Subject: [NT] U27 European Championship - Season 3

I've seen some of you put on their calendar "U27 EC semi-final or free".

No !

The calendar will be done like every team will have matches from week 11 to week 15.
There will be matches for 3th place, 5th place, etc ....

So regardless of the standings in the group will have guaranteed games in weeks 14 and 15?

- France
- Lietuva
- Bulgaria
- Sweden
- Croatia
- Makedonija
- Hungary
- Slovakia
- Israel
- België
-Spain
-Poland

Yes, in week 14 and 15 we'll organize match for 2nd, 3th and 4th of each groups.

Romania just confirm to me :

1) France
2) Lietuva
3) Bulgaria
4) Sweden
5) Croatia
6) Makedonija
7) Hungary
8) Slovakia
9) Israel
10 België
11) Spain
12) Poland
13) Romania

I have a big problem : I've just seen that Israel was autorize to play this tournament last season...
When I had create this tournament 4 seasons ago, I'd limit it to european teams : Make a world U27 tournament is a big job, and it's too big for me. And some teams organise other continetal tournament, such like Copa America, etc ....

If Israel play, why not invite all other countries outside europe ?

For having no trouble with my Israel's coach friend, I propose him to play in this tournament to make the 16th team if we need someone.

Are you agree with this ?

sure

Is 16 the max number of participants?

4 groups of 4 teams = 16 teams.

After 16 teams, we need 1 more week for having quarter final, and the tournament will take place from week 11 to 0.

Italia have another tournament with Italian coach, DAHC Cup, not a lot of big teams will enroll now.
I'm waiting until tomorrow, but tomorrow I surely will decide that the groups are full, and will make the calendar !
