And in the elite round seedings, apparently Germany are not one of the top seed. It means, one of the seven top seed, will have a tough group. The elite round will consist of seven four-team groups; the section winners join Switzerland in the finals.

 

Germany and Iceland end often in the same group, these days!

Thanks! Looks like Denmark-Spain was a close affair.

 

U17
Group 6 (B&H hosts)

Bosnia&Hercegovina 0 - 4 Poland
(Tomasiak 9', Achcińska 24'(p), Filipczak 72', Glinka 80+4')

Keep an eye on Tomasiak (no.7) she's still raw but quickly emerging as future talent.


Austria 0 - 0 Turkey

Austrians with quite a stumble here (23 shots and no goals)

Let's see if history can be repeated. In 2013 Poland eliminated Austria in Elite round and later won U-17 Championship tourney.

 

U17
Group 6 (BiH hosts) 2nd matchday

Poland 2 - 0 Turkey
(Tomasiak 29'(p), Legowski 69')

Austria 3 - 0 Bosnia & Herzegovina
(Wagner 52', Freiser 75', Wurzer 80+1')


Group 7 (Germany hosts) 1st matchday

Germany 5 - 0 Azerbaijan
(Stegemann 8', Corley 20', Aehling 56', Fudalla 57', Bernhardt 76')

Iceland 2 - 1 Republic of Ireland
(Vilhjálmsdóttir 22'(p), Jónsdóttir 69' - Whelan 45')

Group 2 (France hosts) 1st matchday

Scotland 0 - 6 France
(Kazadi Ntambwe 31' 40+2', Revelli 44', Schmeler 60', Dufour 74', Roth 79')

Sweden 1 - 4 Finland
(Vuorinen 12' 60', Siren 13', Kantanen 80+1' - Lang 27')

 

Wow, I don't know anything about this age group in those countries, but this result seems quite unexpected to me!

 

Does anyone happen to know if these matches are live streamed?

 

Short match recap in French here

 

Thanks, it looks like Finland was squarely the best team, not a fluke or anything of the kind. That surprises me (especially given Sweden's tradition) but the article makes it clear nonetheless.

I didn't even remember Sandrine Soubeyrand was U-17 coach for France. How is she doing so far? Less criticized than in her last years in NT as a player under Bini?

 

Talking about beeing criticized - Sweden U-17 coach is Pia Sundhage...
