Asunto: [U21] Tournament & friendly
This time the problem was our other striker. Although he was in top form, if you have time, watch the 52nd and 53rd minutes and you will understand what I mean. This position is actually the summary of this season.
USA U21 vs Nederland U21
Frankly speaking, the match we play today is not very important. In fact, we do not have a squad that would qualify for the World Cup next season.
If we beat the Netherlands today and finish second in the group and qualify for the World Cup, it would be unfair to both the Netherlands and the USA U21 because we would concede every match. If I give examples from next season's squad, you will understand better.
Don't get me wrong. I didn't give up in the Netherlands match today. My important defender was injured in the US Cup yesterday. I will now move a midfielder to defense. Despite this, I will do my best to beat the Netherlands.
Examples of next season's squad. (u20)
Ari Myernick, Yaş: 20 GK
Landon Archibald, Yaş: 20 DEF
Herb Harrison, Yaş: 20 MID
Dakota Hodge, Yaş: 20 ATT
These players are the best. Especially the goalkeeper, can you imagine? They will make us miserable in the World Cup.
Right now, I have only one player who will play in the World Cup, defender Harry McCormick, Age: 20
That's why I won't be sad about today's defeat against the Netherlands.
The reason for the arrangement is that the players did not receive permission from their clubs.

did players' owners gave permission for sharing players' skills?
USA U21 - Nederland U21 2:3
With this defeat, we no longer have a chance in the World Cup. But I am not upset, as I mentioned on the previous page, there is no such team as U20 USA. It is clear that participating in the World Cup will be pointless.
But the only thing I am upset about is that we have fallen to the 3rd pot in the rankings. I will try to get out of here in the remaining matches.

I have no doubt you are overachieving with such a limited squad! I did not realize how limited our U21 squad was until I saw your recent post and Adi's TL list striker Cecil Norton who was barely above x3 Formidable. Unfortunately it seems like we are going through an odd transitional period. Fortunately it seems like we have some future upcoming talent. Teddy Tyler seems wonderful!
Unfortunately I have had very poor luck with YS pulls in the past 3 seasons. Anyone remotely promising ended up with 5+ talent. With the weakness of our current team my outcoming GK may end up playing 2+ seasons for our U21. I currently only have 1 field player with U21 potential but several with NT potential. Stu Horn has excellent talent but is well behind the curve. I haven't even had any 16 yo's who's talent was worth testing.
I've sold a few players such as Worthington and Ashcroft might have been u21 players but following their value it seems like their training may be sadly falling behind.
Currently 10/12 ML teams have YS with 15+ in each program. Tides turn quickly and hopefully there will be greater talent available for your use in a season or so!
Ironically Islander's Dakota Hodge may be our strongest player

on this tangent, I need to give Mustafaatik credit for taking my input, which didn't really match his views on player development, and not only call up Hodge but also play him.
a couple pages ago my entire gripe was he wasn't even on the roster, which didn't make sense to me, especially given the stated weakness of the side.
This is the internet and his ego could have just left things status quo, and no one else would think anything of it.
Hopefully he can continue to be useful next season. My one semi good player out of youth school ever.
Sebek: seems you've inherited by YS disease now, sorry

I had two clear forwards this season.
Cecil Norton and Taylor Taylor.
Frankly, I never considered Dakota Hodge in the squad. After Cecil Norton was sold, his form and tactical discipline dropped. He could not get any training at his new club and could not develop. Unfortunately, since the 2 American forwards I trained were still very inadequate, I had to play Hodge. I must admit that with his performance, Taylor performed better than Taylor, although he was far behind him. I am not egoistic, I can turn back from my mistakes.
Tad → mustafaatik did players' owners gave permission for sharing players' skills?
I hid the player properties by taking your warning into consideration, but I guess no one saw it because I shared the player properties in Turkish. If you don't know Turkish, there was no problem.

This match was the biggest crowd in our 20-year Sokker history. It was a shame to lose with 70,000 fans.
