well done yesterday!

Lëtzebuerg U21 - New Zealand U21 0:3

The match wasn't as easy as it seems, because of the absences, but the superb play of
Will Howell with one goal made it cushier. Other players were on his rect line doing a perfect match. Now the qualification is:

1. Portugal U21 2 2 0 0 8-0 6
2. New Zealand U21 2 1 0 1 3-1 3
3. Israel U21 2 1 0 1 3-2 3
4. Norge U21 2 1 0 1 2-3 3
5. Shqipëria U21 2 1 0 1 4-8 3
6. Lëtzebuerg U21 2 0 0 2 1-7 0

And next qualification match will be against portugal U21, We dream with another draw as few matches ago as well.

3rd match of qualification and loose :(

New Zealand U21 - Portugal U21 0:2

I think there weren't the best day of our kiwis because we could do more chances to score a goal... anyway the other team is better and the he deserved the victory. The table is now:

1. Portugal U21 3 3 0 0 10-0 9
2. Israel U21 3 2 0 1 6-3 6
3. Norge U21 3 2 0 1 6-3 6
4. New Zealand U21 3 1 0 2 3-3 3
5. Shqipëria U21 3 1 0 2 5-11 3
6. Lëtzebuerg U21 3 0 0 3 1-11 0

Next match against Israel U21, it seems a very difficult match again

We have lost al the options but I hope to do a decent season. Next match against Cuba U20 where we will see next season players

Kurt Lang, looks like fast keeper. Probably formidable keeper with ~outstanding pace:) I´ll ask the skilsl.

(edited)

this is another keeper for the future: Brad Mair he is trained on keeper, last time he was incredible keeper so now should be brilliant

talking about the match today, bad luck on first minutes :(

Toby Hagan I'm so sorry for snowy

shame because Israel played with 3 defenders and maybe could be any option for an decent result

Joe Gordon

hopeless stamina tragic keeper
good pace solid defender
solid technique adequate playmaker
solid passing

Hopefully will be trained well, and he doesn`t want to sell. Would pay decent amount for him.

Seems like the owner agreed to list him, so I am going to buy this guy.

edit: now listed..will be trained well.
(edited)

Didn`t get Gordon unfortunately. The price went too high, clearly overpaid and the opponent bidder just didn`t give up.

For example this 18yo Hungarian was sold for 750k €.

good stamina
good pace good defender kaitsja
good technique good playmaker
adequate passing solid striker

Luckily Gordon will be trained well. I think it was better I didn`t get him. His new owner will train him as a defender, I would have turned him into a midfielder. We need new defenders more.

Gary Joyce

arrrgh!! bad luck again:(

2-0 against Portugal, good result and not too bad played I hoped to they were going to use other tactic... but not bat result at all. The worse another injury, 29 days for Gary Joyce!! :S

sorry,injury,good luck

this is sokker... thanks for wishes and good luck to you too

victory against Australia! :D

Have we lost to Australia...like ever?:)
They are easy opponents and NZ always win...

Btw any idea bout the skills of Max Lawrie, I guess his keeping is around magical-unearthly, but pace?
It´s good that NZ will have no keeper problems in future. Kaz isn`t that old, then donnie, Max...that 19y old brad or whats his name was, then we 17y old under training..looks good.

formidable pace, excellent passing, magical-unearthly keeper. He is the ultimate keeper from NZ

good victory today!

Ísland U21 - New Zealand U21 2:4

where we have could seen new faces as the new keeper Brad Mair and the new promising striker Adrian Stephens who had a debut with goal. The old boys as Toby Hagan and Gary Joyce had a good play as well.

My last mach as main coach U21 will be against Kypros U21

Hi Mate..

there will be U21 MİNİWC...

Can you add New Zealand..?

I Think the Coach who win the elections will want to be in U21 WC..

And that would be very nice for NZ.. and would be nice for arrange ready matches :)

Good lucks..
