This season we are going to celebrate the 3rd edition of the Asian Cup, we hope to have the participation of all the countries of the continent.

The important thing is that each country registers its participation (any candidate) and then we will contact the winner to confirm participation.

Congrats to the New Zealand U21 team for winning the game today but you guys were lucky if we just look at the stats. We missed some close chances and found ourselves in good positions plenty of times. However, Reeves and Sumner played really well from your team. Let's see if we meet in the knockouts in the U21 Asian Cup.

Thanks for everyone who voted for me, this week the new qualifiers will start and I will give you an update from time to time.

If you have a young player (U21) who can reach the U21 squad, just update him in the database:

I want to update this database to make sure we also have a nice overview for the future, my plan is to run this squad for several season ;-)

Thanks

Today we lost the first U21 match against Paraguay with 1-2.

Paraguay are high ranked than New Zealand but I tried to get a nice result, to bad we lost with 1-2!
The next game we will go for a win, let's go!

Note: I'm updating the U21 database, so if you have some nice players of 21yo or younger just send me a mail, the future looks promising with some nice youngsters.

Second match today and what a win
Kazakhstán U21 - New Zealand U21 1:7

I changed the tactics a little and I'm happy with the result, let's go the to the qualifier (first a friendly match)

We just lost our 3rd match against Colombia (the first in our group) with 0-2, I'm happy with the tactical changes I did for this match but Colombia was just to good!
Next match will be a difficult one again but after it I should be able to win (let's hope for a nice result next week also)

You could still get the 3rd place, which would be great. Colombia is a WC team, slim chances to leave them home, especially coming from the 4th pot.

Yes a 3rd place would be nice, I will give everything I got in the next matches ;-)
