Subject: U21 World cup qualification

The best match ever for Kypros.Nice tactic mate.Sorry im a little inactive cause i dont have a lot of free time.

thanks for report, this (defensive mid - central defender) player proved himself as very useful. I dont know if it is good strategy for NT, but for U21 it looks pretty usable

i tried to put effort in defending strikers and I relied on that opponent winger will not be good enough to make some big problems even if it was often uncovered

Kotsonis is making nice progress and he became our best striker, im happy for him that he is always in great form

But i was not satisfied with our passes because they were often very miserable, but defenders surprised and all of them were very reliable, maybe except ozdil who kicked the ball every time out of pitch

I could not do anything with formation during keeper kicks, if I pulled mids more defensively, they would be missed everytime in offense

defense line was set up like usually, i like if defenders join more in the game and help create it

next week IF we beat Scotland, we will end almost surely in 3rd place
It is only bad luck that we draw with them the last match which we should win, if we won and made good score on U.A.E, we could theoretically promote to World cup


1. Hrvatska U21 7 7 0 0 38-2 21
2. Türkiye U21 7 5 0 2 22-4 15
3. Scotland U21 7 3 1 3 40-12 10
4. Kypros U21 7 3 1 3 11-8 10
5. Cymru U21 7 2 0 5 22-16 6
6. U.A.E. U21 7 0 0 7 0-91 0

we can do it!

woooohoo!

Darren, can you do a video of the tactic in the tactic board so we can see how you can position players as u did?

We got an important match against wale today,don't we?

you see .. who cares

I do:))
You should too:)

You are right to feel like that mate, but what we can do?
From my point of view I just watch the games, at least, and learn from your tactics.
I also watch NT of Kypros every Saturday.
If you need help, you must find people that spend more time on SK and spy opponents, or at least make a presentation of what you are planning to play with. Players and tactics.
I like watching the Greek federation forum because their NT coach, is just amazing. He makes perfect presentations, but of course he has more people responding, discussing and analysing their NT and opponents. I find it very interesting as I am a big fun of GREECE.
Anyway, I just want to wish you good luck today, we deserve to be in third position at least.

:(
It was not so bad,maybe our strikers were a little more defensive than they should have been, whenever they had the ball they always had some opponent defenders on them,we lost 3 big chances though ...we could have escaped at least with the draw;(

draw woulb be more fair score than the 1-0

last game and we managed to reach 4th position

U.A.E. U21 - Kypros U21 0:11

watch minute 74-90 only

A 2 digit win is always nice even if UAE is like a bot :)

I think we should support gadfly and our national team in our last 2 qualification matches. Unfortunately this season didnt got well, but we still can get to little better mood by beating such weak opponents as Tunis and Misr are

KYPROS U21 ............................. vs. ........................... TUNIS U21
18:30 sokker time

Tunis has only 21 users and quality of their u21 is very small because there are only few active users. Tunis NT has 3 points and score 1-72 in our qualification group. The only their victory is unfortunately with our team :( Gadly has now opportunity to correct hesitation from previous match and give us offensive football with many goals and our big victory.

Best tunisianplayer - midfielder Eli Khoury has red card from last match and is unable to play today. Injured is their first keeper Naceur Tabet and instead of him unexperienced Ayadi Kone (1 NT game) will most probably to play

Tunis is expected to play 5-2-3 with winger, this give us plenty of space to take advantage in midfield which should us, together with better quality players (+no injuries or cards on our side), win the match easily
