What are you going to do about the fact that England is now only 3 spots behind you in the world rankings? The Canadian people should be outraged!

:P Just kidding, great job so far and hope you go far in the tournament(can't decide to cheer for you or the US...)

Correct me if I'm wrong but I addressed most of your complaints in the article.
Why was this a winnable game? Because Canada is ranked ahead of Switzerland and has beaten Switzerland before.
Why did the crazy NT Coach decide to run motion? How should I know, I'm not the NT Coach.
Contest background? Pretty sure my paragraph on Canadians staring at the scoreboard gave it away. Wasn't as close as we would have expected for a loss.
What factored into the loss? I said the transition from Look Inside to Motion which made our inside players like Maja and EAK pretty much useless.

All your complaints were in the article, mate.

Don't get me started on the national team rankings. We just finished beating Australia(who is ranked higher), on the road and we lost ranking points and they gained some. :( lol

I don't think it matters who you cheer for. Us beating USA... HA! That'd be surprising..

You Americans are a very daring group of people. What gives you the audacity to invade the Canadian forum? I'm just kidding. The U.S.A vs Canada game should be interesting. Shouldn't you be rooting for the United States? I mean you're from the US, be a good patriot of your nation. I certainly hope Canada pulls off a upset, if it happens. By the way, I'm on my way to invade the American forum.

This one time I was watching Canada U21 take on USAs U21 team and it was a close game. It was 94-90 with 15 seconds left and Canada hit a 3 to make it 94-93. Then Canada fouled USA and they missed one of the free throws and then finally with 1 second left Canadas center stepped outside the 3point line and drained another 3 ball to give Canada a 96-95 victory. Everyone in the gamechat was going wild and as the USA inbounded the ball and attempted a fullcourt prayer the buzzer went off and the prayer was not answered. The buzzer kept on going off though, over and over and over until I realized that buzzers don't ctually go off in buzzerbeater. So I woke up and hit the snooze button on my alarm.

The U.S.A vs Canada game should be interesting.


Im hoping that this game never needs to happen unless it is a final.

I'm thinking of making a new thread for the National Team News since the name of this thread sucks...obviously.
Let's see if we can toss around a few names for the new thread and start on a clean slate(since this thread started with some hostility).
Thanks.

Right now, I have a couple of dumb names: The Toronto Bongo, The Canadian Radian.

If you want to keep it here I can edit the title. I think it is appropriate that you and Z both agree on the name and then I will switch it.

Really? Zmtomako will be here to approve it, as always.
Right now, the toughest hurdle for everyone is the title of the forum.
We'll work something out, I guess.
Thanks.

With a new name comes a fresh start. David's Doses was a complete failure so I hope we get off to a better start and have better articles.
A good foundation is the key to everything in life. David's Doses had a shaky foundation fueled by feuds, insults and hostility and that was not the reason it was created, helping out the National Team and giving out game summaries and reports that will help the National Team Manager and other managers was the real reason it was established.
I hope we all drop our childish altercations and get off to a fresh start.
It is the end of an era. David's Doses is over, here comes National Team News by Olanipekun.
P.S: I would like to thank GM-beanerz for helping to change the title.
