Welcome to the Canada U21 - Season 31 thread. I will update this thread with weekly pops, game recaps and other U21 news.
Last season we had a bit of a rough go. After a decent first round where we went 5-1 only losing to eventual champs Argentina, we only managed to go a disappointing 2 - 3 in the next round, coming in 4th. It was interesting unil the last game where a win against Venezuela (who we beat in the 1st round) would have meant we had a chance at Semis. but it wasn't to be. Again a big thanks to all the managers to took time to train their players and keep the minute management in good form.
This season we are hoping to win more games and improve on the performance last season. A simple look at the first 12 players on this season's roster will show we have got some bigger salaried guy, though the back end doesn't show as big a jump in TSP...hopefully the primaries will do more justice at U21.
Quick Pops update:
Week 1 - 12 Players - 7 pops
Hopefully we can continue to average more than .5 a pop, per player all season. Each player should be able to get 4 - 7 pops depending on what is being trained for the season. Take a moment to think about where those pops should go to make your player a beast by season end!
Still 6 spaces open this season and while I can see the stats of the players already on the team, I can't for those who didn't make it yet. I'm hoping managers who have a good 21 year old will keep me updated on pops progress and only play their players 60 minutes per week to ensure good game shape.
