Subject: Eesti rahvuskoondis managed by Jurkasz

I realised I didn't write anything yet xD

Thanks for all the support, after the first two games I didn't think we're going to get this far. Although my initial goal was a win in the final, I'm still pleased with the semi-final appearance after losing like this against the mighty Polska. Tomorrow the USA will try to beat them too, I think they have a nice chance if Shadow won't change his tactic. But I'll cheer for Polska actually, so I can say only the winners could knock us out :)

Tomorrow we'll play with Colombia. I'm going to use our best team excluding Tamkivi, Ritsik and Miller who are all going to rest in the second half of the season. I don't know what will happen since it seems like I can't win friendlies unless our side is absolute superior to the opponent, but let's hope this tendency will change with this match :P

Tomorrow our opponent is Russia. According to my agreement with agemiz, we're going to play with our reserve team, basically low-form players and those who didn't play in the World Cup although they were part of the NT. Additionally we'll have Malev Männimets, the player who was selected by the winner of the betting contest, voimix.

Kuna võitsin selle ennustuse ja paremat meest mul pole , siis mängib koondises täna jah selline mees

this game could have had a very different result :s
Russia put up a good fight and they could have won the first half. dont know whats wrong with our attackers - they seemed to like camping offside most of the the second half and by doing that, not to have any chances on goal...
Kast was excellent and in my eyes, he was the man of the match.

good result tho! (Y)

Ei oleks pidanud nad midagi võitma, kõik on õige :D

We're gonna play an U24 game against Suomi. I'm not too optimistic to be honest :] A lot of good players has awful form, the only position where we are completely okay is the goalkeeper's.

Küünal saved the day - hattrick from him:)

Indeed, as expected from a player of yours ^^

I thought they were going to play with their 4-5-1 since they had some form problems in the defense (just like us) and they had only 2 strikers in the squad but fortunately we still managed to win. Great comeback from 2 goals down :)

Our problems with defs really started to show after the first half. In the last 75 minutes all they could do was just stupidly kick the ball out of lines without even considering to play it for mids. I can't understand how it is possible to have 8 shots in the first 45 minutes and only one in the last 75. I also wish there hadn't been extra time :)
(I actually didn't even know there was going to be one)
Gongrats.

Thanks :)

All NT-friendlies are automatically played with cup rules since the major update at the beginning of the season, that's the reason behind the extra-time.

Didn`t know that before.

We're going to Schweiz to open a couple of bank accounts.... eat chocolate and cheese... and play some football with our U23 team :) On my request there's going to be one 24y player old in both teams, it's going to be the keeper on our side and most likely a very nice striker on theirs.

That striker really made it hard for us :] My tactic was also a bit off, the attackers went too deep and their positoning were not good. But we managed to win anyway, so there's no reason to complain :)

Treialt lasi 4st löögist 3 sisse, aga hinne ikka 89. Man of the match, raisk!
(edited)

3 läks ainult selle pärast sisse kuna neljas löök oli napilt väravast möödas, muidu oleks neljast neli olnud.

nice match, good result.
i cant understand how the Swiss were fouling against us and didnt receive one single card...
you should have put someone else 24y old on the pitch, our goalie didnt do much good - in fact, he failed 100%. not the best way to make the debut for your country...

Naarits kukkus siis jumaliku kiiruse pealt üleloomulikuini, koondisesse mahub vist ainult peerude meistrivõistlustele. Oli tore aeg ja jääb see mees igavikuni oolema koos Saiaga ajalukki. Tubli, Tarmo!
