Subject: U21 National Team

that was all i was able to do. :(

you could see that stewart missed many great chance and he was tackled from behind too, while their striker did what they wanted.
their team worths much more than ours, its really hard to win without some luck even when you know their tactic.

You made 2 significant mistakes that cost you the game.

The first was Cullimore, had he been in the midfield marking Buinevici (their most important player) where he should have been, they would have been significantly shut down.

The one that really cost you was Shawn Connell. You cannot bring your central defender (your most important defender) out into the midfield/sweeper position and away from his line against a central attack. That was what cost you the game in the end.

i agree with the second one.
i pull conell a little bit forward when the keeper kick the ball out. that was a great mistake...

but i think, if you check the two moldovan goal you will agree with me, that these were unavoidable goals.
we lost the ball in the midfield, (again bannon) the moldovan mid pass it to the striker who scored with his head. these goals werent planed.

38 Ireland U21 1929.16

we are playing against indonesia.

watch it live! :)

1-0 for ireland! :)

another lucky win.

we dont deserve the win...

Would there be any benefit in playing U-20? We seem to have a fairly young 1st team and even though we're getting results, it might be a bit easier if we play to our strengths.

okay, i'll try arrange other u20 friendlies.

i know that our u20 is a little bit stronger, thats the reason we are going to play against portugal an u20 match. portugal is stronger, but our u20 dosent seem so bad. :)

if ur playin portugal u20 my def will play against us :)

hmm interesting to go with U20s...
seems a good option maybe not for strikers is all...?
i reckon holt would be playing only for his form :(

dont forget that today we will play against wales!
