Finland U19 vs Russia Oct 2 14.00 CET

FT 1-6 (1-3)
Finland scored from their few chances a nice header, Russians scored whenever they felt like it. Gk Joronen got injured and substituted after the first goal, but not Casillas would had saved the poor hosts, the team lacks quality. Hugely disappointing, fortunately the team is young and under-aged for this age group.

A good pair.

df:
Samu Nieminen, JJK
Carl Jenkinson, Charlton Athletic
Atte Hoivala, KuPS
Johannes Nordström, IFK Mariehamn
Elja Heiskanen, FC Honka

Hoivala has been solid at Veikkausliiga this season, the others are less experienced on that level.

Sergei Korsunov, Ilves
Santeri Mäkinen, TPS
Jaakko Rantanen, FC Reipas

Seferi and Alho are good a creative promises.

Juho Lehtonen, PoPa
Tim Väyrynen, FC Honka
Fisnik Gerxhaliu, HJK

A bit short list, and I am afraid only the two upper choices have any talent at the moment, or let us say, enough.

Finland U19 - Scouting Special!

Update; the 2-1 loss to Hungary ended hopes of qualification.

Finland against Hungary:
Joonas Pöntinen, KuPS
Mikko Sumusalo, HJK
Tapio Heikkilä, FC Honka
Thomas Götzl, FC Hansa Rostock

Petteri Pennanen, FC Twente
Rasmus Schüller, FC Honka
Jaakko Lepola, FC Honka
Teemu Pukki, Sevilla FC > 70’ Wilhelm Ingves, IFK Mariehamn
Lauri Dalla Valle, Liverpool FC




Update as the qualification has started. Finland drew with Serbia away 1-1 in the opener and the line-up was also far better than in the friendlies mentioned below, starring Teemu Pukki and Lauri Dalla Valle. A friendly is always a friendly, nothing else.

Line-up against Serbia 13.5.2009;

Suomen kokoonpano Serbiaa vastaan:
Joonas Pöntinen, KuPS
Mikko Sumusalo, HJK
Tapio Heikkilä, FC Honka

----------------------- earlier shite------------

Some of the youth teams of Finland are not absolute bullshit. I wish I could say the same about our current U19 - team, but if we think that results speak for themselves there is not too much to add.

Germany - Finland 7-0
France - Finland 7-0

I honestly think there is some talent in the team, but as a team there is not much to expect at the moment.

Finland line - up against France;

Tomas Karike, HJK
Mikko Sumusalo, HJK
Thomas Götzl, FC Hansa Rostock
Tapio Heikkilä, FC Honka
Tero Mäntylä, Portsmouth FC
Riku Heini, FC Lahti
Jaakko Lepola, FC Honka
Rasmus Schüller, FC Honka
Daniel Fellman, FF Jaro
Petteri Pennanen, FC Twente
Johannes Westö, HJK

Good luck to Europe, boys!
