The current situation:
- The first 32 teams will participate according to the rules, that everybody accepts by participating (if you want to change them, we can discuss it after the end of the tournament - for the next time)
- 39 teams have declared interest
- Colombia has withdrawn it´s participation.
- I expect the same for Mexico - they have scheduled games for week 3, 4 etc - the team was registered by somebody else, not the current manager
=> The registration is guarandeed for all teams between rank 1 and 34
- All these teams have got a skmail and I ask them to withdraw their participation, if they do not want anymore to play in the U20 MWC.
- If somebody will withdraw (cancel) his participation, then the next team to participate is team number 35 etc.

- Please answer as soon as possible (via skmail), so I can inform the teams of Makedonija, Canada, Nicaragua, República Dominicana and Singapore.

And thank you all for your feedback :)

I think it´s today :P
Today, late at night, like past time ;)

U20 "Mamma mia" World Cup


I know, you are waiting for the draw. It will happen in the very near future - in less than an hour. Till it is done, you may read an interview of our expert Woody.

.....................................................................................................................................

For those, wh do not know Woody, here are some few facts about him:
- I heard first about him, when he had some good results with the U21 of Perú.
- Every time it is U21WC, I know that Woody will prepare a U21WC-guide with interviews of all coaches and some interesting facts.
- Before the last U21WC, I remember him telling me, that Pavoniana (Belgium´s U21 coach) is one of the best coaches, if nt the best. Who won the final? It was Belgium with Pavoniana. And which team made the big surprise to reach the final and loose on penalty-shoot-out? It was Swiss U21; the team was coached by Woody!

U20 "Mamma mia" World Cup Expert Preview - Interview

- Hello Woody, do you know the "Mamma Mia" U20 Mini World Cup and do you know why it is named "Mamma Mia"?
Yeah! I think a very interesting competition because it brings the factor of training the U20 generation for next season plus the fact of creating a championship itself. Besides being well organized different from other unofficial competitions, this cup think about of the future!
Why is named ''Mamma Mia''? That's not what Mario speak? haha.... I can not imagine a reason.

- What do you think are the benefits of a team participating in the "Mamma Mia" U20 Mini World Cup?
As I said in the first question... the first benefit is play a U20 Cup, the next season is the WCQ, and the U20 generation now needs play matches in this season to help in trainings to prepare this players, so... this is the greatest possible benefit. The second is a organizated cup and Tsolias organized a good scheme to get a competitive championship.

- In the last edition, before 2 seasons, while you managed to reach with Swiss U21 the final of the U21 World Cup, Viet Nam won 1-0 against Hellas in the final of the U20MWC. Which 2 teams have the most chances to win this edition?
C'mon Tsolias... only 2 teams? It's dificult.... because... they have a large number of good and strong teams, besides the U20MWC champion Viet Nam with Red3x, they have Slovenija with andyS (Netherland U21 coach in some old U21WC), Ukraina played the last U21WC, Australia have l-zsolt, a good coach with experience in U21WC, Bulgaria with adix4o (a good coach), Azərbaycan is always a problem.... and of course, Switzerland, finalist in the last U21WC, Andreasson is a strong coach, too bad he make bad lucky in WCQ. But.... if i have a choose 2 teams for have most chances, i choose Bulgaria and Azərbaycan because you always expect them something stronger from the others! But I can not say for sure, I think it will be hotly contested and does not have a favorite.

- And now tell me 3 teams more, that have the potential to win against Bulgaria and Azərbaycan (the 2 teams you just named as favorites)
Well... i think Switzerland, Australia and Viet Nam with more potential, because i'ts a good teams with good coaches, the level is quite hard, so... the tactic will make the difference too.

- Finally one question out of topic: Who will win the U21 World Cup?
This question i will answer in the U21WC Guide! Sorry! :p

.....................................................................................................................................

Why is it named "Mamma mia" cup?
Here is the answer: On the past U20MWC we had 32 teams from 5 continents (15 from Europe, 6 from Asia, 5 from Africa and 6 from the Americas), guided by managers from 17 countries. Eleven (11 !!) managers from Italy... and I wrote: "mamma mia!!"
After this comment, the Italian coach of Cuba U20 Re_Ietto named it Mamma Mia World Cup

This time most coaches come again from Italy: 7!
We have 32 participant teams from 6 continents (12 from Europe, 12 from Asia, 3 from Africa, 4 from the Americas and 1 from Oceania), guided by managers from 18 countries. This time seve (7 !) managers from Italy... mamma mia!!

- Information about § 2. Arrangement of game (sending invitations to arrange the game in cup mode etc)
