U 17 WC

dalibor · 26-10-09, 16:27

This tournament takes place in Nigeria,so African teams will have some home support.
Team of Malawi will makes its debut at this level ever,and their motivation is sky high.
Malawi had qualified for the eight-team tournament after an impressive sweep of their opponents in the preliminary round where they won five of their six matches, eliminating Mozambique, South Africa and then Namibia, who they beat 7-1 in the second leg of their final qualifying match to book a trip to Algeria.
But at the continental championships, the Young Flames found the going tough and lost their opening two matches to Burkina Faso and Niger, leaving Malawi and Zimbabwe to play a consolation match in their final group game. Or so they thought. As Malawi went on the rampage and defeated Zimbabwe 5-1, the Confederation of African Football expelled Niger for using overage players.
When it comes to Nigeria itself, Malawi have modest ambitions, according to both the Football Association President and his under-17 coach. "We'd be delighted to get past the first round, which makes our first game against the UAE the most vital for us," says Kaputa.
But most important UAE has very limited team.
Unlike their all-conquering U-20s, the U-17 side's road to the global stage was a little bumpy. After a lackluster 1-1 draw with Yemen in their opening match, they were thrashed 6-1 at the hands of defending champions Japan. Only a 3-2 win over Malaysia sent them through to the last eight, where they raised their game to stun highly-rated Australia 3-2 to secure their spot at the finals.
Winning third goal against Australia was scored in 91 minute,which sealed their spot at Nigeria 2009.

Malawi at 3.2

Japan over Swiss,sounds very reasonable

Elrio · 29-10-09, 00:20

Malawi U17 vs United States U17 3.50 3.25 1.91 @ bet365

Malawi lost first game vs UAE and got two red cards for Lufeyo and Simkonda. Are they suspended already?

US lost 1-2 from Spain while the Spaniards played 88 min with ten man. US opened the score after 4 min but the final score was already on the boards after 30 min.

What about this game?

Uruguay U17 - Algeria U17 any info about that match i think that Uruguay is clear win what do you think about it ?

Woody · 29-10-09, 01:19

No not at all, their defence looks shaky as hell. Overs is the best bet for me.

Niklass · 29-10-09, 12:17

any info on USA 17 and Urugway 17, odds are nice, but i do not know nothing from other competitors..

Elrio · 29-10-09, 12:47

other competitions than what?

Niklass · 29-10-09, 12:47

We know exactly what we have to do to beat the Algerians and I'm desperate to show what I can do.

litost · 29-10-09, 13:01

my 1.99 cents ...

Costa Rica (0) 3.15 6/10 / 2/1 24 .5/10 / 1/2 48 .5/10
One game is not real measure specially in youth competitions , Turkey beat BF circus guys wich is nothing to write home about whereas tico were held by die hard kiwis new breed yet CR is a team with a good school of football meaning this youngsters are teached well they have minus of compiting on their lower than Mex or MLS league but at this age surely can compete and today will have a another game plan as Turkey are not suposued to play close tactics .

South Korea (0) 2.95 6/10 / 2/1 28 1.5/10 / 1/2 45 .5/10
Another dog probably not rightly set , Korean beat rated Uruguayan youngsters with some ease it is worth mentioning how fast far east footie specially KR and Japan are improving not only at young age they have similar traits as seniors with very discipline close tactics and dangerous on teh break and on strategy set peices but now they even nurture players with skill and creativity in front Italy beat argelia as often not to say alway with the well known azurri traits ---- > nick one somehow when all odds are against --he he lol ...
Maybe this one if pourinr rains festivities are off will be one wehre goal are on cards and a 1/2 2/1 as well .

USA 1.8 5/10 / over 1.85 4/10 / 2/1 28 1.5/10 / 1/2 45 .5/10
Usa lookes well entrosed but lack of competitive touch , this kids live and train together in edmonton (florida) - first left on the road to winsconsin if you left alabama !! ) still they have some players with quality and face here an african team that after watcing parts of games of BF & Gambia are probably same proposition as in U-20 that is not well organized prone to defending blunders and not even well fit even if they play on gagreeeable climate conditions so USA win is on the cards but odds on at this comp u have to be brave so as
USA looked as well bit dodgy in th eback overs may be a good call as one tough playing at 1600 does not help .

Argelia (0) 2.6 6/10 / over @ 2 4/10 / 2/1 25 .5/10 / 1/2 4 1/10
Another one where odds seem not right argelians looked quite strong ag Italy having some sharp players upfron and phisical presence all over face charruas looking a bit dodgy in teh back ag KR and that will very likely miss their best player barreto tough surely other have quality in one of SA football breeding grounds.

Spain -1 1/4 1.9 5/10 / X/2 4 1/10 / 1/2 20 .5/10
Rather take handicap here Spain looked quite good first match overcoming 1-0 and one man down from 5th minute , Borja , Sarabia and Munuain loook capable to open any defense even of primera standars - the latter made some eyebrows raise at weser stadium weeks back - so probably EA will be no problem yet at this level low/medim stakes advisable given oponents will probably wait and this teams are not so disorganized as african ones and have strong players .

So is that a tip by sebastian or what is this post abouth thanks.

karolb · 29-10-09, 13:15

Uruguay didnt look that good at all most of the time against Koreans, in addition one of their key players and i think best player (Barreto) got injured and its sure if he can play today as far as i know

weather in Nigeria is terrible, yesterday 2 matches suspended, but could play on later (with more than 1 hour break) and 1 match abandoned which will be held today, its like chaos, could rain any minute and affect the game IMO ... personally i wouldnt bet much on this competition

litost · 29-10-09, 13:20

weather could be a factor indeed ...anyways this artificial pitches get dry easily

karolb · 29-10-09, 13:26

i dont know weather today, just mean in general from what we have seen so far from this WC

GL all

You gotta love da game

interbastian · 30-10-09, 14:43

Final group match Argentina already qualified but says they want to win anyhow, at least they dont' want to lose, thus holding on to first place.

Nigiria will have home advantage and want to show their fans what they can do.

I think during these circumstances both teams are equally strong. A draw will asure both keep their honor and meet their targets. Argentina stays number one and Nigeria makes sure Germany will not overtake them in the standings.

Draw low stakes is my bet.

litost · 30-10-09, 15:14

Bad day for dogs yesterday ......
..lets hope today brings some ....

Honduras +1 3/4 1.86 6/10 / (0) 11 3/10 / under (ht) 1 1/4 1.8 4/10 / first goal 29+ @ 2 2/10 / X/2 21 .5/10 / 2/2 19 .5/10 / 2/1 25 1/10 / 1/2 100 1/10 !!!!

Well after watching Costa Rica joke yesterday one have doubts about Concacaf youth level but Mexico showed something ag cariocas and catrachos new breed proved at least that they can defend and that it is allegedly their aim today as well ...wait in own half against on paper superior Germans so are this 13+ odds on guest realistic ones specioally at this level ??
sure Germany scored 3 against Nigeria -probably off guard and confused with so much expectations plus we know africa at youth level defending is piss poor - but later on were all over the place agasint baby eagles and against argentina looked quite dodgy defending as well letting albiceleste come back ....speculative shoot no doubt but one that at this odds does not allows us to risk much ..
honduras is CA breeding ground for cracking footballers last decade surely they got some ace up the sleeve .

Japan (0) 2.5 6/10 SJ / over 2 3/4 2 5/10 / 1/2 26 2/10 / 2/1 37 1/10
Nipons surely know how to put it in as KR they show youth players with great skills and similar traits with superb counter game and pin point diagonals for atackers to surprise ..their main handicap seems starting playing like they are brasil 82 or holland 74 when they are up while their fewer stamina does not allow them to hold same level 90´i guess .
Mexicans beat Brasil defending well with nice counter game surely we will see some goals here as japs need 3 .

Switzerland +3/4 1.9 6/10 / (0) 3.8 3/10 / over (3) 2 5/10 / 1/2 25 1/10 / 2/1 40 1/10
So bookies match this one on name alone , brasil with their football control bullsheet that dunga brought wich does not allow cracking players like new robinho neylmar or both wellingtons to unleash
their raw quality keep failing to impress oponenst know just keeping it tight in the back
may sufice as bras back 4 will not venture nor their midfielders lose position maybe today is diferents after lose but in front Switzerland is one of big european guns on youth level lately with cracking results and were impresive thus far ag mexico and japs so brasilian dodgy defending imo will suffer here but sw looked as well having gaps in the back yet japs crosses are diferent style than brasilian individualistic and on the ground footie so imo SW has a good chance ...

litost · 31-10-09, 12:09

Few words ... and my 1.99 cents ...

Colombia 1.85 5/10
young cafeteros against an african team ... well simply even if they are at "home" their game lacks so much craftmanship an ideas way diferent surely from the one played at street level
, colombians doing good despite their best player did not travel to nigeria .

Turkey 1.83 5/10
Weakest group so we can overstimate NZ after drawing against two "powerhouses"

or understimate Turkey after beating those two powerhouses ...or the oposite !! well i am confused now - too freeking early - so my pick say it all .

Colombia (0) + Turkey (0) 1.96 6/10
See above cheese .

Burkina Faso (0) 1.66 5/10
now two joke teams hapily enough it is saturday busy day in puntersland so we will not watch this ... i would rather go to nearest school and watch kids play FFS!! ...
but well africans could take advantage of turkey playing only two days ago and after hectic scedule it may be a factor imo ....

GL.

USA vs United Arab Emirates

Last group game, a draw is the only result that ensures both teams a place amongst the last sixteen.

Remember number 1 and 2 from each group qualifies. Furthermore 4 out of 6 third placed teams will also advance.

My bet is draw at medium stakes.

I am on USA. Malawi did not deserve to lose first match versus UAE,they have better scoring opportunity.UAE have skillful and fast forwards,but USA left better impression.They are playing good,but having problem to convert amount of chances in first two matches.
USA at 2.3

Malawi U17 - Spain U17
2009-11-01 15:00:00
U17 World Cup

Odds: 1.96
Stake: 8 / 10
Pick: Malawi U17 (+2)
Company: 10bet

Malawi is a good team. I wish there was a way for these quality, but poor, African countries to get their players more experience on a consistent basis. Spain is going to rest key players, while African side will fight for their pride. I like African teams a lot, they are playing with their hearts, giving all themselves and fighting right until the final whistle. Handicap -2 is too big for last group game, where one of the team has no motivation. Spain will likely win by 1 goal.

U17 World Cup

Odds: 2.09
Stake: 8 / 10
Pick: Colombia U17 (+0,5)
Company: 10bet

It looks to me it'll be a really good game, they are both very technical teams. Last tournament Columbia was eliminated by eventual winners Nigeria in second round and Nigeria won the cup. Columbia has good defense and are able to control Argentina attack, it is a 50 50 game and odds 2.09 are worth to take.

litost · 04-11-09, 13:09

some quick toughts bet a t your peril in this NB competition it is way better live betting imo ...

Italy -1/4 1.73 5/10
From what we have seen USA is a bit naive in both areas lacking competitive touch wich Italians always have wining usually either way and they have done this previously in this tournie but of course USA are as well great competitors yet we side with azurri new breed to sent packing homies from alabama (wisconsin).

Argentina -3/4 2.16 5/10
Albiceleste was impressive coming back ag Germany and last game all big guns Sebastian araujo etc were rested a plus in such a short competition , Colombia
no minnows but last games starting to show weaknesses .

UAE +1 1.8 5/10 / (0) 3.9 2/10 / Qfy 3.5 3/10
Speculative shot simply Turkey was in weakest group by miles and tough UAE does not look like world beaters mentioned ? makes odds lookd too high .
turkey more rested as did not play with regs last game but 3 days is enought did not i say that in argie game ?? :/

Switzerland Quaifies 2.21 7/10
Well totally wrong odds swiss team showed way more and Germany ever great
competitive touch can be matched by their neighbourgs german side none theless their footie seem german and coming back agains KR and beating at ease cariocas does talk for it self imo .

Argentina + Italy qualify @ 1.9 4/10

Poltergeist · 04-11-09, 13:34

Pay attention, Litost, Argentina isn't a sure qualified team, you may be from there, but Colombia showed a very good display I am impressed by them. These are juniors and not seniors and Colombia always top level at this level.

About USA, even they looked naive sometimes, they improved at every level, from juniors to seniors. Italy on the other hand didn't impress at all from my point of view.

The juniors are kinda a lottery, but you must bet the team who always have good juniors like Turkey is for example today.

Turkey comes from a group with weak teams, but won it and trust me I know, the Turkish have nice teams of juniors.

So from my point of view, the only safest bet is:

Pick: Turkey U 17 to qualify @ 1.40 9/10
Pick: Turkey U 17 to win @ 1.60 6/10

The best way is to take only the 1st one! Good luck!

litost · 04-11-09, 14:45

I never said Argentina are a sure thing furthermore mate aka the ghost i agree with your statement about juniors just will add something late on...
surely colombia at youth level are good but arg can only be compared with brasil only cariocas have this dumb football control bullsheet at helm with dunga bunga as leader of the whole thing and players play unleashed ....

imo best shot today probably swiss

Turkey is not bad for sure, they get good skills, clear fav. on Uae
