Games with normal rules and with U21 teams. (PS! IF both sides agree, then they are also allowed to arrange an U20/mixed game)

Home and away teams are random at the moment (in the fixtures). Who makes the challenge first, usually also decides where the game will be played. (Hopefully it wont be a major problem, because here in Sokker is no home team advantage)

Oh, and that`s not all! The overall winner also gets a virtual trophy:



NB! The designer of the mini-tournament logo and trophy is JoosepN.

That`s all for now, but stay tuned! :)

To Stevie and brokus. ;P

Fixtures added to the first post!

We will start on next Friday.

First round is over and here are the results:

Estonia - Latvia 3:1
I would say, that it was a very hard game for us. My 1o1 situations were horrible today, but Latvia`s GK isnt the strongest one, lol... My players decided to bet on luck and scored 3 lucky goals - two of them were long shots by the way. Opponent`s through passes were quite dangerous and from time to time, my defenders acted like some headless chickens - many bad decisions made by them. Luckily, Latvia managed to score only once, although second was also close. Also low quality in passing, but a win is a win.

Lithuania - Finland 2:3
What can I say - the so called surprise was close, but Finland managed to come out from being behind 2:0 and win by one goal. PS! As I noticed, then Finland used their U20 team, but still, it seems to be an exciting football match.

Next week fixtures:

Estonia U21 vs. Lithuania U21
Finland U21 vs. Latvia U21

Stay tuned!

PS! League table updated!

agreed mate !

snow forecast this week , hopefully not tho :)

Well, what can I say... Things went exactly as I was afraid of - the match against Finland and Latvia wasnt arranged. It is quite sad actually, because those kind of things shouldnt happen at this level. Also, both managers had 6 days to do the needed things... I did my best to get this match booked and informed them, but now I simply need to find the best solution.

Both managers claim, that they are not guilty (Mysi: 2012-12-06 21:33 I've sent an invitation for him, but guess who ain't noticing my calls...; Khatibi MC 2012-12-07 10:49: There wasn't any invites! I decline 3 invite to accept Mysi and now i havent any match!) According to that information I have, it is Mysi`s fault, but I cant be 100% sure about that. One option is to give a WO to one of the managers and also 3pts, other is to give 0 pts to both of them and 0:0. I need to think...

-5 and snow in Warsaw, wohooo....not.
