Because its not elections in America.

lol :p

Englands u21 qualifying group is a decent one. we should be definitely looking to qualify from this group :) switzerland, USA and moldova are decent teams, but 1st place would be where i'd be certainly looking to get if i'm elected :)

1. England U21 0 0 0 0 0-0 0
2. Schweiz U21 0 0 0 0 0-0 0
3. USA U21 0 0 0 0 0-0 0
4. Moldova U21 0 0 0 0 0-0 0
5. Việt Nam U21 0 0 0 0 0-0 0
6. Lëtzebuerg U21 0 0 0 0 0-0 0

Tough group imo, even though we are ranked No.1.


(edited)

there are a couple of other good teams, but it seems easier than previous groups, and i think we should qualify :)

i know, not sure whether i should as i don't want to seem like i'm acting like i've already won the election, but i'm going to try and get a few updates for players. it would help ncn just as much if he was elected though... :) lol

A cynical person might consider doing so to be canvassing for votes. Luckily I'm not a cynical person :).

thought you might think that ;)

in fairness, of the managers i've mailed for updates there's only being a few that are English, and i've just sent a standard message that says i'm scouting :)

wow i cant believe the new u21 managers electioneering here are saying this is an easy group.

Switzerland are always dangerous, USA can pull a result against England and watch out for those pesky devils Moldova.

The truth is no-one knows how strong our opponents will be until the end of the first qualifier.

Cedric will crush you Englanders!

You won my vote tomkellz, good luck.

In true wdp style I would be moaning like mad after drawing that group, especially after getting us up to 11th in the rankings. lol

lol, i do think that there are a few tricky ties, but i think it's a group we can win as opposed to last qualifiers when we had italy.

@iris: thanks for the vote, i appreciate it mate :)

I'm sorry I'm going to miss the group.

Hi Tom,

I've had a look through your matches from last season in II... with the exception of a couple of early experiments, you basically played two tactics - 433 and wing - and there didn't appear to be any modifications or tactical tweaks for different opponents.

I apprecaite the old adage 'if ain't broke, don't fix it', but if you become U21 manager tactics will be a key factor in England's success, if not the key factor - particaularly as wdp74 continually bemoaned our alleged lack of quality in strikers, mids, defenders, etc. compared to every other nation in sokker :)

Do you have some examples of innovative tactical formations or situations where you've used tactics to beat a significantly stronger team (ratings wise)?

From what I have seen we lack quality in both defence and do not have a winger of any note, how will you combat this problem?

No winger?

What about this guy??
