Next up for England is a crucial qualifier vs Israel. It will be another nailbiting game, if we can deal with their top-class strikers we can come away with the three points. Sometime during friday the squad will be posted at the National association along with some words.

yo people.... last U21 friendly before the WC is against France :) should be a very interesting game, the team selection and formation is in the association, and as always please predict the scores int he Tv studio.

a very nice 2-1 win for the U21 team, hitting the post and the crossbar, i think us scoring 5 would have been a fairer score :)

our last 5 games for the U21 team have all been wins, including 4 games against higher ranked opposition. making us the in-form team for the world cup. our best mid did get injured, however we have a few good quality mids this year, and sadly he wasn't in the best form.

Very entertaining game vs Israel today.

Good results once again - well done!

Israel proved to be just as tough a task as expected. Tried a narrow 442 the first 30 mins and it didn`t really work to well, changed to a more balanced 442 in the 30th min and we played better after that. Israel were the better team in the first half, we were on top of things in the second. Quite happy to be just one goal down after 45, they scored their third after Hodorov tackled his way through. Slater gave hope when he pulled one back in the 55th minute. Slater wasted a pen at 64, before Lucy made 3-3 and Slater 4-3 within two minutes. We were in control after that, creating chances at 73&75 and wasted two gigantic chances at 82&89 min. It was a thrilling game to watch, but a bit painful for me when we were behind^^

well done lorre ...gr8 result m8 :)

:) the 2:1 result against France in my opinion is to kind to them,they only had 2 clear chances where as I feel we could have scored on about 8 of ours, the true test will be next week at the World Cup,will dosimeter scouting tomorrow after work, then pick a formation on Wednesday with tactic. Hopping toget a bit of discussion going in the association so any ideas or questions please let me know ;)

England u21 is playing Moldova tomorrow in the u21 World Cup opener. The last few days daza has surely been making plans on how to defeat the opponents, give a supporting comment or a well meant tip on how to win it on national association.

Next up for England is a qualifier vs Norway. It every bit as tough a game as the one against Israel last week. Squads are pretty much the same strenght, Norways strikers and goalie a little bit sharper but difference very small. A victory will give us a WCQ dream start and we surely play to take the three points. Norways style of play a bit different than Israel so need to do some scouting and probably some adjustments. We`ve used 4 different tactics in our first two games som not to easy for them to predict our moves. Sometime during friday the squad will be posted at the National association along with some words.

Thanks Lorre :)

The team, tactic and gossip is all in the association, the link to tomorrow game against Moldova has been posted kindly by Lorre in the post above, so as always, please leave your predicted scores for the game. i'm hopping for a really good game, so well worth a watch. :)

Yeahh, good start for dazas u21! Congratz^^

Yes a very good start :) they played differently to how i planned, however they really only had 1/2 decent chances and the rest was from outside the box, where we had about 6/7 good chances. So it was a fair result.

so now all we need is a win from one of the last 2 games in the group and we are in the last 16 :)

p.s. Benning had the game of his life today :) 34 mins in, he was god like ;)
Vale won 75% of his duels with the defence, just got unlucky with the ball into the box, (and hit the post himself)
Amey played the best pass i have seen from england at U21 level what nearly got us a goal.

SPOILER ALERT!



































Fekking h... Feeling bitter right now. Despite Gerry getting a red card already at 21st min we controlled the game and our 1-0 lead was perfectly deserved. After 85 Duffield was sent off and they scored from the penalty, in sokker about 10% are converted and i had to happen today. At this time we had changed tactic and with Gerry and Duffield gone we had used the conditional order and it left our right side defence open the last minutes. They broke through there and scored another one right at the end to nick it 2 goals to 1. Undeserved according to myself but that`s the way it is. The margins evens out over time and will tilt in our favor later on...
Watch the game, enjoy the drama & have a nice saturday folks (^_^)

Damn unlucky m8 ...no probs keep up the good work and we will be ok...

Ooooof. Nt Losing to Norway.......

Good work with u21s.

Thank you :) and the NT got really unlucky with getting two red's. even with the sending off's i felt we had some good possession and made our fair chances in the game.
