:SVK U18 NT coach just called for the upcomming friendly games against Hungary a certain Casey Shann from Brighton :mumble:

 

Born in London where he is still living, Father from :JAM Mother from :SVK. He could choose any of ENG, JAM or SVK to play for and decided for Slovakia.

 

We already have one :FRA / :SVK  and one :AFG / :SVK player in this category :p

A :SVK small village amateur club playing in our 5th division was apparently invited by :QAT national team to play a match in Austria :roflmao:

 

First I heard about it a while ago and I was sure it is some dumb April fool joke or something like that so I did not pay attention to that anymore. But now I just read the game was really played today and Qatar won against a bunch of factory workers playing football on sundays afternoons for a pint of beer and goulash 2-0 :lol:

 

Seriously, I want to meet the :QAT football federation technical manager and just ask how he came to an idea to organize an international pre-world cup friendly test match against a Slovak 5th division small village team :lol:

and it is official. The :SVK bus has finally after three months searching his new parking lot officer.

 

The 53 years old :ITA Francesco Calzona agreed to sign the deal (poor guy does not know what he is doing :whistle:) and will coach Slovak National Team until 31st December 2023 (in case of God´s complete grace in the form of progress to the EURO 2024, the contract will be automatically extended for the Championships)...

It was said that one village club had to refuse as it was organizing its annual village festival

I would be so pissed to miss the chance to play against a World Cup team (even if it's only Qatar) because of some lame festival in my tiny village :lol:

and apparently Domaniža was the third choice after Hrubý Šúr refused the invitation because of local village festival what is just a couple of hours of weird traditional dance folklor groups and guys spending the most of the time in the beer stands  :roflmao: the other club for some reason did not answer the phone, so the manager called Domaniža :lol:

 

Imagine the population of the entire village traveled by ordered buses to Vienna for this match. it was the main topic of the day in our media. The mayor of the village who is also the Club leader proposed to his players, if they do not lose by more than 4 goals everyone of them will receive a beer crate, so no wonder it ended 2-0 :lol:

 

The celebrations after the match were enormous like winning the champions league

So here he is.

 

Francesco Calzona

The new NT coach. Apparently he does speak only Italian :p He never was head coach before, only worked as coach assistant in Italian clubs (especially Napoli), So why not go with him, right ? like we say here bez risku nie zisk (something like: no pain no gain in slovak formulation : There no gain (zisk) without risk)

 

He was officially presented today at the Press Conference. He will bring with him a full Italian team staff

 

Head Coach: Francesco Calzona

Assistant: Gianluca Segarelli

Fitness Trainer: Alessandro Bulfoni

GK Coach: Matúš Kozáčik

Video: Marco Brini

Technical Manager: Giovanni Paolo de Matteis

 

x3OktkpTURBXy9lZTg0YjE2ZjM4ZThhNDRiOTNkZ

 

His debut will be 22 September at home vs :AZE and 3 days later in :SRB neutral place for the home game against :BLR , both last matches in C Division of the unsuccessful League of Nations.

 

His goal is clear, qualify for the Euro 2024... well, let all heavens forces help him .. looking forward to see that :p

With a monthly salary of 45,000 euros, he becomes the highest-earning coach in our football history. Well, better to bring some results quickly otherwise he is in for a quite sizeable dose of criticism from the malcontent population. :lol:

Poland NT was linked to Gianni di Biasi after the 2018 World Cup fiasco, kinda wish he was chosen over Jerzy Brzęczek given how often we played Italy in the Nations League soon afterwards :p

 

Anyway, :POL will play  :CHI in a friendly match in Warsaw on November 16th. Let's see if this helps us vs Messi & co.

    • With a week to go till the deadline for the world invitational,the rosters look beefy for the discus on both sides.24 entries for the men[19 accepted in so far] and 25 for the women[18 accepted so far] For the men so far there are three 70 meter throwers[i count Denny as that since it's just 4 centimeters off his pb]10 from mid 66 to low 69,three of 65 and over,four from almost 64 to almost 65.On the women's side the 18 accepted throwers all have a pb of over 60 meters.11 of them have  pbs over 64 plus.of the ones still not there besides Valerie and Yaime who have been marketed so i can only assume they will join,such names as  Sandra Elkasevic,Bin Feng,and jordine van klinken aren't signed up yet,jordine's probably the most likely of them to join in tough feng would be a cool surprise,i somehow don't see Sandra doing this,but it would be awesome if she did.Stahl and ceh aren't in yet on the men's side,ceh has been marketed while stahl hasn't been mentioned at all,[pretty sure stahl will not be there],Lukas[last name is too wild for me to even try] and lawrence okoye aren't there yet either but i'm betting both will be joining in.
    • What a shame. That would have been amazing.
    • It's complete American domination in the women's discus rankings so far this year,they occupy the top 4 slots,and the WORST result of those four was achieved at Ramona .Third place currently belongs to Ciera Jackson who had a huge almost 4 METER pr at the west coast relays on friday-64.42[previous best was 60.77 from march of 2023,and she opened her season a week ago with at that time her second best result ever of 60.14]she also had a 63.66 throw to back this new pb up,and finally with her new personal best she took down the school record that stood for 36 YEARS[Btw Valerie Allman actually competed in Ramona on march 30th but conditions were apparently far from ideal and she fouled four times and her best was a 63.61,i don't doubt that in the event that she competes in the  world intational,the conditions will be perfect,i wouldn't be so bold as to say she wouldl get the world record but for sure i think she could get a new personal best.
