Wow, has it been that long? First off, you remember a talented FCZ-junior called Raoul Mutter? He scooped all kinds of awards for both the youth FCZ squads and our U15/16 a while back. Anyway, a year a go FCZ U18 played Basel U18 and he got a REALLY bad injury and his promising carreer looks like it's over before it even started. Now to some positive things. Nassim Ben Khalifa, one of our very few striker talents, got his ASL debut for GC. Morganella will give his Serie A debut vs Torino, due to injuries in Palermo. The U19s beat EStonia with 6-0 in a friendly.
Re: Swiss Youth National Teams 2007/08 [R] The U18s beat Belgium in 2 friendlies a few weeks a go. The U17s are in the 2nd qualification phase for the EC. They beat Poland 1-0 a few days a go. They meat Slovenia tonight in the final game and they need to win by a few goals t pass Greece (lead by goal difference) who plays Poland.
Re: Swiss Youth National Teams 2007/08 [R] I think there were two matches yesterday, the U-21 beats the German U-20 2-0 (Nikci, Frei) and the U-19 beats Estonia 6-0
Re: Swiss Youth National Teams 2007/08 [R] the Swiss U-21 won 2-1 in Austria (Feltscher + Gavranovic scored)
Re: Swiss Youth National Teams 2007/08 [R] The U17s qualified for the European Championship yesterday with a 6-0 victory against Slovenia.
Re: Swiss Youth National Teams 2007/08 [R] Tough draw! France, Italy and Spain May 6th in Markranstädt (11.00 Uhr): Schweiz - Frankreich May 9th in Torgau (14.00 Uhr): Schweiz - Italien May 12th in Sandersdorf (11.00 Uhr): Schweiz - Spanien
Re: Swiss Youth National Teams 2007/08 [R] really tough. The French are usually very strong physically at this age already... But I'm very interested to know our own U-17 a bit better. There looks to be quite some potential in there ...
Re: Swiss Youth National Teams 2007/08 [R] Master list: http://www.football.ch/sfv/fr/veranstaltungen-sfv.aspx
Re: Swiss Youth National Teams 2007/08 [R] U16 with a 7-2(!) away-victory vs Sweden. Basel's Savic with 4 goals. This comes after a 5-1 defeat to the Czech Republic The U17s are playing France in the first game in the EC right now. I'll try to get the result asap EDIT: 1-0!! Ben Khalifa of course 1-1, 4 minutes before full time... FT It seems France were a bit more dangerous. But still, when is this nation going to learn how to defend a lead?
Re: Swiss Youth National Teams 2007/08 [R] and Spain-Italy finished 0-0, that result could work in our favour. Next game is vs. Italy on Saturday.
Re: Swiss Youth National Teams 2007/08 [R] U17 3-1 victory vs Italy! Nimeley 29, Goncalves 65, Kamber 74 with our goals. Italy's keeper got sent off in the 29th
Re: Swiss Youth National Teams 2007/08 [R] We're topping the table now as the only team in the group with a win. http://www.uefa.com/competitions/under17/standings/round=15207/group=701124.html Last game vs. Spain could be tricky since they must win. As the group might end with a few team on equal points, here's the official rules Equality of points at mini-tournaments 6.09 If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied to determine the ranking of the teams in question: a) Higher number of points obtained in the group matches played among the teams in question. b) Superior goal difference resulting from the group matches played among the teams in question. c) Higher number of goals scored in the group matches played among the teams in question. d) If, after having applied criteria a) to c), two teams still have an equal ranking, criteria a) to c) will be reapplied to determine the ranking of the two teams. If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria e) and f) will apply. e) Results of all group matches: 1. Superior goal difference. 2. Higher number of goals scored. f) Drawing of lots. 6.10 If two teams which have the same number of points and the same number of goals scored and conceded play their last group match against each other and are still equal at the end of that match, their final rankings will be determined by kicks from the penalty mark (Article 16) and not by the criteria listed under 6.09 a) to f). This rule is applicable if a ranking of the teams is required to determine the group winner (qualifying round and elite round) or the runners-up and the third-ranked team (qualifying round). 7 Drawing of lots 6.11 If on completion of a mini-tournament a draw is required, the lots are drawn in the teams’ hotel after the final match. The draw is made by the UEFA match delegate and the heads of delegation or team representatives must sign a document stating that they accept the result of the draw.
Re: Swiss Youth National Teams 2007/08 [R] http://www.uefa.com/competitions/under17/fixturesresults/round=15207/match=2001165/report=rp.html CH is through with a 0-0 draw. They now face Germany, Netherlands or on an outside chance the UK on 15 May.
Re: Swiss Youth National Teams 2007/08 [R] probably will be the Netherlands who are 0-1 behind against the Germans and as Turkey-England is still 0:0 after 40min
Re: Swiss Youth National Teams 2007/08 [R] here is the team http://www.football.ch/nm/de/U-17_Aufgeb_3112.aspx
Re: Swiss Youth National Teams 2007/08 [R] This hasn't been mentioned.. Our very talented U18s lost to Luxembourg 0-1. To our excuse, we were missing a bunch of key players. But still...
Re: Swiss Youth National Teams 2007/08 [R] I guess they were trying to keep up with the Senior National Team
Re: Swiss Youth National Teams 2007/08 [R] Loss to Netherlands 2-1. Too bad. They had a good run and beat some good teams. Here is the team that played in the loss. Siegrist Gonçalves (67e Tosetti) Chappuis Veseli Kamber Buess Nimeley Buff (74e Mijatovic) Xhaka Seferovic (41e Martignoni) Ben Khalifa.
Re: Swiss Youth National Teams 2007/08 [R] Also the Swiss U-15 team lost in Develier (JU) to Poland 0-1.
Re: Swiss Youth National Teams 2007/08 [R] The U19s looking very good in the 2nd phase of the EC qualifications. First a 3-1 win against Sweden and today they crushed Ireland with 6-1 The U21s bagan the 2011 EC qualification with a 2-1 win against Armenia. Derdiyok and Gashi with the goals. The other teams in the group are Turkey, Ireland, Georgia and Estonia. EDIT: We need a new thread
Re: Swiss Youth National Teams 2007/08 [R] the U-19 now qualified for the Euro with a 1-1 draw against Belgium in Belgium... Against Ireland, substitute Pasche scored twice and gave the assist for the 6th. I wonder for how long he will stay at Lausanne. Unsure whether he finishes school this summer ? And wondering if Man Utd is still interested
Re: Swiss Youth National Teams 2007/08 [R] We need a new thread, this still says 2007/08 Anyway, the U19 EC begins tomorrow. From a Swiss point of view this has to be the most interesting championship in a few years. 21.07.2009 um 17.00 Uhr England – Schweiz in Donetsk, Metalurgh Stadion 24.07.2009 um 17.00 Uhr Slowenien – Schweiz in Donetsk, Metalurgh Stadion 27.07.2009 um 19.00 Uhr Schweiz – Ukraine in Donetsk, Olympinsky Stadion Here's the squad http://www.football.ch/nm/de/Aufgeb_3108.aspx
Re: Swiss Youth National Teams 2007/08 [R] I think this should be a great tournament. Does anyone know if any websites will carry the matches? Mabye I can catch part while in office hours!
Re: Swiss Youth National Teams 2007/08 [R] Especially looking forward to seeing these guys. Orhan Mustafi: Has already shown promise and with Streller and Frei as his mentors I think he'll progress quite a bit. Fabio Daprela: A new guy for the left back slot is long overdue, he's got plenty of ASL experience. Francois Affolter: Came from nowhere and has kept his place in the YB starting XI for a whole year now. Daniel Unal: Usually outstanding in our youth teams. Surprised he didn't come thru at FCB last year. Alexandre Pasche: Maybe our biggest under 21 talent.
