Hi everyone, my name is Krzysztof, I am 36 years old and I'm from Polish, the Planetarium for many years and for the first time in the Nation Cup.

I am glad that there is someone who pushes the game in this way makes such tournaments, it is always attractive, something more than just a friendly match.
Your goals and expectations for the Nations Cup?
My goal is of course out of the group, on paper I am weakest, I love to play with this position. I have a very attractive rivals, we can say that one of the favorites to win the event. I look forward to these matches makes me laugh like someone likes to play with the weak, because it will be easy, I like challenges, this is a challenge, fight!

III EDITION
RANKING: #25
PRESIDENT : Porinkarhu
MANAGER : Franz Beckenbauer
First of all can you tell us something about yourself?
Well..My name is Tiago, I'm 20 years old and I'm currently studying Mechanichal Engineering in Coimbra (I'll start the Masters next year!). Like most of the users in PM, i love football and my favourite team is "Académica", the portuguese cup winner this year (next year, we'll be in Europa league, after many many years being out!)
This is the third edition of U21-NC. For you is the third participation also and it means an essential event on U21 friendly season planification?
Absolutely! On the last year, we ended up being 3rd on this great tournament and gave us important points for the ranking. I think this tournament is absolutely decisive to the team, because can give a sense of competition to this "friendly season" and on the same time we can get very competitive matches.
What do you think about your group ?
I think it's even more competitive than last season! Almost everyone of us is fighting for the last place of pot number 2, so, it can be tremendously important for the final destination on the qualifys!
Your goals for this edition?
My goals is the usual..get 1st or 2nd place on the group. More than that will be hard, but if we can chieve this, we can eventually get enough points for position 22 on the ranking!
Favorites to win this edition ?
Poland, Greece and Hungary
Expectations for the qualifying round ?
Well..it will of course depend on the group. This year we have a weaker squad than last year, but I would love to get to the WC, specially because this might be my last year in Finland. However, it will be very very hard, specially if we cannot make a good friendly season..
In real life we have the Euro soon. For you which are the favorites to win and expectations for this event also?
Favourites it's Spain and Germany. Both have tremendous squads this year and we'll be very interesting to follow this two teams! About Portugal..we have two BIG issues that prevent Portugal from being a terrific team: A good striker and a good defensive midfielder. It's two very important positions, but we never know what might happen, at least we play good football!
Something else to add ?
Just keep going with this tournament Cure, I think it's becoming vital to many NT!
II EDITION
RANKING: #29
PRESIDENT : Porinkarhu
This is the second edition of Nations Cup. More teams, more fun expected for all. What are the reasons that made your team take part of this tournament?
Well U21 coach make decision do we join that Nations Cup or not.
For you which will be a good result to your team?
I say same than our manager Franz Beckenbauer: If we finish below the second place we want to win all other matches but if we are first or second it will depend on the opponent.
Favorites to win the Nations Cup?
Turkey and Romania.
Would you like to have and join in next editions of Nations Cup?
Well sure if our U21 manager want to join that.
Something else to add?
Nothing really.
MANAGER : Franz Beckenbauer
This is the second edition of Nations Cup. What do you think about this competition?
Well, I thougth the 1st edition was pretty good, but this second with the little improvements is very close to be perfect! Now we only need ADMs to see it and try to put something official o it
Do you think that the opponents are suited to that you usually planed in the friendly matches?
Well...on the 1st edition I ahd some bad luck with Greece, Serbia and Egypt on my group, so I guess with this "rankings system" is very very good, and oponents are just what I wanted!
What do you think about the rule of using only 3U21 players?
It's perfect. That's the same deal I would do in the friendly's
Your expectations for the Nations Cup?
I still do not know very well the other 3 teams, but with a weaker squad than last season I wanna do at least 1victory and 1draw. More than that will always be a victory!
And for the next qualifying rounds?
If I finish below the 2nd place, I want to win all the other matches! If I finish 1st or 2nd it will depend on the oponent..
Favorites to win Nations Cup?
The usuals..
Something else you want to add?
Continue your fantastic work Cure, I really love this idea of having a "little competition" in the friendly season!
thanks
I EDITION
RANKING: #27
PRESIDENT : Porinkarhu
MANAGER : Franz Beckenbauer
This is the first edition of 16 Nations Cup. What do you think about this idea?
I love the idea, it's like a little WC on the friendly's season. It gives a little more competitive feeling to the matches!
Do you think the cup could continue in future?
I think that 16 Nations Cup have all the possibilitys to continue in the future!
How they ran so far the friendly games of your team?
So far they ran pretty well, 3 matches against Malta, switzerland and Chile where we got 2 wins and one draw (against Chile).
Expectations for the 16 Nations Cup?
I do not have any expectations to get over the group phase (Serbia and Greece are too powerfull for me), but I want to know how the team will respond against teams from pot 1 and 2!
And for the qualifying rounds after this competition?
For the qualifying rounds after this competition, the objective is to put Finland in the 2nd pot on the next year. Meanwhile, if we get one of the weakest teams of the 2nd pot we can eventually have a little bonus of the 2nd place in the group stage and perhaps the WC qualification.. But it's still too soon to talk about that..
Favourites to win 16 Nations Cup?
Favourites? I think the usual ones, Portugal, Spain, Greece, and perhaps Brazil and Romania!
Any idea to see implemented in future editions of this cup?
Idea..humm...perhaps each manager could write 2 or 3 sentences about the next match 2/3 days before it happens. It would give a lot of activity to the forum and we can have funny situations on it!
Something else to add?
I just want to say that you had a fantastic idea, and I'm here to everything you guys need!
