Yes, you've growth the strikers of one generation :). Great!

I'm happy to see that we're stinn at 15th place. :)

Easy match, with and opponent red card. One way match, where we've taken the chance to try something new in the tactic.
I hope that this win, could give us a lot of point to escape away from the 16th position :)

Yes, we're against spain in the semi final. Yesterday we performed a great match. Maybe Eesti deserved at least one goal more but I think that the result is right. I hope that our striker continue to score a lot of goals as in this match.

Spain come from a group with Sverige, Belgie and Polska, and he won all the matches. Very hard match, I think a final in advance. Let's go!

Great, I thinks you should try giving Bloemberg and vdVlekkert mid-orders :)

Thanks for the suggestion, but I think that is not a good idea. I'm afraid that they try to dribble opponent midfielders withthe risk of bloody counter attacks, while with the def order, they try to make good passing but without dribbling. Reading the rules (in english) you can read

defenders should tackle the ball rather than try to dribble past the opponent and thus leave his team in trouble if the ball is lost

And that's what I prefer, don't you?
Moreover, defender has not got enough level of playmaking and passing skills to perform dangerous pass-through with regularity, don't you?

Oh... I see that they are your players. Are there training reasons behind this request? Or is this only a suggestion because they play like side back in these matches? :)

Oh sorry, just kidding. This way they don't get any extra training, but I completely agree.

I've quite some experience in playing wingbacks with mid-orders. I noticed that with brilliant or higher pm (&high form), they behave like normal defs would in "emergency situations". In possession they really added to the game as the were able to reach their teammates even when positioned far away.

Bloemberg popped to divine pace btw... that was a nice surprise as I expected him to have little extra training.

I think he is training these players with MID order, so he receives extra training in the NT match doing that ;)
In friendlies we can consider that for him because they grow faster in skills for him and NT , but not in other games of course, as you explained already.

Edit: did read the post of Jim afterwards my post.

In friendlies we can do that.
Gives your team and NT a better player for the future.

This would only apply for Bloemberg. After buying another trainee this week I have cut vdVlekkert out of the training scheme... sorry

Totally agree with poey :). Even in this next friendly? I think that it's too important :S

No, not the next friendly lol, it is cup :)

!!!! We staan gewoon in de finale van het EK!!!

Gefeliciteerd! Ik schrok wel even van de wissel van Bloemberg, maar geen blessure gelukkig.
