Re: U-19s Follow progress on this site: http://www.fifa.com/en/comp/index/0,1534,U19W2004,00.html?comp=U19W&year=2004 Thailand, Nov 10-27 , US defending champions. Probably winner between Canada, US, Brazil or Germany. My bet is that Canada meets Germany again (they are in same Group) in final, Canada winning natch.

Tiny Terror Aysha! Canada Blanks Russia 2-0 The Canadian Women’s Under-19 Team today defeated Russia 2-0 at Karon Stadium in Phuket, Thailand in the first of a two game warm up series before beginning the 2002 FIFA Under-19 Women’s World Championships against Australia on Wednesday, November 10th. Both Aysha Jamani and Deanna Everrett scored for Canada. Everrett also earned her first cap with the U-19 team. Canada will play their final preparatory friendly against Russia on Saturday, November 6th at 10:00 am local time.

Wanna see a pic of "Kara Lang"? http://www.canada.com/sports/soccer/story.html?id=4df0c676-a0cd-4349-9c24-9e27eff84bb1
Kara is sure looking more like Aysha every day. Getting real hard to tell them apart. Spooky thing is how much Zurrer and Lang look alike from a distance. Faces are quite different. Very similar size, build and hair style/color. So far no big deal, but the way they carry themselves, how they move and their mannerisms in general are so similar you'd think they were twins.
Fourteen-year-old impresses as women prep for world U-19 soccer tourney Updated at 16:31 on November 4, 2004, EST. (CP) - Young phenom Sydney Leroux is pressing her case for an expanded role for Canada at the women's world under-19 soccer championship in Thailand. The 14-year-old from Surrey, B.C., turned heads Thursday in a 2-0 warmup win over Russia in Phuket after coming on in the second half. "She had a big, big impact," Canadian coach Ian Bridge said from the team hotel. Leroux played a major part in one goal, getting free at the top of the box and hitting a shot that bounced off the underside of the bar and may have dropped in. Teammate Deana Everett, a 16-year-old from Oakville, Ont., got credit for the goal, knocking in the bouncing rebound. "Literally every time she got the ball, she was dangerous," Bridge said of Leroux, who only turned 14 in May. "They couldn't handle her speed. She is so brave and aggressive, and wants to score goals. "She's a handful. I turned to Bob (assistant coach Bob Birarda) on the bench and said 'I would not want to play against her."' Canada, runner-up at the inaugural tournament two years ago in Edmonton, opens play Wednesday against Australia in Bangkok. Leroux would not be the first Canadian phenom at the championship. Kara Lang was a 15-year-old upstart in 2002. Now Lang and Brittany Timko, the other returning veteran, lead the squad and have played a combined 77 times for the senior side. Bridge has options up front. While he does not have the luxury of a scoring machine like Christine Sinclair, the 2002 tournament MVP and scoring leader with 10 goals, he has plenty of talent and can line up his team several ways. Jodi-Ann Robinson, a 15-year-old from Richmond, B.C., started Thursday as a lone striker up front with support from attacking midfielders Timko and Josee Belanger. Timko can also play up front. Jamani is another option, as are Leroux and Everett. Leroux and Everett were among the last four players chosen to the 21-woman roster. Bridge had looked to the youngsters to perhaps make an impact off the bench, but their stock rises as the tournament nears. "This is a team where everybody is pushing hard for starting spots, making my job on the one hand very tough, but on the other hand very easy, to put a good team on the field," said Bridge. Against Russia, Bridge was impressed by his backline of Lang, Tanya Dennis, Emily Zurrer and Katie Radchuck in front of goalkeeper Stacey VanBoxmeer. Canada comes into the tournament among the favourites, having beaten the 2002 champion United States in the CONCACAF qualifying tournament. That was supposed to earn the Canadians a good draw, but the potential reward was somewhat nullified when a disappointing Germany finished a surprise second in European qualifying and joined Canada, Australia and host Thailand in Group A at the 12-country tournament. The Canadians left Vancouver early Monday, arriving in Phuket via Hong Kong. The long haul was eased by the fact that the team's training base in on the ocean. "We hit the beach about 30 seconds after arriving at the hotel," Bridge said. Notes: Another exhibition game against Russia is planned for Saturday. ... Bridge has chosen his captains but has yet to announce who they are. He normally has three: a match captain, a training captain and a "social" captain. He is waiting until Saturday when defender Robyn Gayle, the last player to join the squad, arrives from the University of North Carolina. The Canadian Press, 2004
Here's link to all the squad lists: http://www.fifa.com/documents/tournaments/wu19/U19_2004_tf-latest.txt
I was thinking of going to Thailand but, if i can get the game on TV in Canada, i rather go drive up north there ...
Ok, i will answer my Q myself, here you go RUUD, www.canadasoccer.com/eng/media/viewArtical.asp?Press_ID=1948
Player Pos. DOB Age VanBoxmeer, S GK 10-May-85 19.52 Dennis, Tanya D 26-Aug-85 19.22 Timko, Brittany M 5-Sep-85 19.19 Gayle, Robyn D 31-Oct-85 19.04 Is the cut-off Jan1/86 ?
The tourney begins with 4 games tomorrow (Nov 10 that is; today already in Thailand). Local time is exactly 12 hrs ahead of Eastern US time, so these games kickoff in the early morning hours in the Americas (late morning/early afternoon in Europe). Group A 17:00 Thailand vs Germany 19:45 Australia vs Canada Group B 17:00 Nigeria vs China 19:45 Italy vs Brazil
First two results are in and no surprises: Thailand 0 Germany 6 (10'-Mittag, 11',40'-Goessling, 16',23'-Da Mbabi, 43'-Laudehr) Nigeria 0 China 1 (77'-Zhang) Nice of Germany to ease up after halftime. BTW, there is a "Live Scorecard" for follow gamesing at fifa.com .
I have to disagree... For me, who had to attend his Kafka seminar during the first half and could only watch the second half in the local sports bar, it was more disappointing and frustrating than "nice". Oh well...
