What about the captain's post?

I have contacted Vlady and said I am happy to do it. However, they can't do it until Monday so the team will have to look after itself this weekend.

OK. Then BronteFlynn will be back?

3-4-3 line-up and very low importance? It will be very hard...

0-0 draw v India

Lucky result with very low importance and strange line-up.

Yes, a few players out of position too.

Good luck in the future

The U20 team went down 1-0 to Germany overnight:

Against a team ranked number 7 in the world, that wasn't a bad result. I was quietly hoping that they might have looked at our previous games, which were all played on very low intensity, and drop their own intensity a bit, allowing us to score an upset. But they were too clinical for that.

The bad news is the squad hasn't been selected all that well so we have some holes which won't be able to be corrected this season. But I will start trying to identify a suitable squad for next season.

The good news is, I am looking for an assistant. If anyone out there has an interest in being a national team manager in the future, contact me by private mail and we can work on the task together.

You are right, this is not a bad result. But I think, this is a very offensive lineup. Maybe you should try a little bit more defensive lineup, if you play against a stronger team.

Not a bad result against Germany. Too bad they didn't get caught out with energy. Unfortunately, I don't think there are that many good players to fix the squad... With such a small number of Aussie teams, we don't have much choice for the National squads...

Fair point. But I was trying to spring an upset so felt that was the best formation in the circumstances.

The U20s held a stronger Chinese Taipei outfit to a scoreless draw overnight:

I am quietly confident we take the points against Portugal next week

Congratulations!
