Sulliven as ATT;p great idea;p

but... why when he tried to score, ball went for a throw-in?;)))

that was a cross not a shot! not ben's fault keenan is a lazy bum:)


nice one jirka, maybe he'll stop bugging me to let him play up front with the glory hunters:)

pity he couldnt score, but they were good skillwise, better than i thought and of course Arnau is a very good tactitian...

Back on this topic, I think for friendlies it's much better to discuss here than to have too many NT related threads on the first page ...

Well, it's very hard to find opponents to play against ...
I'd like to play against teams which are in our reach or a little bit weaker. The weaker teams aren't interested in playing against us, therefore we won't collect easy points ...

In the next week we'll play against teams mostly placed between 20-30 in the world ranking, so a little better. Still I hope to win some matches.

Tomorrow we'll play against Nederland, number 5 in the world at the moment. We'll play a U21 match, we are allowed to use 3 players older than 21.
I hope it'll be the last match against a top nations, their U21 is stronger than our senior team, it'll be a tough match.

I think you're asking for trouble with this game. We might just have been able to survive them with the full squad but with the U-21's? Even with a player advantage i think this one is beyond you and we could be looking at double figures.

I asked Shadowman if we could you another player over 21, he agreed, so now we're playing with 4 players over 21.

I'm going to hope that the 4 players over 21 are all defenders. If you do that we might be able to steal a result.

No, one of them is of course the GK! :-)
