euhm, Laur3ns...
you are supposed to organize some scrimmages for the U21 after your competitive season... time to start selecting the next generation U21 plyaers, and play em in scrimmages. common mate, wake up! being a representative coach, be it U21 or NT, means you always got work. it's not the just competitive games that are important ( well those are important for the rankings etc) the scrimmages still give the owners of U21 players some merchandise. not playing gives em 0 merchandise, which i doubt they'll be very happy with ;) so wake up and get some scrimages set. England, italy, Slovenija, Israel, etc...
those are all teams that should be able to go a long distance in the consolation tourney. never a bad idea to get a scrimmage with them and check out their strength for next season. that way, you got some data on them, and you can still issue adjustments to managers to cover up some deficiënties ;) now would also be a great time to gather your U21 staff and have a talk with them ( which means i'll have to be hanging around too probably to talk about some players training for the NT). but you are the U21 coach, so it's your job to contact your staff and find an hour to get as many as possible together so that you can have a chat about the futur of the U21.
