Good to see Chris Irakoze (2009) dominating the 2024 National Youth Championships for South Australia U15's. 

He is the top goal scorer in the comp with 10 goals.

Another Burundian-Australian talent who you may see with the Joeys sometime this cycle, especially next year.

Asthetically pleasing first half against vietnam

A couple of players can not just recieve the ball on thr half turn but can take a player on with their backs to goal

Again we missed 2 of our four big chances. The fourth would have been amazing, a player recieves the ball in the box with back to goal with 8 defenders in the box, he thrns around and beats two players on the turn and shoots just over

Curiously there are few players effective at taking players on facing goal though. This is a second team tho

Final score 6 -2

What a scoreline. The conceded goal was a 30 yard pile driver and a really generous pen imo

Interesting that this isn’t the strongest team and still won quite convincingly the young Socceroos should have plenty of depth going into the qualifiers.

It’s assuring that you mention this, we are now developing players that could play out of pressure either with their first touch or with a 1v1 action which usually has been a weakness in Australian players it seems the curriculum/academies stuff is paying dividends in creating this type of player.

It should bode well for the future.

Victoria won the u15 final and NSW won the u16 final.

Interestingly though SA had player of the tournament in both age groups.

I think the u19s have a better coach than the u16s. Lots less space between the lines, so if we won a contested ball our first touch could be to a teamate

Players seem to be getting better at being effective with bad body position, but players who can take players on going forward with stepovers and lacroquettas seem to be missing from this group. Still it is a second string team that flogged a team we have historically struggled against

Keep an eye out on the likes of Younis and Quintal, a winger and a No.10 respectively both take on players effectively from what I’ve seen from them at NSW NPL level. 

I’m curious how this team compares to the team that competed in South America.

Some nice goals, good to see some clinical finishing which is so often missing from our NTs in these tournaments.

Being an A-League squad, will be interesting to see which players will kick on next season for their respective clubs.

we've missed a few chances and look a bit complacent in this game

Saturday we play the semi-final against Thailand while in the other semi it's Indonesia and Malaysia.

Here's hoping the boys can go all the way and maximise their preparation for the AFC Championships and the FIFA U-19 World Cup.

Found one. Worst goal conceded ive seen

A simple slow backpass to the keeper and the keeper misses it. It rolls slowly into the goal

Goal keeper has gifted 2 goals this tournament. Not sure if it is the same goal keeper

Ball was travelling so slowly that the keeper might have had time to retrieve it but stood there deer in headlights

Starting to lose our head a bit. Our player pushes over a thai player for time wasting and gets silly yellow

One of those games where coaching will really matter. Need to get their heads straight at half time

Give away a silly yellow at half way

They are allowed to walk the free kick forward 15 meters to make it an attscking situation but nothing comes of it. Not many chances either side this half and no clear chances for thailand. In the end tho we gifted them a goal
