Great stuff WW.

Looked superb in my international debut (I know it was only the under 23's but still, great game).

Can't see me leaving Sweden too soon, doubt there'll be many scouts watching the Second tier of Swedish football. Going to have to drag my team back up into the top division. KUTGW.

See, go away for a day and it all falls apart, miss one call up, get a second, no game time and then, I get injured and miss another shot at some fixtures, EGADS, this has been a rough first season for me.

Hopefully things will turn around once my knee is better.

Peace

Turkmenistan v Kyrgyzstan

Sat 30th May: The Stanlies Cup 2nd Leg

Line Ups

Mark Lawrenson decides to field an unchanged first 11 for the 2nd Leg, so 10 of the superkids start with Freealdinho and Halali on the bench. Alan is captain.

David Pleat decides also to stick with the same 11 that lost in the 1st Leg, Ali Obeid, Rossini and Gonzalez on the bench. Swinson is captain.

TV Opinion

My opinion: I think Turkmenistan will win this leg, but I think Kyrgyzstan will score and I can't see Turkmenistan then winning by the 3 clear goals they would need to lift The Stanlies Cup.

9 minutes gone and Alan has a shot from a tight angle on the right, well saved by Maldinov.

Scramble in the Kyrgyzstan penalty area but Turkmenistan fail to get a clear sight of goal and it is cleared to touch.

In the 29th minute, long goal kick by Lui, Azeryk wins the flick on and Alan is through on goal, but Maldinov agains makes a good save diving to his right. From the resultant corner, Turkmenistan counter attack, Atas running with the ball from the halfway line, shooting but hitting the post. However the ball rebounds off the post across the 6 yard box and Stelios is there to tap it home. 1-0.

36th minute, Atas plays a great ball from deep on the left flank, but Stelios heads wide from 10 yards out.

HT: Turkmenistan 1 v 0 Kyrgyzstan

Half Time Match Stats

Half Time Player Ratings

Rossini replaces Chaoconov and Alan is replaced by Freealdinho at half time.

Freealdinho has his first shot from 25 yards, but it goes high and wide.

Mass substitutions on both sides on around the hour mark:

Turkmenistan - off goes Swinson, Stelios and Libertinho. Gonzalez, Ali Obeid and another comes on.

Kyrgyzstan - Ryan and Professor Frink are the notable ones to go off. Halali comes into the mix.

Tomaldinho and Dumats are subbed off after 70 minutes, as are Azeryk and Taphouse for Kyrgyzstan.

Turkmenistan continue to attack but no notable chances as far as the 75th minute.

86th minute and Bartinho's cross from the left is headed by Freealdinho, but again saved by Maldinov.

1st minute of injury time and Atas has seemingly broken away from the defenders and bares down on the goal, but at the last moment Birkinaldo comes in with a great last ditch tackle and saves Kyrgyzstan.

UEFA Cup

Winner: Feyenoord

Runner Up: PSG

Champions League

Winner: Bayern Munich

Runner Up: Lyon

International Scene

After an initial lull in the amount of fixtures to the 2 teams, both Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan have had several games so far in 2007 and with Olympic Games and possibly World Cup 2010 (yes thats right - they start em early in Asia) still to come in 2007 and into 2008 it could be a busy internationl period for the superkids.

The 2007 Stanlies Cup was won by Kyrgyzstan 2-1 on agg, so well done to them - I'm sure Turkmenistan will be even keener in 2008 to win it back off of them.

Kyrgyzstan

Most Caps: 3 caps - 8 players (All time record stands at 18 caps).

Most Goals: 2 goals - Azeryk, Bill

Turkmenistan

Most Caps: 3 caps - 12 players (All time record stands at 30 caps).

Most Goals: 1 goal - Stelios

Current Ability - June 2007

Top 3 Summary:

1. Turkus Mendieta

2. Selim Atas

3. Salman Al-Dahash

Bottom 3 Summary:

3. Freealdinho

2. Elfdog

1. Ryan

and finally...

Walcott's Wonderkids Player of the Year 2007

After deliberating over the options, I drew up the following shortlist:

Freealdinho - goalscoring exploits, admittedly for Torquay but still a good effort.

Abdullah Mohammed Ali Obeid - Tremendous goal scoring ability at Cheltenham and score a hatful for the U23s in the Olympic qualifiers.

Azeryk - goalscoring exploits in The Stanlies Cup winning them Kyrgyzstan the cup.

and the winner is... Abdullah Mohammed Ali Obeid, consisting good for club and country scoring goals at all levels. Well done to him icon14.gif

Don't think that just because all 3 in the shortlist were all strikers that that will always be the case, just felt they deserved a mention more than the others. De Santiago, Maldinov and Davo were close to getting in the shortlist.

Haha, yeah just noticed that.

Also the fact that you picked up 2 red cards in the league, yet only committed 5 fouls! You have aggression of 17 and tackling of 2, probably just means that you tackle like Paul Scholes! icon_biggrin.gif

I think the player ability score (current player ability in this case) is just a marker for how good a player is relative to everyone else in the game.

How precisely it is worked out I don't have a clue - SI have probably dreamt up some huge formula to calcylate it. However, I would imagine it takes into account all the hidden stats as well as the visible ones, as well as factoring in things such as age etc.

I would say that if Freealdinho is playing regularly this coming season there is a good chance that he will be selected for player cam icon14.gif

In the 1st season I could only really pick players who were actually playing regularly for their clubs. This season as everyone should be playing a lot more, I can be more selective about who I choose, but far be it for me to say that the more regular posters to this thread may have a slightly greater chance of their players getting selected for player cam icon_wink.gif

Player Cam Match Report

Sat 6th July: Khimki (16th) v (14th) Amkar - league match

Ghoolbi Dumats is on the bench for this game. Amkar line up in a 3-5-2 formation.

Very very dull first half, only 2 shots between both teams.

HT: Khimki 0 v 0 Amkar

With one of the 1st shots on target in the whole game, Khimki take the lead in the 76th minute.

Amkar change to a 3-4-3 formation in response and it works as Amkar win a penalty in the 80th minute which is duly dispatched.

Dumats Intro

Dumats is then brought on at left back for the alst 10 minutes as Amkar go to a 4-2-4 formation.

Nothing exciting happened in the last 10 minutes.

World Rankings - July 2007

After a really quiet month in June when hardly any countries moved up or down, this month everything went beserk!! There were several countries around the world moving up 40 or 50 places! The biggest rise went to Malaysia, who climbed a ridiculous 57 places in one month to go to 95th in the world. icon_eek.gif

Kyrgyzstan up 5 places to 120th. icon14.gif

Turkmenistan up 17 places to 143rd. icon14.gificon14.gif

This gave me an idea of seeing where the 5 other 'stans' are in the world at the moment:

1. Uzbekistan 45th

2. Kazakhstan 101st

3. Kyrgyzstan 120th

4. Tajikistan 127th

5. Turkmenistan 143rd

6. Pakistan 158th

7. Afghanistan 175th

So still a long way to go before either team can be crowned best 'stan' in the world.

Player Cam report on Dumats from Sat will follow.

Player Cam Match Report

Sat 23rd July: Dinamo Moscow (4th) v (14th) Amkar - league match

Dumats starts on what appears to be his favoured position of late - the bench icon_wink.gif

12 minutes in and Amkar score with the first shot of the game, a belter from 20 yards.

Dinamo pin Amkar back into their own half, but on 29 minutes with virtually everyone in the Amkar penalty area, the ball is cleared to the half way line where a Dinamo defender massively underhits a pass back to the keeper and its all to easy for the Amkar striker who gets to the ball first and slots it away.

HT: Dinamo Moscow 0 v 2 Amkar

Dumats Intro

Dumats comes on at half time for an injured striker as Amkar go into their 4-5-1 formation.

Surprisingly, Dinamo offered nothing in the second half and a couple of good challenges by Dumats sums up Amkar's defence in this game - solid.

FT: Dinamo Moscow 0 v 2 Amkar

I have to say I didn't expect Koppers to progress that soon. Already with Chelsea.

The best thing with this is that you can have a lot of fun with the sign up also as a leftback icon_smile.gif

Looking forward to see how the first season at Chelsea will be.

And hopefully Koppers will be picked for the national team!

Great work and super updates.

Well done WW.
