Vic Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 In contrast, here are the results of the UEFA 2007 U19 Championship that determined the 4 UEFA entries to the 2008 U20 WWC: First qualifying round Group 1 (SWE / FRA / FAR / KAZ) Group 2 (POL / ESP / ARM / LAT) Group 3 (ENG / BEL / EST / GRE) Group 4 (GER / AUT / MKD / GEO) Group 5 (NOR / NED / LTU / CRO) Group 6 (SUI / POR / TUR / HUN) Group 7 (UKR / WAL / MDA / ROU) Group 8 (SRB / DEN / AZE / NIR) Group 9 (SCO / RUS / SLO / ISR) Group 10 (IRL / ITA / SVK / BUL) Group 11 (CZE / FIN / BHZ / BLR) Second qualifying round Group 1 (ENG / CZE / AUT / UKR) Group 2 (FRA / IRL / NED / POR) Group 3 (GER / SCO / SWE / HUN) Group 4 (NOR / DEN / BEL / ROU) Group 5 (WAL / FIN / POL / RUS) Group 6 (ESP / SUI / ITA / SRB) Final tournament - Group phase Group GrpA (GER / NOR / DEN / ICE*) [*Host] Group GrpB (ENG / FRA / ESP / POL) Semi-finals (NOR / ENG) ** both qualified Semi-finals (GER / FRA) ** both qualified Final (GER / ENG) Champion (GER) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ref Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 quote:Originally posted by bjarne Kind of ridiculous when you think about it, the competition that the European teams are faced with and the number of high quality teams that get left at home, while having 3 CONCACAF teams making it, almost seems like a waste of time to even hold a qualifying tournament, with how far ahead Mexico, the US and Canada are, or should I say, how far the other CONCACAF countries are behind. Maybe CONCACAF could modify its qualification procedure and have 2 teams qualify between Canada, US and Mexico, and 1 team from the Caribian and Central American countries. That would be more fair and better representation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjarne Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Now that (a Caribbean/Central American qualifier) sounds like a good idea if this representation thing is about developing the games in all regions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjarne Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 2 representatives between Canada, Mexico and the US sounds a little more reasonable. If that extra spot being given to the Caribbean does get kicked around in the beginning in the name of exposure and development in those countries for the women's game and gives those countries a chance..why not? Don't you think it seems a bit ridiculous for the qualifying that the European countries have to go through and Canada, MEX and the US thumping the crap out of minnows like T and T and Nicaragua to punch their ticket to the World Cup? Australia seems to have survived and thrived actually having to battle for a spot in the Asian group and it actually gives a representative from the Oceania region like a New Zealand a chance to develop their game through going to world championship events.

red card Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 after watching various parts of both games, it appears the long ball style is gone - they're actually playing like a real football team. Though passing is still not crisp and finishing has been atrocious. Monica Lam-Fiest looks like she has potential to be on roster on senior team soon or even now. Filigno shows she also ball skills and Kaylyn Kyle also showed she has some moves. All 3 players with skillsets not truly seen on current senior team.

Vic Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Watched USA v. Cuba the other day... the Cubans have some players on the field who are the equivalent of a rec women's league player. The Americans are pretty complete, and Leroux put in the last half hour against Cuba (and TT... seems they like her pace late when opponents tire). She didn't look stellar, but she didn't look out of place on a strong side. Don't think their keeper has had to make a single save yet. We've put a considerable amount of time and effort into our program and it will be interesting to see how that pays dividends when we play the USA. i.e do we revert to a pretty version of pinball, or do we attempt to play the way we played through the group stage, and if we do, how well does it work.

Vic Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 US 4-0 Costa Rica in the 79th minute. Three subs gone, Leroux still on the bench. USA hasn't scored in 35 minutes. Pretty amazing CR can hold them to 7 shots and 2 corners from a program operating on a shoestring compared to North American juggernaut $$$ and prep.
