Let me clarify that.

Canada Day was a day before England faced Canada in the Consolation Tourney but that didn't light a fire under their bellies, maybe because Coach Zmtomako told them to Take It Easy.
Canada lost the game to England 107-100 despite having Home Court Advantage. Zmtomako also chose to go Motion and Man to Man for what seemed like the thousandth time in a row. Canada are now barely hanging for life, they are ranking 28th out of the 32 teams that are available to qualify in the tournament.
Naismith Coaches: RiP, GM-beanerz and Beener took to the NT Team Forum Page to criticize Zmtomako's tactical choices, putting Kev Fairchild on the National Team to increase merchandise for his team, not including some of Canada's best players on the team etc. Beener even went as far as endorsing Beanerz for the NT Manager next season.
Zmtomako will get another chance to right his wrongs against Vietnam on Monday in Canada. Canada are favorites to win that game and everyone is hoping Zmtomako and the team doesn't blow it.

Depth and diverse styles are two key ingredients that make up a successful newspaper.
We would all get bored reading the same person every week. This is why I have convinced Kumiko to write reports for the team sporadically, not every week but once in a while.
Kumiko is a workhorse and most of you have probably seen his work for the Canada Tournament forum, so it's great to have him onboard.
I hope this change brings better coverage and reader-friendliness of this forum.

>>>Hello,
>>>I'm trying to pitch you a deal. You can take it or leave it, it's okay. I was wondering if you would help me with the newspaper by writing a report once a week, I'm looking to add more depth to the reporting. I've also seen your work for the Canada Tournament which showed dedication so I was hoping if you would help me.
>>> Like I said, it's your choice to take or leave it.

>> Maybe. Have to see if I have time to invest in it.

> Okay. Get back to me when you make up your mind.

Can you look up the word "maybe" in the dictionary for me?

If your diverse style includes lying (you have far from *convinced* me to do anything) and incorrect information (NT record before last game + I am not male), you might need to find someone else for your newspaper.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

I looked up maybe in the dictionary and it meant possibly, so technically you did agree to help. You also said you would contribute if you had time to invest and that's why I said you would contribute sporadically. The BB-Mail you pasted is proof of my side of the story.It's like they say, 'There is always two sides to a story.'

Sorry but you clearly missed her point here. She said 'maybe' when you asked her to write reports and then you went out and wrote that you had 'convinced' her to write reports for you. That's where the disconnect takes place my friend because those 2 things are clearly not one and the same.

Since you were asking her for a favour, instead of digging yourself deeper as you did with your reply, I would have instead simply apologize to her for your mistake.

I think it would be morally right to apologize for mistaking you for a guy, so I guess I'm sorry about that.
It also seems like I misread your message too so, I'm sorry about that. Man, this is hard.
Is my apology accepted?

One word defines the Vietnam National Team: beatable. Vietnam is currently 0-6 in the Consolation Tournament being the 82nd team in the 86 team tournament. They are a good team from the inside with their biggest threats with 14 of 18 Nguyens on their team.
Canada are still 4-2, reeling after their 107-100 upset to the English National Team. Canada is 28th in the tournament. Pressure has already being put on Coach Zmtomako before this game tomorrow after the loss and many feel like Zmtomako is on his way out after being highly criticised by a trio of Naismith Coaches: Beener, RiP and GM-beanerz and he has said he won't be applying for coach next game. It's a completely different story for the NT than it is for the U-21 team led by Mod-Bballin who are 7-0.
Canada are a long shot from winning the Consolation Tournament with two games left in the tournament but Zmtomako is still committed to developing young coaches looking to be NT Coaches in the future and that is why he has decided to let any coach who wishes to send him their tactical choices for the next two games so send him a BB-Mail if you wish to help.

I've being thinking about bringing back the Opinions editorial as it helped with the early success of this newspaper, so I'll be bringing it back once every two weeks and I hope that will be enough.
