Seems brief and to the point...just what it should be.

FYI - here is the Spanish message

SIEMPRE potencial mejor que ALLSTAR/ALWAYS potential better than AL

I'm guessing you'll be opposed to this idea but I'll throw it out there anyway...

What if you just posted your "How to train an U21 player" write up on the offsite forum so that the last line in your message could be used for the offsite forum link. Kill two birds with one stone.

It doesn't really matter to me either way, to be honest. Harfang has a point about the link, though. I didn't know you could shorten the link that much. I will see if I can rework it later so that everything fits.

Here is another try, which leaves 11 characters to spare. I have added it for now, pending comments.

If you are seeing this message, then it is possible that your player has what it takes to be scouted by Canada's U21 team, provided he has star+ potential. Please send your player's skills to Canada's U21 manager, HeadPaperPusher (24866).

Check out the following message for guidelines on what I am looking for: (112815.1).

Here are some thoughts on training: (112743.1).

Finally, here is the link to Canada's off-site forum: (http://bbcanada.forumotion.com).

Happy new year everyone!

Here are the tactics for the 2nd Suomi game: (http://bbcanada.forumotion.com/games-f5/canada-suomi-janu...). Hopefully we don't draw them again this season.

Since they are currently on the U21 team, I believe this transfer ad is legit. They are all U21 or NT prospects, if they find the right owner. I added them to the team to save them from going bot.

The U21 consolation schedule is up for the rest of the round robin. It is not very pleasant getting England in our next game, especially on the road. But hopefully I can think of a way to beat them. I haven't really looked at the rest of the schedule to see the highlights, though.

I think the team has a good chance to do very well this round, possibly 5-1 based on a quick look through of the teams. Looks like Romania is the toughest of the group.

Yikes - I guess some people had tough cup games this week. A few players had way too many minutes. Oh well, I guess it is my fault for saying the consolation tournament is not that important.

The good news is many of England's players were also overused. I just might have to use all my call-ups earlier than I wanted.

in my case, i forgot to bench Matthews in my second league game as he had already played 20+ minutes in the first. He got 20+ too in the second game and I still hadn't given him any time at PG, so I had to play him. My bad.

Hopefully it won't hurt too much in the game shape department.
