is t nu dan tegen tjechie?

its ok..

those things happen :p

i'm not mad :D no injuries :p

its easy to solve both: put your strikers deep and keep your midfield (except for winger if you want) low.
Ok, we are the agressors, but that means they'll surely play defensively. So our players will get tackled lots of times if they move up. It's better to keep them lower, force them to come over and then counter. Our 2 offensive midfielders (bare and eben) never could dribble their opponent (which were 3 defmids i think). The tactics Tbeirke used (and me in the nt a few times last season) are prototypes of what you wanted to see here: 41212 :)

da kan

exactly, if they play defensively, the only time our offensive player will have any space is when the ball is on our field. And we need the space. So, let them come a bit with lower defmids.

I'll think about it.

Great info : Poland is out :D
Spain managed to win and enters in the last square with Ceska Republika (though opponent but still weaker than poland :P).
We will know for Italy in 2h

We will do the 1/2 without Baré due to 3 yellows that turned into 1 red

Next round:

België U21 - Italia U21
Česká republika U21 - España U21

A real challenge :)

not the easiest (think that would have been spain?), but none is really easy at this stage though.

at this stage it was either Italy or Spain. Spain is maybe slightly weaker than Italy but the difference between the 2 teams is weak.
