Asunto: National Team

2007-09-01 12:32:11
Buuu.

About the bad luck - count me in with Eesti. Few extremely unlucky games, like with Nederland or even today with Hrvatska..
2007-09-01 12:35:16
we have many striker trainers atm and not enough midfield, defender and goalkeeper trainers :(. Eventually that's going to take it's toll on the NT.

We have nice defs in main team, so it's nice that we will strenghten our attack.

Quality finish from Dreger on the assist from Willis.

I don't know that our mids (Healy and Cunico) had the pace and stamina to do quite as much running as they did, but I don't know what else is available at U21 and it has to be awfully tempting to play Thompson and Willis I would imagine.

would be even more tempting to play Willis and Leijer except Leijer is constantly injured :p.

Yeah, at U21 level we don't have enough central midfielders, you'd expect that for most teams since most focus on passing/pm/pace/tech before looking at defender. Ideally Cunico is more of a defender but due to the lack of defensive midfielders has been moved to that role and I thought has produced for the team in that role. Was tempted to put Boutsianis in that role to sub with Healy when Healy tired but ended up deciding not to.

Will just have to take it out on Malaysia next week.

Settle down! ill have to use the best defenders Malaysia has on offer as my 2 choices
2007-09-01 13:19:40
yeah go for it, it's all cool :).
2007-09-01 13:58:39
I dislike that team, kept blocking Mitchell shots. and its the long range shots that he is good at
2007-09-01 14:24:56
You failed me Australia! You were supposed to get Sweden off our backs. There will be consequences to this... ;P
2007-09-01 14:35:30
nah they'll get off your backs and onto ours now :p. Seriously though I felt and still feel we outplayed them, just a lack of skill from a few of our players hurt us on the rebound.
2007-09-01 23:11:20
if you wanted them off your back you should've put NZ up to the task =p
2007-09-02 13:58:25
I think now that you started up that who trains who thread you'll see theres a lot of mids trainers and not quite so many of defenders.
2007-09-02 14:39:09
Probably with the same outcome ;D

Thx for a nice match anyway!

I suspect you'd beat New Zealand as well. Nevermind, Estonia will sort you out for me ;)
2007-09-04 22:01:45
We will do whatever it takes to get into the same VC qualifying group as U ;D
2007-09-04 22:11:40
You stay away from us!
