ahh... cristinidu will take off this luck you have, you will see.

Congratulations @blackx !

Congrats for the medal Karsten, you played well, but in the end it was not meant to be your day. You really surprised me with you tactic, probably 2 strikers would have helped you more. It is gonna me a tough final, Czech vs Romania.

let's suport România little gool :p

Many thanks @sviktorov, hope your former country and sokker second home country makes you proud and happy :)

Thanks Clau_Goool! :) I was expecting to be thrashed so this result makes me both proud and disappointed. But, on the other hand my keeper took me this far so I can’t complain a bit. Besides, I was the only one to beat Poland in this World Cup! ;)

2 strikers would’ve been good and I would have used two strikers if I could’ve fielded 11 players. I made the decision because I was missing 3 players who would have played and one of them was my 2nd striker. And I wanted to surprise Romania, that’s why I chose to use winger (who is far from World Cup semifinal quality), not so low defense etc. My biggest problem was the lack of defenders in this generation; I had one unearthly with incredible pace and one 2 x magical. Third highest defender level was outstanding. That’s something you don’t have to worry about in bigger countries. One player who was suspended from this game has very good defender. And we beat Poland, him playing as wingback.. :D

Anyway, congrats to cristidinu for the deserved win! He’s a great manager and I think he’s gonna take the golden trophy. Congrats to Czechia also, and to Hungary for the bronze. Well done all!

I didn't know you're a big supporter of Romania. May your wish come true.

He's not a fan of Romania, he is hater of the Czech Republic, cause he has a trauma. Ostulc is waking him up form the sleep.

@theKarsten Congrats for another medal for Suomi, small country with big heart. It was a hell a game against Romania. If Suomi had a good winger, Romania could cry on their flag now.

yep... i am... i am... :p

what trauma? lol

I haven’t seen the game, I have a night off from the kids and we’re having a romantic evening with the wife. And I’m just here all the time. At least we won’t have more kids coming! ;) He will be a nice winger in a season but not yet as his pm is way too low. I had three top level players (Salmetvuori, Soini, Rahikainen). That was enough for a medal this time. Next time, as I’ve said several times, we will have stronger squad, but I have a feeling we used all our luck in this edition and we’ll be crying in two seasons.. :D

Just don't meet Romania and Poland in a group stage... Or meet them and kick their asses once again, sokker loves that :D

Czech is a sokker power nowadays, so kicking their ass will give sokker a boost :)))

You should with your player pool, nothing to loose for us there, and that is so freeing up. We are going against the odds and going to enjoy our reward, cause CZE is not a powerhouse. We are as big as Hungary, Spain or Argentina, and yet we are considered as a top tier team, still holding no.2 ranking, and that makes me really proud. That great job which Ortwin and ostulc has started long time ago continues, and that great group of people around our our NT is something great to be a part of.

In our interview with Woody, months ago, my only favorite was the Czech Republic.

Which teams do you think are the favorites to win this U21WC and why these teams is the favorites in your opinion?

Czech Republic. Because the team that has prepared its squad in the best way since the qualifying groups.

It is a great project and congrats for the lads for it. Now you must start winning more medals, you have the value and ideas, but as you see into the stats, Czech is third in medals after Polska and Romania, so you are positioned quite well and therefore you can achieve even more. Good luck to both team into the final!
