiful tournament. I have never seen such tremendous dedication in not only updating the results, but also engaging the community. Thank you Apocalipse4 and the rest of the organizing team. I would also thank our Captain Paniyath for giving me the chance to represent India in the prelims and in the finals. This has been a tiring month to be honest. So the amount of effort put in only makes the victory sweeter. And credit to the organizing team for hosting it this way, it only shows how important the tournament is.
I personally wasn’t expecting to win until we hit Matchweek 20 and were at the top. Until then, I was trying to just do my best and see where it took us. Credit to the team here, Paniyath for his leadership and obviously his performance. Kashaf-sanchez for being the x-factor for us, Mubashir22222 for doing a solid job with the G13 team, and Tony Alvera and Shaibaz for their gritty performances in the prelims.

Q. Did you prepare a special strategy for the final? What were the guidelines?
Strategy was to win as many games as we could haha. We did try to factor in the sleep schedule of our team after the drawing countries for the 4 leagues were announced, along with which goal best suits which manager.
Post that most of our strategy improvisation though, maximizing yield with what we had on any given matchday.

Q. Who was the most difficult opponent? Why?
Among the countries, obviously Spain, Croatia and Belgium, because they were in it right until the end. As far as individuals, I think all were great, and even till the last day, I was never sure if I was going to beat them going into the game. But while I don’t know many or haven’t played them enough before, I would give a shout out to hangaboy for his attacking brand of football that he played in my league.

Q. Please define in one word, all the managers that played for Índia in the two rounds.
Paniyath – Visionary
Kashaf – Genius
Mubashir – Nifty
Shaibaz – Fearless
Tony Alvera – Inventive

Q. What would you change, in this competition, for the next edition?
a. Sim Timings – Either a common sim time for all Leagues, one that suits all nations. This could be done if the organizing team sets up the league and resigns soon as they can. That would mean 1 CPU team per league. Alternatively – different Sim timings for all 4 leagues with “Region Advantage”. Europe and Africa get 1 preferred slot, Far east gets 1, South and Middle East Asia gets 1 and Americas get 1. Maybe something could be thought around this?
b. Secret Trainings – While everyone has 6 to use, some teams face more STs than the rest. Maybe this should be done away with.
c. Scoring – Greater emphasis to achieving goal, slightly lower emphasis to GD.
d. Match of the Day – 1 big game can be analysed each day, right from the build-up and predictions, to the results and performances.

Q. Will you step forward, to defend the title, in Nations Cup 2022? Even if the format change?
I am certain India would defend the title. But as far as individuals are concerned, it would come down to the best 6 of us. We do have a decent bench strength, so whoever is best suited to defend the title, will be representing us.

@mubashir22222

Q. Congratulations on winning the Nations Cup 2021! Were you expecting to win? What does this title mean to you?
Thank you for the appreciation!! This is the biggest Tournament we have won as a Nation. When I was called for the final I had a feeling we will win since this is the 3rd final we won back to back starting with AFC Asia Cup and AWC 2020. It surely means a lot to us as a Nation moving forward and to motivate others to play this beautiful game.

Q. Did you prepare a special strategy for the final? What were the guidelines?**
Vishnu (Paniyath) is one of the best captains out there and trust me I have played with quite a few strong ones including Jeff from Idas crew but he stands above all. He does his homework and makes things easy for us. Including all the possible scenarios. It's a pleasure to play under his guidance. India is a strong Nation we just need more leaders like him.

Q. Who was the most difficult opponent? Why?
Hispàn16 I feel he chopped and changed nicely.

Q. Please define in one word, all the managers that played for Índia in the two rounds.
Believe.

Q. What would you change, in this competition, for the next edition?
I wouldn't change much I like the idea of no TCs and allowing the maximum use of STs. They say that when you are winning don't change much.

Q. Will you step forward, to defend the title, in Nations Cup 2022? Even if the format change?
Definitely. "In it to win it".

@Shaibaz-Alonso

Q. Congratulations on winning the Nations Cup 2021! Were you expecting to win? What does this title mean to you?
This is 3rd trophy for our country and it is a big achievement for us as we add another silverware to our collection.

Q. Did you prepare a special strategy for the final? What were the guidelines?
We all kept believing in each other and never gave up. We played every game like it was a knockout for us and that helped us in doing better and better after every game. All thanks to Paniyath for putting us together from last 5 years and getting the best Indian managers as well as always motivating us for every game. If you have a good leader who believes in you than you have half battles and there is huge confidence to win this or any tournament.

Q. Who was the most difficult opponent? Why?
I thought Spain will be a difficult opponent and they were in title race from day one but they slowed down towards the end but that doesn't matter as the pressure was always on us from other teams too.

Q. Please define in one word, all the managers that played for Índia in the two rounds.
Hardworking

Q. What would you change, in this competition, for the next edition?
Maybe better teams to face as it was one sided in finals.. Haha just kidding Umm I wish we had early sim timings or a timing which suits all countries as late sim doesn't suit many asian countries.

Q. Will you step forward, to defend the title, in Nations Cup 2022? Even if the format change?
We are world class managers and we play less OSM but we have more than 10yrs of experience in OSM and when it comes to playing for our country, we are always ready to face anyone at any tournament because that is how has been our mentality always.. above all YNWA is what i wanna say to all my Indian brothers whoever plays osm.. we won it for you all..️

@Kashaf-sanchez

Q. Congratulations on winning the Nations Cup 2021! Were you expecting to win? What does this title mean to you?
Thanks,I wasn’t expecting it honestly as it is my first time representing India on such a big stage. It means the world to us honestly we worked hard for it and deserve it

Q. Did you prepare a special strategy for the final? What were the guidelines?
We have certain strategies against some big name managers as our captain knew about them. Guidelines regarding their formation and what they have achieved in the past was told to me that really helped me a lot.

Q. Who was the most difficult opponent? Why?
foulardinho and oguzhan3407 were my most difficult opponents. As I couldn’t beat them over the two rounds.

Q. Please define in one word, all the managers that played for Índia in the two rounds.
They are experienced managers playing the game for over 8-9 years and have represented india in the past so in one word I would say “ Conquerors “

Q. What would you change, in this competition, for the next edition?
I would just change the sim timings as it is very difficult for us to be awake at night for the sims and other managers take advantage of it.

Q. Will you step forward, to defend the title, in Nations Cup 2022? Even if the format change?
Surely i am definitely up for the challenge again next year.

@Tony-Alvera

Q. Congratulations on winning the Nations Cup 2021! Were you expecting to win? What does this title mean to you?
My feelings right now, I must say I'm thrilled. It was quite a difficult run faced some very good managers both in the qualifications and the finals. Really proud of what we have achieved.
Were we expecting to win? Well, we had some really good managers on the squad, who are very capable. We also had really good run in the AWC cup last year. So we always knew we had a chance.

Q. Did you prepare a special strategy for the final? What were the guidelines?
I wouldn't say we had any special strategies. Our plan was to do the basics right, build well and play our game. We would discuss tactics if any of us hit a roadblock.

Q. Who was the most difficult opponent? Why?
I faced some really good managers in my league. But the trickiest opponent (no pun ) I faced was my fellow crew mate trickeymaster. He won the league I was in and did an amazing job. It was a shame his team couldn't go through to the next round. His performance was outstanding.

Q. Please define in one word, all the managers that played for Índia in the two rounds.
Resolute. Our goal was always to give it our best shot and never give in. Also, cheers to our skipper Paniyath for putting together such a squad. I know he has put in a lot of effort for this over the last couple of years.

Q. What would you change, in this competition, for the next edition?
This format was quite refreshing. Regarding what I'd change, maybe get rid of the rule for 2 manager swap in-between rounds? And maybe even the 2 managers per crew limit? Guess I'm being a little bit selfish there But I guess these rules have made the tournament more interesting.

Q. Will you step forward, to defend the title, in Nations Cup 2022? Even if the format change?
Absolutely. Whatever the format maybe, we will step up to defend the title. We will be looking forward to it.

@Paniyath

Q. Congratulations on winning the Nations Cup 2021! Were you expecting to win? What does this title mean to you?
Thank you and to be honest I didn’t expect us to put up a performance like that against some really good teams especially after how the qualifying round went for us and just edging 6th place from our group but all credit to my teammates they made it possible and they wanted it more. The belief came when we kept pressure on Spain since day one and never slowed down and after 15 rounds we knew this was possible and that motivated us to go all the way.
The title means a lot this is definitely the biggest trophy my country has won based on difficulty of opponents, being consistent in a 30 round league season, etc so I am more than happy to see us compete against some greatest nations in OSM. It is our dream to put India on the map as in the game we don’t have many well known managers competing at the highest level or have a community in the forum to share with our people so it feels great to be part of a golden period in our OSM history.

Q. Did you prepare a special strategy for the final? What were the guidelines?
There was no special strategy but to just believe in yourself. Everyone were allowed to build and play what they felt will get us as much wins as possible in the league and we will always communicate daily when each match came along and worked our way to beat opponents. Communication is key and for a format which I feel is quite individualized compared to forum battles we find ways to communicate more and make it enjoyable as a team game should. It’s all about enjoying the journey

Q. Who was the most difficult opponent? Why?
Every game was difficult in my league even if they were struggling at the bottom it was always a difficult match and anyone could take points from each other. But if I have to say which were my most difficult matches I would say against arteromero and maskedandy_1, struggled to beat them over the two legs.

Q. Please define in one word, all the managers that played for Índia in the two rounds.
Warriors

Q. What would you change, in this competition, for the next edition?
I gave my feedback and suggestions on this in the topic but in brief would like to see crew rule change to a limit of allowing at least 3 from the same crew, maybe could do away with swapping managers between rounds to benefit teams who got smaller squads, I would like to see immediate sales allowed and Secret Training turned off. And of course regarding the scoring system some minor changes to the calculation system like giving more points for achieving goal and above goal bonuses compared to GD.

Q. Will you step forward, to defend the title, in Nations Cup 2022? Even if the format change?
Even if the format changes we will be ready. Adapting in any given situation is key, and of course a year is a lot when you consider team development but we will of course give everything to try to defend the title again.
Thanks once again for organising tournaments like this and bringing back national teams together. Hopefully we see more tournaments like this from your team in the future haha

We wish to thank all these 6 magnificent Managers for the fast reply to our questions! It's a pleasure to have your feedback in the moments right after accomplishing this enormous achievement for your National Team! Go Tigers!

And now... The NC Staff has a surprise for India! Check it out!

This ends our 96th edition of Nations Diary! Come back tomorrow, for more info about this Tournament!

Thank you, stay safe and enjoy life!

In today's edition of Nations Diary, we'll continue with the NC Staff Interviews, and the next in line is @Apocalipse4 !

Q : How did the idea of ​​the Nations Cup started?
Well all of us, we had a deep disappointment with the end of the forum battles. I confess, that I even told @FeelStrikeX that I was going to abandon the game, because I didn't feel the same emotion, from the times of the forum battles. I had already resigned myself to this idea when he launched the idea of ​​organizing a tournament for National teams. It was October 2020, and at that time I was participating with my crew at ISC in an excellent tournament organized by the Red Skulls, and by my friend Germán ( @Profezor ). And with the inspiration of this format and also of the CC, organized with great mastery by @Maris-14 @woopertje and @Davemx1984, the idea started to take shape.
And Joaquim and I both felt that it could be a good way to bring back the great competitions of National teams, so that was the wish of the countries. Fortunately, our idea was well received by the first National coaches, whom we contacted, still without the project fully defined. And it was from there that we believed that the idea had the strength to become a reality. Meanwhile, the team grew, with the entry of Luis (@Moltensky) and Nelson (@ nelson6111), and the details that needed to be realized were quickly defined. On 01/20 we received the authorization to open the topic in the Crews forum, and from there everything went according to what we were planning, and the Nations Cup was born!

Q : What made you join the idea of ​​producing a national team tournament?
Well for me, this decision is related, not only to the challenge that was thrown at me by @FeelStrikeX, but also to the pride I have for my country, and the honor that I had to represent him at OSM, when I went international for the first time, by the hand of @pedroquerido14 and the national technical commission that accompanied him. There was always this "debt" to the National team, in the period after the end of the forum battles, and also to the community in general, because we were all deprived of these types of competitions. After the first reaction to Joaquim's idea, that a competition with these characteristics would not be viable, my involvement ended up being natural in this project that came to fill a void that existed in the OSM universe.

Q : What was the biggest difficulty in organizing the Tournament?
When we started to align ideas, to organize this tournament, there was a certain skepticism, manifested particularly in the true willingness of nations to participate. This doubt began to fade, as we were receiving the support of the countries. After this phase of anxiety, a phase of euphoria followed, especially when @King_Jamiu_10 authorized the creation of the topic in the Crews forum. And I entered with my left foot, in that first instant, when making the opening post, with a singular phrase: "Welcome to the home of the National teams", when I was supposed to have made the opening post, with the explanation of the format and regulation of the competition! It should be said that only Luis and Nelson, had experience in organizing competitions, at the national level, so for them it was also a debut at an international level, but Joaquim and I were the team's rookies! Basically, I think that the biggest difficulty we had was to be able to reconcile our involvement in this large-scale project with our personal and professional lives. There was a great sacrifice, from everyone on different occasions, to respond to the challenges that were placed on us.

Q : During the tournament, what difficulties arose and what solutions were found to solve them?
The biggest challenge we were faced with, in addition to the fact that we have to manage a competition with 43 National teams divided into 3 groups and 12 leagues, was the commitment we made to the official OSM staff, to have a topic about the competition, that in addition to respecting all the common terms of use for this type of platform, which was dynamic and interesting. And with the enthusiasm that was growing, within the team, motivated by the feedback that we were receiving from the community, but particularly from the countries that had already committed to the project, we realized that we were doing something different, we were publishing content daily, that they had been originally thought, to be published every 2 days or every 3 days, which was normal, in the competitions in which we had participated or accompanied. It is necessary to say, that the model that we idealized for the production of contents, was only possible through the collaboration of all the National coaches and the coaches who represented their countries. Among other small setbacks, which were happening, such as on the eve of the qualifying group draw, we learned that 4 of the registered teams would not participate in the competition because they had not sent the line-ups, we were able to find solutions that were fair to everyone. This has always been our concern, and will continue to be in the projects that we will carry out in the future. Another problem, which ended up also having a detrimental effect on a group of nations, was the issue of time zones. We studied the various possible solutions, before presenting them, and although we tried to rebalance the disadvantage that some countries had, unfortunately it was a problem that we were unable to fully solve, because the simulations of the games, do not depend only on the time of creation of the leagues. Anyway, with more or less difficulty, the team always knew how to react, to spontaneous events, such as abandoning the leagues, and being proactive in planning the different scenarios that we would have to prepare.

Q : What did you think of the experience of producing a tournament that had so much adherence?
I am very proud of this team that has been through a lot, and that fulfilled this dream of recovering the space of the National teams, creating a brand that is the symbol of the union of the OSM communities. I feel an enormous joy, for the affection and respect, that the community in general, and the National teams in particular, have shown for the work that we did, and for the unconditional support that they showed since the first time they got to know the project. I also feel an enormous confidence in the future, for the recognition and support given to us by the official structure of the OSM, expressed by @SpecialOne.

Q : In your initial preliminary forecast were this 16 teams in the Nations Cup final?
Here I will answer, as a fellow countryman did: "Tips only at the end of the game!"
Jokes apart, this competition was designed, to be very competitive, and unpredictable. We knew that the regulations that were created, and the tournament format itself, would be conducive to "surprises" and we tried to ensure that all the teams that participated had equal opportunities to shine. And we are very pleased, for the emotion and unpredictability that the competition provided.

We continue to work on a new project, which we hope to present to the community soon. And which may debut later this year, pay attention to the topic of the Nations Cup!

Today we will present, the interviews, with the magnificent winners of the individual awards, and get to know a little more about these fantastic coaches!

Most Valuable Player @davidaguila76 from Spain !

Unfortunately David was unavailable, so @Jojiste-2a answered the interview in his behalf.
Q : Congratulations for having the best Manager in the Nations Cup 2021 “Most Valuable Player” Award in your Team! What are your thoughts on the performance of davidaguila76?
A : The truth is that having a manager of this quality is impressive .. David is classified as one of the best managers in this game and in this tournament he has shown it ... We knew that having him was having more than 200 safe points or practically safe because the commitment, the dedication and the sacrifice that he puts on it is to be admired.
Q : What kind of support, as National Team Coach, do you give to your Team members for their squad planning during a OSM league? What is more important for you: the squad building or the tactical systems?
A : Regarding the first question, I understand that a coach or in this case a coach has to give everything even if he does not play in that league, all kinds of information and especially moral support when things go wrong and and when things go well celebrate With a head to this I mean that you have to always put your feet on the ground.
And the second OSM question has changed in my opinion ... before, I think value was more important, but now the tactical system is much more important.
Q : Regarding the latest updates in OSM, in particular the new players positions feature, and the random sales simulations timers, what do you think about them?
A : It seems like a good update because I think we depended a bit on being able to put players in a natural position ... but I think that certain things could still be improved because the positions they have given us are scarce or there are few players in some positions. And the direct sales system, well, I think it's fine, although sometimes it's a bit of a disadvantage. Before, you had to put up with an injured player for both good and bad and now you can sell it quickly.
Q : For future editions of Nations Cup, can you tell us what sort of improvements you would like to see implemented, in order to improve the Tournaments overall quality, and help it achieve the ultimate goal of being one of the reference competitions in the OSM National Teams universe?
A : It seemed to me a very complete system and format, especially with some great organizers ... It has practically no lack of detail ... possible aspects to improve, maybe another round, that is, a quarter-final and maybe the possibility of changing some more player so that the ones who play are not always the same ...

Thank @Jojiste-2a for this great interview, on behalf of @davidaguila76

Goal Frenzy @MenagerBL from Serbia !

Q : Congratulations for being the best Manager in the Nations Cup 2021 “Goal Frenzy” Award! What are your thoughts on your performance?
A : Thanks! I’m happy with my performance. In the semi-finals I won the league and scored most goals in all the tournament. In the Final I finished 3rd...needed 1 more goal to end up 2nd. My opponents were closed in 21 match out of 30 matches. In 90% of the matches they used 541/532/5311/631 so even I’m suprised I managed to score most goals in the league. All in all, I think I played a solid tournament...
Q : What kind of tactical approaches are your favourite so you can achieve such high goal scoring levels with your teams?
A : I like attacking styles. At home I use 433 most of the time. Away I play different tactics and formations. To score a lot of goals you need to have some luck too of course...
Q : Regarding the latest updates in OSM, in particular the new players positions feature, and the random sales simulations timers, what do you think about them?
A : I don’t like the random transfer simulations at all. In the past I needed 10 mins per day for transfers. I come, do what I have to do in 1 min and I’m free for the next 2 hours. Then after 2 hours I spend 1 min again and so on...now it’s different...I had to turn on notifications to follow transfer simulations. Per day I get at least 5/6 messages, 5/6 invites for leagues, curently I’m playing 3 tournaments and people play 15 friendlies against me per day...other send me offers for players etc. I get 50 notifications per day and only few of them are about transfers. It’s very annoying! But it is what it is...
Players positions is a cool feature in my opinion, but some things need to be changed. There is a big lack of positions, I speak about LM & RM. These 2 positions are needed for 451/4231 and these 2 formations are probably most used formations in OSM, so I think that’s a big problem.
Q : For future editions of Nations Cup, can you tell us what sort of improvements you would like to see implemented, in order to improve the Tournaments overall quality, and help it achieve the ultimate goal of being one of the reference competitions in the OSM National Teams universe?
A : I wrote about that few times already. First, I would re-work the poinst calculation system. Think a lot more attention should be paid to team goals. In one of most popular tournaments, CCW, it’s all about team goals, if you are above or under goal. Here in NC team goals are completely irrelevant. Strange...
Also, I would remove secret trainings and allow friendly matches. And that’s it.
Thanks for the award and for the great organization!
Hope to see you next time!

Thank you @MenagerBL for this fantastic interview!

Extreme Evolution @arteromero from Spain !

Q : Congratulations for being the best Manager in the Nations Cup 2021 “Extreme Evolution” Award! What are your thoughts on your performance?
A : It is always nice to win an individual award but I would have changed it to be higher with my team. Awards are always a recognition of good work and effort, which motivate you to continue improving.
Q : What is your approach when you are evolving your squads in OSM leagues?
A : Every league, every team, every goal requires a different approach. You have to be clear about which players in that short or long league are going to be better for you and if you can't get them because they are faster than me with the scout, you must have a plan B and C. Browse, be aware of sales hours , training, and being patient in buying and selling will always lead you to build a powerful team.
Q : Regarding the latest updates in OSM, in particular the new players positions feature, and the random sales simulations timers, what do you think about them?
A : I think that every time they make it more difficult. The truth is I don't see much difference when you put a player in his position than when you don't.
I don't like random sales since you have to be careful to buy from the first ones. Before you could organize yourself and have a routine to be attentive to all the more sales, now it is impossible.
In short, I don't like the last two updates.
Q : For future editions of Nations Cup, can you tell us what sort of improvements you would like to see implemented, in order to improve the Tournaments overall quality, and help it achieve the ultimate goal of being one of the reference competitions in the OSM National Teams universe?
A : The tournament has been very well organized, structured and fun. Maybe shorter leagues with more rounds for my liking. I would also not allow secret training, since the one who suffers 15 of them per league starts with a disadvantage, someone who only suffers 1 or 2. In short, a good tournament that I would repeat if they gave me another chance. Congratulations to all the organizers and to India for that great championship

Thank you @arteromero for this brillant interview!

The Wall @palasgiales from Panama !

Q : Congratulations for being the best Manager in the Nations Cup 2021 “The Wall” Award! What are your thoughts on your performance?
A : First of all, I never thought that I would take this individual trophy with such a level in the tournament. He was somewhat frustrated by many draws then he began to win many important matches and I was even more motivated by those good results that he was obtaining in the tournament.
Q : What kind of tactical approaches are your favourite so you can achieve such defensive consistency with your teams?
A : Play very defensively and know what mentality to use depending on the color of the referee in each game.
Q : Regarding the latest updates in OSM, in particular the new players positions feature, and the random sales simulations timers, what do you think about them?
A : To be honest, I like that modality of the players' positions, it makes the game even more complex than it already is and it also makes the same game more attractive to continue playing. And with regard to random sales, I don't like it because there are times when one deals with work issues and others and because of that situation you can lose a sales shift and it can get complicated at the time of your assembly of your team . Some player can escape you for that random sale and it is the complicated thing and that is a very big detail that can cost you a lot.
Q : For future editions of Nations Cup, can you tell us what sort of improvements you would like to see implemented, in order to improve the Tournaments overall quality, and help it achieve the ultimate goal of being one of the reference competitions in the OSM National Teams universe?
A : The truth is, I would like there to be a greater participation of managers from each nation, instead of being 4, there are 6 or 7 so that others can also have an opportunity to participate. Also that more nations participate so that it is more competitive than it already is. That you get more individual trophies so that you get more motivated to achieve those goals. Sincerely, I am proud to obtain the title of "the wall" being Panamanian and making known that in Panama there is a good level and that we are growing to be one of the best nations in the OSM game. Thanks and regards.
Thanks you for the interview

Thank you @palasgiales for this enthusiastic interview! ️

With coaches of this quality and availability, we are very lucky to see your performances! We take this opportunity to thank all the coaches, who were kind enough to access our interviews, and who thus also contributed to enrich the quality of the content we publish in this topic. Thank you all!

Tonight, in Nations Diary, we have a special guest, he is responsible for one of the most important communities, in the OSM universe, please give a warm welcome to @jorgebusty7 Community Manager from Spain

Q : Who is jorgebusty7 in the OSM as a manager? And what is the function / functions of a CM?
A : My account was created in 2012, so I have been playing OSM for many years. I discovered the forum at the end of the same year and since then I am addicted to OSM because "Crew World" and competitions. I joined the crew FURIA in 2014 (of which I am also the current moderator) and will continue until I stop playing. I have been part of the ES community management team for many years. My functions as CM are to organize the management team that I have in charge (ES Moderators/Staffs), contribute to the development of the ES Community, resolve user doubts, check cheat reports and receive user feedback and share it with GB, as well as sharing GB news with users.
Q : Do you agree with the competitive model used in Nations Cup? Which improvements, would you like see implemented? What is the importance / impact of a competition like the Nations Cup in your community?
A : First I wanted to congratulate the organizers of this first edition of the Nations Cup, you have done a stunning work. As of today, there are quite a few limitations for crew/nation competitions, so there aren't many ways to change the format. I think the number of nations that play the final can be reduced.

ES Community is one of the most developed in terms of competitions, there are many that are organized each year and there are all formats. Competitions are a fundamental part of my community, it keeps users playing OSM over the years.
Q : Do you think, that Nations Cup, was well advertised in your community? If not, what can be done to accomplish it?
A : Sure, in the ES Community the nations are supervised by the management team, once all the necessary information about a competition is obtained and the approval is given, all the selectors are informed so that they can register.
Q : What can be done by the community, to increase the activity in the forum?
A : I think we cannot ignore the reality in which we live, where instant social networks have all the control of communication between people. The forums have lost relevance compared to 5 years ago, but they are still very active. To increase the activity of the forums, the best way is to give users the opportunity to play different competitions and events, but other ways are to propose discussion topics, ideas for improvement, feedback on new OSM features, interviews with managers/crews/nations... etc
Q : The National teams competitions, help the community in their devolpment? Why?
A : Of course, the nations are the creation of the users themselves in an attempt to expand the community and seek new opportunities to play and enjoy OSM. They contribute to the development and growth of the community, as well as to keep users playing.

This is awesome! Having the best managers, the best National teams and the best CM of the game! Wonderful! Thank you @jorgebusty7 for this enligtning interview!

The 98th edition of Nations Diary is over! And the countdown for the 100th edition continues! Stay tuned, we have a big surprise awaiting!

And before you go, relax with India´s victory hymn!

Thank you, stay safe and enjoy life!
