After Round 3, @Jhonger-PG from Peru , with a 190M Squad Evolution is still on the lead.

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

@m-vaswani from India , with 7 scored goals in 3 rounds (average of 2,3 goals per round), is apparently slowing down, but we all know that once one gets started, its very difficult to stop it!

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

After 3 rounds played, there are still a lot of Managers with clean sheets. The defensive football is king here!

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

@Alexandar-Blumenshtil from Serbia , with 85 points scored for his National Team, is now the MVP! What a great performance of this G13!

I'm already analysing the National teams perfomances closely, and, in the next days, The Nation of the Day rubric will be back! Stay tuned!

Sir Hunchy, over and out!

Today we have the interview with Cameroon Captain, @otman347891 !

Q: Congratulations, once again, for qualifying into the final. What are your expectations for the last stage of the competition?
Thank you very much! Our goal will be to do the maximum we can, we have not set a goal except to give it all we've got.

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?
I think there are a lot of people playing OSM who ignore the existence of national teams which is a shame because there are some great players not playing for the national team simply because they don't know it. exists or because they have a nationality that we rarely see on OSM. The solution would be for each moderator to explain this on their community's forum. Also, let's not forget that not everyone goes to the OSM forum so we should also communicate via social networks. The more the years go by and the more, the number of national teams increases and it will continue.

The Cameroon national team was founded very recently, in December 2020. It was a project of the coach @hangaboy and it took a lot of work. We are happy that in such a short time the team has become formidable. I think this is all due a great job done by the coach and the nation's players.
Q3: We organize a lot of selection championships between us in order to train and train new talents for competitions. We encourage them to also register for the DF ("French speaking divisions") which is a good French competition to train and play against good coaches.
We are looking at the performance of players in Selection and DF Championships as well as other Crew competitions.

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?
The most important criterion for a player is

1. discipline
2. motivation
   3.tactical skills and buying and selling
   Cameroonian players all generally have these criteria.

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 don't think that it is obligatory, however to advance the players and to make them acquire experience, it is necessary but it is not a criterion which is taken into account enormously by the coach to make his lineup.

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 don't have any big suggestions since you are doing an incredible job, the only thing to do for the next editions would be to change the format as well as the leagues.

Q: Would your Nation be available to play Nations Cup U21? What should be the criteria for participation?
I don't know if we will be able to participate in a NC U21 because we do not have a lot of players since we have just been recently founded but if we have the possibility for that, yes why not.
The criteria would be not to have played for the first team even if it will be a little difficult to control.
thank you very much for the interview, you do a great job bravo to you. Respect!

Thank you so much, and, once again we would like to congratulate your initiative of organising a brand new Tournament for National Teams - New World Cup! It's almost in the end of Round 1! Well done!

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.

Please be welcome to answer our first opinion pool! We already have some inputs, and it looks great! Take a look!

And we're done! Tomorrow we'll be back with more news on this Final! Cheers!

Thank you, stay safe and enjoy life!

Hello my friends,

"There are three methods for gaining wisdom: first, by reflection, which is the most noble; second, by imitation, which is the easiest; and third, from experience, which is the most bitter." - Confucius

Let´s start, by looking at the Leaderboard, after the 4th round :

Well the leadership has changed again! Now Spain is in first place with 197 points, followed by India (169 points), and Serbia (161 points). France (93 points) and Turkey (88 points) climbed fast in the table, and are in the 5th and 6th position, Indonesia (141 points) did well also, and is now in 4th place. Finishing the top half of the table, we have Bosnia and Herzgovina (76 points) and Croatia (63 points). This will be a very close competition until the end, in every round we see changes, and every National team is fighting hard, for every point! Everything can happen, and that is the "magic" of Nations Cup!

Alexandar-Blumenshtil from Serbia with 96 points conquered for his National team, continues to push his teammates to the top of the Leaderboard! Awsome!

I know, you were expecting, the first report for Nation of the Day, but the data available, is not enough, to make a detailed assessment. Soon...
And that´s it folks! I´ll be back tomorrow, with the best managers performances, until then keep playing the beautiful game!

Tonight, in Nations Diary, we receive one of the "surprises" of the first phase, please give a warm welcome, to @Haidara-RM5 the National coach of Syria!

Q : Congratulations, once again, for qualifying into the final. What are your expectations for the last stage of the competition?

A : Thank you, my friend..My expectation is that the final will be very strong with the presence of the elite international teams participating .. I cannot certainly expect the final winner of the tournament..but I expect that the teams that came out of the first group will be strong candidates to compete for the title ...

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 : I think that the national teams should support this championship by allowing the elite coaches to participate in it .. in this way the competition is very strong and the other national teams that did not participate previously will be relieved to participate and give their best....The Syrian national team is a newly established team that includes the elite of Syrian coaches who are among the most important Arab teams .. We have the determination, determination and sportsmanship and are always ready to participate in all Arab and international competitions and are ready to present our best.

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 : Monitor Arab competitions in general .../ مسابقة المنطقي _ ARAB LEAGUE CUP _ Arab Professional champion/....Both are complementary to each other .. The most important thing for me is commitment and providing the most that a coach can do.

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 : Of course, the player must have sufficient experience within the game, whether it is participation in individual tournaments or crew tournaments .. He does not necessarily have to be a member of one of the crews in order to be on the national team list, but the coaches of the teams are more famous and experienced than the coaches who do not belong to the 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 hope that the competition will include more teams ... this in turn will lead to an increase in elimination rounds and an increase in matches and stages, leading to more enjoyment and strong competition ... Perhaps for the sake of encouragement, putting cash prizes or coins prizes that may make some players more eager to participate.

Q : Would your Nation be available to play Nations Cup U21? What should be the criteria for participation?

A : Of course . The Syrian team is ready to participate in all competitions..As for the selection criteria, the spirit of the youth will be taken into consideration in addition to the coach's ability to adhere to, his knowledge of good tactics and his constant follow-up to the transfer market.

Wonderful! This wise coach, with simplicity but determined, took his National team to the Nations Cup Final, where will they finish after this great achievement? Thank you very much @Haidara-RM5 for this interview, and good luck Syria! ️️

Already over? Yes i´m afraid so, but we will return tomorrow, with more news and updates, in yours Nations Diary!

Hello my friends,

"Fools multiply when the wise are silent." - Nelson Mandela

After the 5th round played, the Leaderboard is like this :

The podium didn´t change since last round, so Spain (228 points) stayed in the lead, India (189 points) is in 2nd place, and closing it is Serbia (181 points). In the second group, we had some changes, with Bosnia and Herzgovina (132 points), and Croatia (114 points) in 5th and 6th positions, swapped with Turkey (86 points) and France (71 points) now in 7th and 8th places. Indonesia (153 points) kept the 4th place. In the bottom half of the table, teams teams keep changing positions, except for Ukraine (-56 points), that hold the red lantern, the highlight goes to Peru (16 points) that climbed from 15th postion to 10th. This will be a constant fight, and tomorrow probably, new changes will happen, and we could have a new leader! What a fantastic Final with such enormous National teams!

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

Hi OSM lovers! Your OSM special advisor has returned! Hunchy in da house!
This final keeps really hot, with outstanding managers, performing better and better each day! Let´s see who´s leading the Nations Cup awards :

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

@Jhonger-PG from Peru with 225M of squad evolution, continues doing a smart buiding of his team! Cheers! 🤩

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

@Mickytuli from Spain with 9 scored goals, is the new king of the strikers! Bravo!

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

After 5 rounds played, there are still a lot of Managers with clean sheets. Fantastic defenses over here!

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

@Alexandar-Blumenshtil from Serbia , with 99 points achieved for his National team, fights for every point like it was the last one! Sensational dude!

And that´s it my beloved fans! Tomorrow i´ll be back, to track down the best individual performances in this Final! Until then, have fun with the beautiful game!

We are almost finishing, this cycle of interviews, with the National coaches that are playing the Final. Tonight, we receive in Nations Diary, another "outsider" in the first phase, that conquered his golden ticket, welcome @Stoyka-Ivan National coach of Ukraine , please give a strong applause to our guest!

Q : Congratulations, once again, for qualifying into the final. What are your expectations for the last stage of the competition?

A : Thank you very much for your congratulations. Probably everyone wants to win but we will set more realistic goals. If we are above the 10th position in the final, it will be a good result for us. But we will fight to the fullest.

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 : In my opinion, the tournament is well organized and would not change anything in the rules. A very interesting rule of delimitation by clan and replacement in the next round. I liked it. The only thing that would forbid is the purchase of Legends. The history of the Ukrainian national team began here at the Nations Cup.

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 most interesting competitions are national teams. It is always necessary to strengthen the team, but in such tournaments and especially in the finals it is very difficult to do so. In such cases, you can not do without good 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 : I believe that it is important for a manager to be in a clan and play in various tournaments or in high-level battles near the top 100. But of course I do not consider it mandatory.

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 you made this tournament as perfect as possible. The only thing is that all participants would probably like to play one on one with each team as in battles. But this requires special leagues where the Spaniards will not play against the British, for example.

Q : Would your Nation be available to play Nations Cup U21? What should be the criteria for participation?

A : I don't know whether Ukraine U-21 will take part in such a tournament. But as a coach I will be happy to lead it and not play for it as I believe that those who were declared for the national team could not play for U-21. Next, I think that the main rule could be that the manager has been playing the game for less than 5 years.

This is fabulous! Sponsor a National team's debut in the Nations Cup! We hope it will be the first of many competitions for Ukraine, with best wishes for the final and the next competitions in the future! Thank you @Stoyka-Ivan for this great interview and good luck Ukraine!

Don´t forget to return tomorrow, at the same time, to find out the news and updates, in yours Nations Diary!

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

Below, in can see how Managers are performing!

Extreme Evolution

@Jhonger-PG from is st Peru , with 229M squad evolution, is keeping on the right track! How long will his leadership last?!

Goal Frenzy

@hangaboy from Cameroon with 11 scored goals, is the new leader! After 6 rounds, this is changing everyday! Great news for the attack mentality football!

The Wall

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

After 6 rounds played, finally, there are no Teams with clean sheets! Now we have 3 managers with 1 conceded goal only, so, soon enough, a nickname will pop up here!

Most Valuable Player

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

@Mickytuli from Spain , with 105 points achieved for his National Team, has become the new MVP of this Final. No wonder Spain is on the lead!

Lots of quality here! This is proving to be a great Final, with top of the line Managers performances so far. Whoever wins the Champion Title, will deserve it entirely for sure!

Speaking on that, today I'll start analysing National Teams Performances again! After 6 rounds we already have enough data to bring you back the Nation of the Day rubric!

So, today, on the highlight we have nothing less than the current Leader of the Final, Spain !

Spain is currently in the 1st place, with 236 points! After performing very well in the qualifying round, finishing 2nd in Group C, they're up to a good start in this Final! So far, this National Team's MVP (and also in the competition) is @Mickytuli , that, with 105 pts (5 wins and 1 defeat), is contributing with 44% os Spain's score! @davidaguila76 is also performing very well so far, with a 32% contribution to the National Team score (76 pts - 4 wins and 2 draws). Keep it up "nuestros hermanos!

And that's all folks! Tomorrow i'll be back, with the Individual Awards update, and a new National Team analysis! Cheers!

Today we'l present the last interview with a Finalist National Team Coach, @CnytAkn from Turkey ! All 16 National Teams present in the Final replied our questions, and we appreciate that! Thank you such much for the trust!

Q: Congratulations, once again, for qualifying into the final. What are your expectations for the last stage of the competition?
In the last round, we expect a league where everyone is more active and the struggle is at the top until the last moment.

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?
You are on a good road so far, I can say that it is a team that has proven its quality on behalf of my national team in the past and its struggle in such beautiful tournaments is always appreciated.

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 think the most important is the quality and activeness of the staff, then tactics and of course luck.

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?
No, it is sufficient to prove himself, decisions are made after each application is evaluated.

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?
Certainly, for this to be a very important and prestigious tournament, the rules and the tournament operation need to be determined in one go and explained in a text, so that there are no new rules or glitches every day.

Q: Would your Nation be available to play Nations Cup U21? What should be the criteria for participation?
Yes, you can play, there should not be too many criteria, I think it would be enough to have the account completed for 1 year.

Thank you! Goof luck to Turkey !

Tomorrow on, we'll start posting a new set of Interviews, with different questions and different protagonists! Don't miss it!

Good evening OSM fans! It's me Sir Hunchy! After 7 Rounds played, this Nations Cup 2021 Final is proving to be an authentic rollercoaster! And the protagonists of this amazing plot are the Managers! Representing a National Team is a honour, and all these folks are up to it! Bravo!

Let's take a look on the Individual Awards Highlights!

Extreme Evolution

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

@Jhonger-PG (Peru ), is still the Squad Master, with 238M Squad Evolution, but @Campelovisk (Brazil ) is almost reaching the 1st place, with 236M Squad Evolution!

Goal Frenzy

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

@hangaboy (Cameroon ) and @Mickytuli (Spain ) share the leadership with 12 Scored Goals! Thats and average of 1.7 goals per match! Lets hope this attacking mentality keeps going!

The Wall

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

@zenudin_m (Bosnia and Herzegoniva ) and @davidaguila76 (Spain ) share the best defence so far in this Final, both with only 1 conceded goal after 7 rounds! Thats 0,14 goals per round! That's impressive!

Most Valuable Player

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

@Mickytuli (Spain ) , with 108 points achieved for his National Team, keeps the leadership! In the 2nd place, already in a fair distance, we can see @Kashaf-sanchez (India ), with 84 points. These folks are proving to be perfect choices in their National Team's drafts! Keep up with the excellent perfomance!

A couple of Spanish Managers appear on the highlights! No wonder they're on the 1st place in the Leaderboard! But they're not alone in the Leagues, and theres a LOT to play yet! No one can rest!

Nation of the Day
Today's National Team in the analysis board is Bosnia and Herzegovina ! They're currently on the 2nd place!

This National Team has been consistently rising up in the Leaderboard, round after round, and yesterday have reached the 2nd place, with 189 points! One Manager performance stands out in this Lineup: @zenudin_m , with 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat has a 80 points contribution for the Team score (42% of the total)! He is also one of the best in The Wall Individual Award (1 goal conceded so far)! The other Managers in the lineup are also performing in a good level, so there's no surprise to find them in the top of the Scoreboard! Congratulations to Bosnia and Herzegovina!

What a honour to be the Official Commentator of this amazing Nations Cup Tournament! So many superb Managers and National teams to analyse day after day! Thank you OSM gods!

See you tomorrow! Sir Hunchy drops the mic!

Today we start posting a new round of Interviews! After having the National Teams Coaches insights in the Final, now we'll have some of the Managers who have made to the Qualifying Phase Hall of Fame!

@konini , from France , is the first one! he finished in the 1st place in League 2A, with Real Betis!

Q - Who is the person behind your nickname? Can you speak a little about yourself?
Hi, IRL I'm Nicolas. "konini" came from my first name: "koni" is for "niko", but when i registered (in 2013!) it was already taken... So I doubled the last syllabe! And "konini" sounds like italian tactician, so it's perfect... haha ! Otherwise I am an IT consultant, I love my job. And I am a supporter of the Olympique de Marseille (french team): My blood is blue and white!

Q - You had a successful NC 2021 Round 1, finishing 1st. What are your thoughts on your performance?
Thank you
Good performance, i'm happy. But I was objective 1 so it is "normal"!
We qualified, that's what's important.

Q - Who were your biggest rivals on your way to success in Round 1 and what were the most difficult games you had?
Yeah @Moltensky (Portugal nation) with Benfica (yes Benfica for Portugal nation haha). He was leader for the 3/4 of the championship, and I took the lead at the 27th (of 30)! The most difficult game... I don't remember, surely against Benfica (i losed home) or @Ante Stiglich with Espanyol (3rd) and @Alkisaralali with Glasgow (4th).

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?
Tactical system in first! Simple: You can win with a very good tactic and a weaker squad. A very strong squad is not enough. But at this level you have to build a strong team too: You can't leave nothing to chance.

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 little bit. For me, my first motivation is to win with France! I never won WNT or Euro even if we were close (last euro: semi final). I WANT TO WIN haha!

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?
France, of course

Thank you Nicolas! And congratulations once again for your impressive performance in the Nations Cup 2021 Qualifying Round! Best of luck to France!

And thats all for today! Come back tomorrow! We don't need to say why, right?

Good evening OSM fans! Sir Hunchy is back! I didn't leave my spot since yesterday! I'm so amazed with this Nations Cup 2021 Final, that i'm spending all the time I've got analysing Managers and National Teams performances! And it's worth every second spent! Let's take a look on how the Managers are performing after 8 Rounds played!

Extreme Evolution

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

After 7 rounds with @Jhonger-PG (Peru ) in the lead, suddenly a bunch of managers gave an extra boost to their squads value! Now @hangaboy (Cameroon ) is the new leader, with 246M Squad Evolution! Epic! But how long will this manager keep the leadership?! Let's wait and see!

Goal Frenzy

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

@hangaboy (Cameroon ) with 13 scored goals (average of 1.6 goals per match) is alone in the leadership now! I'm so proud of this guy! I just love attacking mentality!

The Wall

It will be awarded to the managers with less conceded goals in the leagues with their teams!
Now we have 3 Managers with the only 2 conceded goals in 8 Rounds (average of 0,25 per round): @zenudin_m (Bosnia and Herzegovina ), @davidaguila76 (Spain ) and @Ante-Stiglich (Croatia )! These guys won't make it easy for their opponents, thats for sure!

Most Valuable Player

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

@Mickytuli (Spain ) , with 111 points achieved for his National Team, is improving his performance every day! It's Managers like this in the lineup, Spain will surely have a saying in the end!

@hangaboy from Cameroon is on the highlight today! He's performing superbly both in the Extreme Evolution and Goal Frenzy Awards! Bravo!

Nation of the Day
India is under analysis today! After 8 rounds played in this Nations Cup 2021 Final, they're currently in the 2nd place with 195 points!

One Manager's performance stands out in India's lineup for this Final: @Kashaf-sanchez alone has 42% of the National Team score so far, with 82 points (4 wins, 3 draws and only 1 defeat, 6 goals scored and 3 conceded). @Paniyath and @M-Vaswani are also performing very well, with a 29% and 22% contribution respectively. After achieving qualification in the last rounds of the 1st Phase, this time these folks are starting very well, and proving to be a National Team to be considered for the Champion Title! Impressive! Great works lads! Keep it up! The sky is the limit!

And it's all for today! I need to get some Easter Eggs to my little ones, before the supermaket closes! I've been so busy here in the NC analysis that I almost forgot about that! They wouldn't forgive me! Sir Hunchy is also a dad, you know?! Gotta go!!! Cheeeeeers!

Today we'll keep interviewing Managers who have stand out in Nations Cup 2021 Qualifying Round. This time, we bring you the insights of @GoldGamer381 from Serbia , who finished 1st in League 4C!

Q - Who is the person behind your nickname? Can you speak a little about yourself?
I am Filip, better known in the game as GoldGamer381 and I play for the national team of Serbia.There is no particular story around my nickname in the game, I came up with the idea spontaneously.

Q - You had a successful NC 2021 Round 1, finishing 1st. What are your thoughts on your performance?
I played well in the semifinals, in some games it was great, in some it was a little worse, it's all an integral part of the game. I think I could have played better in a few games, but overall I am satisfied with my performance.

Q - Who were your biggest rivals on your way to success in Round 1 and what were the most difficult games you had?
I honestly couldn’t single anyone out, every game was tough and they were all top managers in the league.

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?
When it comes to the game itself, it is equally important to make a good team and play equally well tactically. But I honestly think it’s a little more important to make a good team because without a good team it’s very hard to play strong leagues like NC.
It is more important to me that the team has a better result than winning an individual award such as the MVP, but of course, like any other player, it motivates me to be as good as possible.

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?
This is a very difficult question because only top national teams play in the finals. If I have to single someone out, it would be Turkey, which has a lot of good players. I must add that I believe that Serbia will take the title of champion.

Thank you Filip! Congratulations for your superb contribution to Serbia qualification to the Final! Good Luck!

I´m so excited, with the Nations Cup Final, it´s really a great competition, and it´s a pleasure, to be here having this opportunity, to see the best managers evolving every day!

Extreme Evolution

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

@Jhonger-PG from Peru and @davidaguila76 from Spain with 268M of squad evolution are both the leaders of this award! In a head to head challenge who will be the best? Bravo!

@Mickytuli from Spain with 122 points scored for his National team is still the MVP amongst all! Wonderful!

Nation of the Day
With so many great teams, me and my team, decided to examine Indonesia they are in 3rd place with 194 points and they had performed very well so far!

One manager stands out, from this lineup, it´s KING GOSSY, with 111 points achieved, resulting in 57% of the total points his National team conquered, in 5 wins and 4 draws and without loosing any game! Darboz Le69enD, is the second best, with 53 points, representing 27% of the total points that Indonesia granted, in 4 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats. If the other 2 managers, could improve their performance, Indonesia would become a very hard team to beat, and who knows they might do a little surprise!! Keep up the good work guys! I´m pretty sure, that your country is proud of you!!

What an interestant clash of teams, this competion is! Every day, anything can happen, changes in the Leaderboard and in the awards! What else, can we ask, from this fantastic managers?! See ya tomorrow dudes!!

Tonight, in Nations Diary, we have one of the best managers, in the qualification phase, in The Wall award, please give a warm welcome to @Palagiales from Panama

Q : Who is the person behind your nickname? Can you speak a little about yourself?

A : Well the person behind this nickname is called Agustín Gaston, a competitive person, who likes to be better and learn every day. very humble, always trying to help the Panamanian team to grow and become known throughout the osm world.

Q : You had a successful NC 2021 Round 1, finishing 1st. What are your thoughts on your performance?

A : The truth is I feel somewhat disappointed because I was filled with many draws where I was able to win some games but my team did not collaborate with the goals. But I am very proud of my team because even though I was not a golie, they did not beat me and that helped me win the title of "the wall" (of Berlin), just kidding, a title that I never thought existed and that I would win it and I am very happy and proud to win it.

Q : Who were your biggest rivals on your way to success in Round 1 and what were the most difficult games you had?

A : Gold gamer381 from Serbia who was the one who won the league together with Mahermoussa from Algeria, they were my biggest rivals to become champion in the first round of the NC 2021. Some of the toughest games I ever had. One was against Mahermoussa who I think I beat 1-0 while I was visiting and the other was against Almohob Traka, a very strong player who tied me 0-0 at home, when he was on a winning streak and highly motivated.

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 : For me it is the squad, that is, the assembly of my team because that is why it will depend on whether my tactics will yield or not. Of course it motivates me to keep improving every day in the game. It is gratifying and I am extremely proud that a Panamanian like me has won an award such as the "wall" makes me keep working harder to be one of the best in the osm.

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 think that Serbia has a good team and in round 1 two of the quartet finished first and took the league cup and third came second. I mean it's a very strong team.
I appreciate you interviewing me. I feel great and very happy because I didn't think I would reach this level in this game. And get to be interviewed. To continue showing my level and let them know that in Panama good managers.

Thank you Agustin, for such an interesting interview, and we wish you and Panama the best of luck in the next competitions!

And that´s it, finishing this edition of Nations Diary, one last note about the future of National teams competitions, we expect to organize, other competitions, and we are working in new ideas, but we will need the support of National teams coaches and captains, to keep doing something that unites us and make this culture of National teams even stronger, because only with that kind of effort, we will be sucessful.

Thank you, stay safe and enjoy life!

They are doing a great Final, and reached the 3rd place with 231 points, nothing is totally decided, and this guys, shown to everybody, in the qualification phase, that they are here for the title! One manager stands out of this lineup : foulardinho! With 102 points scored for France, representing 42% of the total points his National team achieved, in 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats, he is clearly the man of the hour!

Hello my friends,

"What other form of wisdom is more important than kindness." - Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Let´s start by looking, at the Leaderboard, after the 11th round :

The podium remains the same as yesterday. Spain leading with 330 points, followed by India with 292 points, and in third position, France with 239 points. Belgium dropped to 5th place with 224 points, and Bosnia and Herzgovina had the highest climb, from 8th to 4th position with 229 points. Croatia switched position with Serbia, 6th and 7th respectevely, with 184 points and 181 points. And closing the mid top table, is Morocco with 172 points. We have witnessed a certain regularity at the top of the classification, but the beauty of this competition is that any team, can go up or down more than one position, in a single day! This is far from resolved!

Hello sportsmen! Ready for one more analysis to our Nations Cup stars? I, Sir Hunchy, only bring you the best that the OSM has to offer!

Extreme Evolution

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

@arteromero from Spain with 355M of squad evolution, is the new leader of this award! What a joy!

Goal Frenzy

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

@hangaboy from Cameroon with 18 scored goals, kept the lead in this award! Wonderful!

@zenudin_m from Bosnia and Herzegoniva with 2 conceded goals, is The Great Wall of OSM! Bravo!

Most Valuable Player

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

@Mickytuli from Spain with 116 points conquered for his National team, continues to score points and push for his team!! Excellent! 🤟

This guys keep pushing forward, they know no limits! This is a privilege to witness such a quality! My team and i, we prepared a report from Belgium, which is in 5th position with 224 points.

They started badly, but journey by journey, they have been improving, and they are imposing their game. To reach this level, much has been contributed by Maskedandy_1 with 107 points granted, resulting in 48% of the total points, achieved by his National team, it´s almost half of the total points, distributed in 6 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats. Pagno 7 is his sidekick, with 76 points representing 34% of the total points Belgium achieved, in 5 wins, 4 draws and 2 defeats. If the other 2 managers, raise their game, they might match the top teams at this moment, and who knows where will they stop! Keep strong Red Devils!

I'm lucky! This invitation from the Nations Cup staff, to comment and analyze this competition, is the highlight of my long career as a journalist! I hope they invite me, for the next edition! Cheers!

Continuing with the interviews, with the winners of the leagues, in the qualifying phase, tonight we receive, thewinner of League 4B, coming from Turkey , please give a warm welcome to @RevengeisComing

Q : You had a successful NC 2021 Round 1, finishing 1st. What are your thoughts on your performance?

A : When the league started, I used the transfer event well and I can say that I have eaten the fruits of the superior squad throughout the league.

Q : Who were your biggest rivals on your way to success in Round 1 and what were the most difficult games you had?

A : Certainly from Hungary, BECIBA has a very closed game system. When your squad is superior, you are faced with a 5-player defense system, I can say that these matches were difficult.

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 : Squad building is more important to me. When your squad is good, your tactical options increase.

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 : Yes, an individual reward motivates you more, allowing you to have the ambition to exceed the numbers your opponents catch. This is also in human nature.

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 : It's hard to make a guess for now. The struggle will continue until the last match.

Thank you Fatih, for this enlightning interview, and good luck to Turkey!

Hello Friends!

"Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible." — Francis of Assisi

After 12 rounds in this Nations Cup 2021 Final, here is how things are in the Leaderboard:

Since yesterday, the most notorious development is the 3 positions climb of Serbia, that is now in the 4th place with 235 points! In the top, all is the same, with Spain (341 pts) and India (329 pts) firmly in the 2 first positions! Belgium is still 3rd, with 260 points, but can't rest a bit, as not only Serbia, but also France, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Indonesia and Croatia, all with a score above 200, are on the pursuit!

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

Good evening my fellow OSM passionates! It's me, Sir Hunchy! With already 12 rounds played in this amazing Nations Cup Final, a handful of Managers are already proving their worth! These folks are going to leave their mark in the history of this competition, for sure! Let´s take a look on how things are going in the Individual Awards performances so far!

Extreme Evolution

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

@arteromero from Spain with 365M of squad evolution, is holding position in the leadership! And is trying to beat his own record in the NC2021 Qualifying Round!

The reference in this award, with a score obtained in the 1st Phase, is:

@arteromero from Spain , with a final score of 1265M Squad Evolution (after applying the Group C coefficient - 0,9375).

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 getting away from the competition, with already 6 more goals than the managers in the following positions! This is pure poetry!

The reference for this award is:
@MenagerBL from Serbia , with a final standing of 51 Scored Goals (after applying the Group C coefficient - 0,9375).

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 2 conceded goals, seems to have a pact with the Devil! After 12 rounds, having only 2 conceded goals is a case study!

The reference for this award is:
@palasgiales from Panama , with 9 conceded goals (and only 2 defeats) in NC2021 Qualifying 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 129 points conquered for his National team, is the new leader in this Award! Without any doubt, this Manager performance is crucial for India's 2nd place in the Leaderboard! Well done!

The reference to beat in this Award belongs to:
@davidaguila76 from Spain , with a final score of 275 points (after applying the Group C coefficient - 0,9375).

Will we have new Managers in these Awards Final Standings? It surely seems so! At least in The Wall Award, theres's a Manager with an outstanding performance! But in the other Awards things are looking promising also! I have two words for this: Huge Quality!

Nation of the Day

Serbia's performance caught my attention today! They're in the 4th place in the Leaderboard, with 235 points!

After finishing in the 1st place in Group C, on the Qualifying Round, ahead from Spain and Ukraine, Serbia is starting to stabilize its performance in the Final, being now 4th in the Leaderboard! One Manager stands out in the Lineup: @Alexandar-Blumenshtil , with 7 wins, 1 draw, and 4 defeats, is contributing with 101 points for the Team's Score (43%). His teammates are also performing well, with one exception, though, that may be the reason why Serbia isn't in the Top 3! But there's still time to recover, and if that happens, and the 4 lineup Managers align in a good performance, Serbia will be a serious candidate to the title! Let's wait and see! At least, in the Predictions, they were the Favourites!

Sir Hunchy end's here today's analysis! See you tomorrow! Stay Safe! Cheers!

@MenagerBL from Serbia , is on the spotlight today! He won the League 3C in the Qualifying Round, and is the Goal Frenzy Award leader so far! Let's see what he has to say:

Q : Who is the person behind your nickname? Can you speak a little about yourself?
Just a regular guy who loves football and OSM, but OSM unfortunately less and less with each new day because GB is killing all sort of competition, removing old battles, allowing boss coins compensation in official battles, not inventing anything new etc. Hope something will change in near future.

Q : You had a successful NC 2021 Round 1, finishing 1st. What are your thoughts on your performance?
I won the league, so I have to be satisfied. But like in all things in life, it’s always possible to do better...so my goal is always to try to improve my performance in all aspects...

Q : Who were your biggest rivals on your way to success in Round 1 and what were the most difficult games you had?
I remember “El nene 2000” with Watford was my biggest rival... other were not so close. He was on top for 15 or more rounds, but in 2nd half of the league I made some good results and managed to secure the title 3/4 rounds before the end. There were a lot of hard matches...It becomes especially hard when opponents start to use ST’s. Speaking about that, now in the Final in 11 matches my opponents used ST 8 times! Think this rule could be maybe changed in the next edition...

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 would say 50% - 50%...or maybe even 51% squad building - 49% tactics... If you don’t have a strong squad even the best tactics won’t work, or won’t work so good. In competitions like NC a lot of managers are using pretty similar tactics I guess so squads make the difference very often. With the addition of nations bonus and positions bonus the difference is becoming even bigger. But of course you need good tactics too and you need to know what’s the right time to use some particular tactic, because, again, a lot of managers who play on this level have similar/equal squads...

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?
100%. The awards are a really nice addition to the tournament. I guess they are a motivation for everyone. I think all tournaments should have some type of individual awards section. Not only because the award itself, but because it’s interesting to follow the stats and performance of different managers from different leagues...at least for me...

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 Spain has good chances to win this. Easy to talk now as they are on top at the moment... I know some of the managers who play for them from other competitions and I see they made a good start. Also, we finished above them in round 1 so we could say we won against the champions...
Normally I would put ourselves as potential champions, but this time we are playing with 3 managers because some unpredictable reasons. (excuses )
Let’s say Spain again, but it’s a long way to go...everything is possible.
Good luck everyone!

Thank you Nenad! best of luck to you and Serbia in the Final!

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!

There were some changes in the Leaderboard. Spain kept the 1st place with 389 points, followed by India with 362 points and Bosnia and Herzgovina that switched position with Belgium, with 295 and 291 points respectevely. In the 5th place is Croatia that had, the biggest climb in the table, from 9th to 5th, with 262 points. Serbia dropped one place, is now in 6th, with 253 points, in 7th position is Indonesia with 250 points, and in 8th place is Morocco with 238 points. Expect more changes in the next rounds, because the differences are not so big, and bad round for a National team, is the opportunity to another climb in the board. The tension is rising!

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.

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!

NC2021 Final - Round 17 - Leaderboard

After 12 rounds in a row in the Lead, Spain has fallen one position, being now 2nd with 420 points! The 1st place belongs now to India (425 pts)! It looks like the leadership will be fiercely disputed by these two National Teams in the next rounds! In the 3rd place we have now Bosnia and Herzegovina with 308 points, that switched places with Belgium, now 4th with 302 points. Serbia is just one point away (301 pts) in the 5th place, and Croatia is 6th with 296 points. France is back to the game, rising two positions since yesterday (is now 7th, with 281 pts) and Indonesia completes the first half of the Leaderboard being 8th with 271 points. This looks like a stock market!

Greetings! Sir Hunchy, now live from the Nations Cup Arena!

What's up folks?! Here I am, once again, bringing you the latest developments on this Nations Cup 2021 epic Final! This looks like a diamonds mine, with a lot to explore! Let's take another dive in the galleries!

Extreme Evolution

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!

"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!

Your Feedback is very important to us!

@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.

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.

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

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!
