Subject: WC u21 - Group M

these are the opponents of Canada u21 in the qualifications to next Word Cup:

1. Italia U21
2. Norge U21
3. Malta U21
4. Canada U21
5. Crna Gora U21
6. Kenya U21

what do you think about them?

Canada has an explosive attacking team and can beat any of these teams with the right kind of luck. With the right tactics and good form Canada has every chance to finish second in this group. Any misstep, though and we could drop to 4th. 5th would be a disaster.

Canada has an explosive attacking team

this is the point... and the problem! Canada is very strong forward.. but the skills of DEFs force to play often with a defensive line quite low. Just see most of the last matches (deathbymail can confirm, i think); and i think this would be a limitation in some matches.

I agree with you. In particular, form will be a very important variable in the next WC.

We must aim high, aim should be promoted:) Italians will be hard to dodge. However, Norway and Malta have to fight for the bonus promotion place. The remaining two teams will not be any threat.
Grounds are good tactics and good scouting.

If the defense is weak You have to play offensively (possibly even 2 WINGs and 2 ATT). Need to take the risk:) Who does not risk, this does not win:)

week 1 Malta
week 2 Kenya
week 3 friendly
week 4 Norge
week 5 Italy
week 6 Crna Gora

week 8 Crna Gora

It's a very difficult group, but the second place is possible; 60% (6)
Canada has no chances. 10% (1)

A great game against USA u21 today. We have some in form players, and you put them together into a super tactic, deathbymail. I thought that your tactic was great. Spot on.

I see the game too yesterday... Canada's Mids impressed me! they did a lot of very good passages, specially for their wing (who played a super game, with 2 assist)!
