Asunto: National Team
Whilst we've been having a discussion on youth pulls, it kind of made me interested a bit.
I therefore went looking at my youth pulls since I came back at the beginning of 2020. I've pulled 71 that I can account for and of those 71, only 8 have had estimated talents below 4. I cut off anything negative or less than 2.5 to account for errors of having influential points due to not being in the youth school long enough, so really I'm looking at those in the 3-4 talent approx window.
Of those 8, only 5 exist in the game still, 2 of which are in the U21 squad currently and 1 that will be shortly (Crampton, Greenwood and Groom). I still have 1 of them (Cooke) but will be expecting to sack him given age and skill distribution wasn't particularly good and the 5th is well in a team that doesn't seem to be particularly consistent with training him (Lazaridis) and would be well out of the picture by now (if he wasn't when he was pulled to begin with).
I happened to extend it out a bit further with approx talent ranges and number of players that I calculate fall into each bracket. That being said, these are approximations and probably could be quite different to actual talents either way (especially as for the most part I've had incredible youth coach and a lot that don't end up playing for the junior side).
2-4 - 8 players
4-5 - 7 players
5-6 - 14 players
6-10 - 22 players
10+ - 12 players
So even in that next group there's only 2 players (of the 7) still in the game, and neither will get anywhere. Unfortunately, one of those is still in my side as he was pulled recently but had an unfortunate skill distribution which effectively ended his chances right there.
Also haven't checked my own current group yet to be pulled to see where they lie.
Mostly meaningless here because you can have great skill distributions and age but not so good talent and also the opposite, good talent and nothing else. Guess it shows really how a lot of the youth pulls just come down to luck and the more you manage a school the higher the chances of getting the luck required to feed the NT system. However, it's easy to fall into a trap of not actively managing the youth school and end up keeping players that perhaps one shouldn't have bothered keeping. I guess that's probably the part where smaller communities need to be really on top of in order to bring about any kind of growth to the NT level. There's been a lot I've kept I ideally wouldn't have other than I didn't have anything better or they were high enough levels that perhaps a good distribution may have given them the boost in chances for NT representation.

Australia - Nederland 0:1
It was close to make suprise, we didn't shot penalty, and lost a goal 3 minutes before end of a game :/
Good news is that we probably do not lose ranking points, or lose only few.

Great result against a very strong opponent rating in the 80's
Almost.!!! I hope Australia can be more effrftive after some time. Mybfaith is on jim/julian
I’m not sure pressing against a better side also pressing is particularly wise. Don’t think it gave us any chance of keeping scores respectable there.
Bulgaria - Australia 8:0
What can I say - sorry :/
I thought that it will works like against Netherlands. For next time I will prepare better the team.

These things happen, it's all about learning from the mistake and improving next time
Ups! Be carefull next time!
The Bulgarian prepared the match carefully! He watched your matches and saw that you used the line of defenders in the same position.
And the fact that in the club matches you haven't changed your tactics for a long time, confirmed the fact that you won't do it for the national team either.

There's no point in comparing club and NT teams. This is a totally opposite style of managing these two, especially if you focus on training youths for a great profit and showing your best skills while conducting the NT. It's doubling the fun, cause you can do two best things that give satisfaction in this game at the same time - watching juniors bloom on green Thursdays at your club and minutely analyzing NT opponents to provide the best tactics and climb up the ranks.
Not defending anyone, just proving a point on my own experience.

Nah there’s always things you can learn by watching the club matches too if you have the ability with plus. Everyone has certain quirks with things that they will by default resort to in a tactic. These things are exploitable because often the manager themselves doesn’t realise they do something regularly. Any additional information you can gain is useful.
If they do try something completely different in NT that’s more than just a slight formation shift and they’ve never experimented with it before then that first iteration might be leaky and exploitable in itself.

It think we have a misunderstanding over here. It doesn't relate to any of my words at all.
We disagree very often but actually I'm starting to get used to it.
