The pots:

 

who qualifies for worlds if korea gets top 4?

 

Then a secondary knock-out tournament would be held among the four losing teams in the quarter finals, and the winner of that cadet tournament would qualify.

 

#AFCU19 Group A A1 Bahrain A2 Thailand A3 Korea Republic A4 Saudi Arabia

 

lol Thailand. They're gonna go all out on us to get that revenge lol

 

Be funny if we knock them out in the group stage even though we don't have to, lol.

 

we are going to beat them while destroying them physically. Then soon afterwards they are going to accuse us of cheating.

 

Preliminary (?) roster is out for the js cup

Once again, Cho Young-wook is the youngest of the team being the only 1999 player.

 

i have like zero faith that ahn iksoo would select/nurture the correct prospects. i dont think ive ever placed this much doubt on an underage coach before, not lee gwangjong, not choi jinchul, not even kim sangho. nothing he does is convincing

 

Ehh Kim Sang Ho was amongst the worst imo.. if only we had LGJ back

 

He's probably the one person in Korea that would use an out of nowhere American third division based midfielder for all 3 matches.

 

The U-18 KNT will be managed by Jung Jung-yong. He managed various youth NT's including the U-15 which played in the qualifications to AFC U-16 Champs and had Lee Seung-woo making a buzz. Then he went to Daegu and came back to KFA.
Lee Seung-woo is expected to be called up for the friendlies which will see him reunited with coach Jung.

Few days old but Suwon JS Cup preparation

 

No Kim Jung Hwan / Kang Ji Hoon

 

France's JS Cup squad: http://www.fff.fr/equipes-de-france/6/u19/derniere-selection
Japan's JS Cup squad: http://www.jfa.jp/eng/news/00009715/

Not sure where I can find Brazil's...

 

Will all games be broadcasted on Korean TV or just Korea's ?

 

probably all of them, I watched Belgium v Uruguay last time around lol

 

Thanks. France is sending a very strong roster, despite Dembélé's absence, a lot of these players already get significant playing time in L1.

 

Here's Brazil squad if anyones interested



And the players taking a photo with the mascot of the tournament

 

Jean Kevin Augustin was listed in the FFF squad sheet (from the link I posted) but he is actually not going to be playing. He is in France for some youth tournament final.



Batelli says: "We are without 7 important players. But players who have come here are players doing well in the French league. We are going to play to our best of abilities."
France are preparing for the Euro U-19 Championships in July.
