Subject: [U21] World Cup Qualifications

We won match against Colombia 2:0, but i'm not very happy with our performance. We played worse than against Montenegro. Columbia had many chances, for example a penalty kick (but yes, we had even more chances). The match was like a Russian roulette and it's not my style. :D

This week, we will play against Indonesia. It will be first exam for our world cup generation (today U20).

On Friday, we won against Indonesia 3:0 in friendly U20 match. 3:0 looks like clear victory, but it was tough match. We played without our two best mids (injuries) and it was obivous. Match decided our better skills (mainly in defence).
Next week, we will play qualification match against Albania. I believe that a clear win for our team.

I apologize for little info. I'm on vacation. We won against Albania 5:0. First half wasnt good, but in second half we showed our quality. Next match is very important. We will play against the surprise of our group - New Zealand. I will do everything for victory. ;)

We won against New Zealand 3:0. It was hard match, but we broken our opponent in second half (as always). Next match we will play against Thailand. My goal for this match is result 10:0 for us. :D

Good job! Some extra goals aren't bad at all, for later on... They might get handy.

Yeah. 12:0 is good result for our team (in next match with Thailand I will try to break it Eesti record - 18:0 with Kazakhstan).

Next match we will play against Luxemburg. This is the second test for our U20 (World Cup) team and the only option is victory (last ,,weak" friendly match opponent - next in week 11 will be Czech republic).

Yesterday match was bad (maybe my worst in Eesti). Players played deep below their options. Why? It is very hard to say. Tactic wasnt ideal, even so we should easily overpower them. Our mids played terrible (yes, they are weak, but not so much). When I summarize it... When we play like this in week 11 against the Czech republic, it will be a disaster.

Now, we must be content with winning (even if it hurt :D).

Next week against Thailand, it will be much easier match with our much stronger U21 generation. ;)

:C Only 5:0 against Thailand. Our attackers were after party... :D Next match will be harder against New Zealand and I hope, that we have chosen our bad luck for the year ahead.

Albania - New Zealand 1:0.

If we'll win next match, we are on World Cup (in week 9 - it is good, isnt it?).

We played very good, today. We were clearly better and won 3:0. That means, that we will be on World Cup next year. ;)

Well done. What's the plan for the rest of the season :)?

Thanks.
In qualification, we must play U21, because we need all points for better pot in World cup group draw (maybe I will write message for Crna Gora coach to change our last match in qualification group to U20). Friendly matches U20, we will play against Czech republic (week 11), Lithuania (week 14), Brasil (week 15) and Sverige (week 00).

Today we will play qualification match against Albania. We will play with more U20 players (6-7 maybe).

Great job in both fronts (WC and friendly against Czech)!

Thank you. Yesterday, it was a very balanced match with the world champion. It is good for us. But I feel one possible problem for WC. Our team is very narrow in the number of quality players. Now, all this players are without injuries and in super form. It is unlikely, that this situation will be tha same on WC. This can be a problem for us.

Tommorow, we will play against Colombia. It will be very hard match, beause we will play with U20/U21 mix. World cup is near and we need prepare our U20 players.
