shaunvamos Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 A goal from our left wing back in each leg was enough to send us through. This is an amazing opportunity for us to progress. Vitoria will probably prove too strong for us, but we have proven we can beat Trnava and Lokomotiv Moscow aren't completely unbeatable either.

shaunvamos Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 Our best performance. We kept things really tight, and would have had a win over Lokomotiv if we didn't concede a ridiculous own goal. Things are getting better and better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacchi Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Definitely not an easy challenge, but the light is visible by the end of the tunnel! I hope within the next 2-3 seasons you will be able to reach the "spring" season of national football:) Good luck! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunvamos Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 2035 Andorra National Team Review I know I've said this a lot recently, but our best year yet. A win against Austria in an excellent match, and a draw against Denmark. Even against Germany we held our own for a good part of the game. We are rewarded with a EURO Playoff semi final against Finland, in what I am viewing as an extremely winnable game. Best Eleven Germán Martínez Lucas Rodríguez - Pedro Da Mota - Adrián Rudiez 12H Manuel Jesús Jiménez 10A - Pedro Sellés - Iñigo Romero 9G* - Ángel Fanjul 12A Damián Cruz 8A Ángel Luis González - Cédric Legrand Best Eleven Club of Origin Jeunesse d'Andorre (France): 2 (0) Juventud de Andorra (Spain): 3 (2) Juventude de Andorra (Portgual): 1 Joventud d'Andorra (Andorra): 5 (4) Leganes (Spain): 0 (1) An interesting thing to note is that the player from Leganes supposedly came through our system, but I have no record of him ever playing or even being a part of the youth intake. It's very perplexing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With this playoff we are two steps away from our first international competition, but I think two steps are one step too far at this point in time.

shaunvamos Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 2036 Youth Intake 2 players with a legitimate shot of making it here. He looks excellent, but he's in a position I don't use. Maybe try him at AM. He will make a fine WB. Another possible WB, they're always welcome seeing as they are the players that get tired the quickest.

shaunvamos Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 I said it was winnable, and the team proved me right. We went up 3-0 and they only really started threatening when our wingback had to be taken off injured. This is the best draw we could've asked for. We won't get a better chance to qualify here.

shaunvamos Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 YES! Although we did our best to lose it, spending a good hour or so with one less player. I was on the verge of throwing things when they scored twice in the 80s, but we held our nerve, and you know what that means...... We will probably get a whipping, but getting there is the main thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaunvamos Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 2035/36 Season Review We cap off our 10th straight league win with an undefeated season, in which we both dominated in attack and defence. Best Eleven Darío Ochoa 17B Gerard Bravo 9D - Adrián Rudiez 12H - Abel Martínez 14G Manuel Jesús Jiménez 10A - Iñigo Romero 9G* - Álvaro Navarro 6A - Manuel Jesús Jiménez 10A Juan Carlos Santos 13C Javier Guillén 9A - Tony Hubert 14A Andorran Clubs in Europe Lusitans UE Santa Coloma Encamp Poor results, but pretty bad luck with the draws. Youth of Andorra Performances Juventude de Andorra (Portuguese 3rd Tier) Juventud de Andorra (Spanish 3rd Tier) Jeunesse d'Andorre (French 4th Tier) Whilst Jeunesse were promoted, they only did so by being the highest placed team that wasn't a reserve side, so I reckon they'll be straight back down.

shaunvamos Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 Andorra EURO 2036 Squad Goalkeepers If you remember my yearly NT posts you'll remember Martinez, and at 28 he has plenty of playing time left, he could notch up the 150 before he's done. Joventud's own Ochoa also shows me that the future is bright in the keeper area, at 17 he's the second best keeper in the nation. Centre Backs Our CBs are probably the youngest section of the squad, but with youth comes a nice fresh element. Right Wing Back Jimenez is just awesome, and he comes into the tournament in career best form, while Ramirez offers a handy backup, just as he does for his club side. Left Wing Back Fanjul also comes into the tournament riding a wave of form, and Narvaez is a handy backup to both sides on the wing. Defensive Midfield This is possibly where we are weakest, but there is still some quality here. Navarro is back in the squad after a resurgent year in which he featured massively for us, but our two non-Andorran based players will most likely be the starters. Attacking Midfielders Pelayo is our only genuine AM, but our strikers can also play there in a pinch. Strikers This is where the cream truly rises to the top. Our two star strikers have been in the side since the beginning of the save, and although they are on the wrong side of thirty they are still far and away our best players. Santos offers good cover as a sub, whereas Guillen and Hubert are extremely lucky in the fact that their career best form may not help their cause in making an appearance for us.

shaunvamos Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 EURO 2036 Preparation Matches A brilliant win over Israel and a routine victory over the Maltese. I have a good feeling about the tournament, especially after the Israel win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunvamos Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 VAR: 1 Andorra: 0 VAR: 2 Ukraine: 1 Andorra: 0 VAR: 2 Andorra: 1 Belgium: -1 The VAR giveth and the VAR taketh away. Will that one win be enough? No although I think we were royally screwed over here. Why should Wales go through when we have the exact same criteria? Actually never mind that. Three time defending champions England exit without a win. As hosts, no less. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunvamos Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 That was a phenomenal performance from the team, but I've got to be honest, it took a lot out of me. I think I will put this save on hiatus for now, I have an idea brewing that is an inspiration from one of the best career threaders out there. It may take me a while, it may not. But this save will be returned to once that is sorted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
