Subject: [NT U-21] Friendlies

Thanks for the introduction and good luck.

Easy game easy win for our boys. Tactic worked fine. I used some of our young ones 20 and under to see what they can do and made them ready for next more important season. I am gonna do the same for next game and every other when we have an easy one. Thats one of the reason I made those easy games to test those young ones and see what they can do and what position they can play best.

Leopold injury is what I was afraid. One of the best striker we have. Howard replacement was a good one, he scored 6 goals WTG, a nice prospect but he is not ready for the more serious games.

Any thoughts about tactic, players or anything else, just ask pls.

Is Ben DeGuzman the best defender of 21 years old in Canada? :P

I saw the game, amazing result ; )...

goddammit!! :(

Our next opponent Camerun aranged a friendly with Ghana so I have to find another opponent. New Zealand might be free this week. I know Italia is free but they are to strong for us even U-20.

I think we should play with stronger opponents sometimes to challenge our team.

Match is booked with Ireland.

_____vs_____

A decent opponent Ireland is our next friendly.



Ireland is the third-largest island in Europe, and the twentieth-largest island in the world. It lies to the north-west of continental Europe and is surrounded by hundreds of islands and islets. To the east of Ireland, separated by the Irish Sea, is the island of Great Britain. Politically, the state Ireland (described as the Republic of Ireland) covers five-sixths of the island, with Northern Ireland, part of the United Kingdom, covering the remainder in the north-east.
The population of the island is slightly under 6 million (2006), with 4.2 million in the Republic of Ireland and an estimated almost 1.75 million in Northern Ireland. This is a significant increase from a modern historical low in the 1960s, but still much lower than the peak population of over 8 million in the early 19th century, prior to the Great Famine.
The name Ireland derives from the name of the Celtic goddess Ériu (in modern Irish, Éire) with the addition of the Germanic word land. Most other western European names for Ireland, such as French Irlande, derive from the same source.

The most popular sports in Ireland are Gaelic Football and Association Football.Together with Hurling and Rugby, they make up the four biggest team sports in Ireland. Gaelic Football is the most popular in terms of match attendance and community involvement, and the All-Ireland Football Final is the biggest day in Ireland's sporting calendar. Association football, meanwhile, is the most commonly played team sport in Ireland and the most popular sport in which Ireland fields international teams. Furthermore, there is significant Irish interest in the English and (to a lesser extent) Scottish soccer leagues.

Next game
Hayastan - booked

this game will feature 19 yo Partizan youth Arman Avetikyan who plays a big role in the def midfield for them

I don't know where I should write it, but one of the Canadian make me laught. I don't put his player on Slovenija U21 match against Tunisia, because I want to try players younger than 21 years old, I don't wonder that he will attack me so hard :-D

Temat: u made a mistake
why didn't u play my star player last game. rudonja

I write, that I'm coach, and I know what is good for NT, here is the answer:

who saved your ass last time against Japan my player, so don't give that bullshit. he is the best striker right now in that team

and

u just hate that my player is the best, if u don't like it exlude him from the team, i want to see how u will do without him

I'm impressed of his strange thinking, and of his idea that I hate his player...

Hmmm, and the last one, his appeal, and dark vision:

hey man if u r a good coach u will play rudonja every game that's what i have to say, but because is not your country u don't care go back and coach poland leave that team for a slovean guy , ciao

It's really hard to be a coach... :-P

That is funny. Thanks for posting that here. My sympathathies that you have to deal with all of these young egos on your national u21 team. Threats and bribes are just two things that come with being a bigtime national team coach. We see some of that on the forums, but I am sure there are a lot of mail too that most of us never see.
I can see that the Romanian sokker team has been around since 2006, but I dont remember them posting on the Canadian forum.
