Seleccionador Nacional

[KunTeam]

Tras estas primeras etapas el seleccionador ha dado una rueda de prensa, destacando algunos titulares:
- "El objetivo de ganar un etapa está complicado, pero no vamos a tirar la toalla."
- "El Mundial lo vamos a ganar con la minga y vamos a hacer récord de puntos. Que nadie dude de ello."
- "Con Barrioska está todo solucionado. El año que viene mi voto será para él."
- "Que Damafeo no deje de mencionarnos en el foro es un orgullo para esta candidatura. Su inferioridad queda latente en cada uno de sus comentarios."
- "Viva España y Viva la Constitución"

The national teams are a bit of a useless item in this game if the manager of the biggest country is just trying to sabotage the whole thing. Maybe Oska should just stop using server space for this altogether.

Sin insultos...yo solo aviso. He moderado el mensaje de Kun.

Just makes the NTs more interesting for the rest of us.  The USA being world champions in basketball is useless, or Australians in AFL, or whatever the Spanish national sport is.  Having Spain win simply because they have an overload of cyclists is the biggest detriment on NTs, and Kun improves the relevancy of NTs in the game by making it competitive for others.

or whatever the Spanish national sport is.

  Football, but we win at tennis, hadball, waterpolo, badminton, cyclism, Rally, F1, motos, karate, muay thai, canoeing,...

Sorry to splash this Spanish dreaming 
But a tiny country as the Netherlands compared to big country Spain ;
first of all, the Dutch will beat the Spanish in their national sports ; football and cycling. 
Also the Dutch are much better in allmost all sports in and on the water, and for sure better in real fighting sports such as kickboxing and MMA.
Ok, ok, ok, the Spanish have Rafael Nadal, so you could be right about tennis. And maybe Spain is better in inferior sports such as curling, although I doubt that, because the Dutch are much better in sports on ice too. Although there was once a Spanish ice skater ; Antonio Gómez. Search him on youtube.

This is a challenging forumpost, I expect and hope there will be replies.
But I can imagine that the Spanish people will not react because they acknowledge Dutch superiority in real sports.
Especially after they searched Antonio Gómez on youtube.

Spain vs Netherlands, bleh.
Australia would crush both, we'd just sit our country on you.

Gracias.

vergonzoso, no se por qué me tiene manía el seleccionador, pero no solo va a perder por 3ª vez el mundial, sino que nadie tiene ilusion ya por la selección.

Non-Selecting competing 1st Division Teams

It's long been apparent that there's been a trend in those managing the Spanish NT squad that competing 1st division, or potential 1st division teams not of a network aren't being selected, and inferior cyclists from lower divisions are being selected.

Take Race 3 this season

Div 1 Not selected.
Daniel Cerdan scored 90 points season 6
Also omitted was  Lorenzo Ferreiro   23years   Zatarra (Div 1) then 9 star silver
Tomas Agea from HTCHungria gold sprinter

Only one Div 1 cyclist was selected.  Instead, silver cyclists, including 25 year old 7 star cyclists of lower divisions were selected.

Results:
149   Miquel Moran
151   Jose Roberto Jimenez
152   Florentino Aranda
153   Pere Cañon
155   Francisco Enrique Canto
157   Victor Fuentes

21 year old sprinters beat them.
Race 4, Chesspower's Spanish cyclists had their far too regular tradition of being omitted including
Higinio Espin scored 150 points race 4 season 6
Maximino Laguna scored 130 points race 4 season 6

And to add to this, TeaMetal's Saul Ayuso, who scored 150 points in race 4, was omitted in race 6 because his team was now a threat to the 1st division group.

That's around 800 points lost right there in three NT races.
This appears to be a recurring theme under the Spanish NT banner.  KunTeam was re-elected by those under the red & yellow flag despite having a history of this, and it's clear that if you're a good trainer of cyclists who'll threaten this select group, your cyclists won't be selected for the Spanish team.

A large number of Spanish based players play under different flags.  There's 18 other flags to play under, where you'll be absolutely welcomed & have your cyclists treated fairly, a majority run by Spanish managers.  With more opportunities for your cyclists, if you're going to train up a new generation of CFF cyclists, if you have a Change Nation icon, why not use it at season's end, and go somewhere that your cyclists will be treated properly.

Is there a country you'd love to live in real life?  Do you like the design of a particular flag?  Maybe your favourite sports player or movie star?  Maybe you like to visit somewhere?  Or just select a CFF nation with fewer players?  Regardless, why not join the multitude of other Spanish players playing under a different CFF flag.

Very well written. If it's true what you are saying, I think it's really disrespectful. In first place to the cyclists not selected and their managers, but in second place towards the other NT managers as well.  This kind of abuse should not be tolerated, in my opinion. It should not be necesarry for Osca to remove the experience bonus from NT's. Just play the game with the honor it deserves.

@AA: Don't let it take the glance off your own performance this NT-season, you would've won anyways, I think.
