I just discovered it tonight on the grounds that the Australian under 20 team are currently staying at my hotel (USA arrive tomorrow) Bloody typical of my luck - Australia have a trial game on Friday evening and a warm up match on Sunday, Tournament starts on Fri 10th June - You guessed it, I fly home this Friday evening (after 2 weeks over here) Tournament details here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See if you can have a word with James Wesolowski (Leicester's whizkid) if you get the chance. It would be good to hear what's he's got to say about Leicester and what are his chances of playing next season. See what you can do mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep shouting random things about Leicester all night and eventually you'll find him. It's a right shitter you won't get to see him, it would of been great to cheer the whizkid on.

I'd ask about at the hotel and see if you can get a meeting with Weso. Perhaps you could do an interview for foxestalk. I was reading an article the other day and they reckon he's going to be better than Harry Kewell, you need to meet the lad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natas Posted 9 June 2005 Share Posted 9 June 2005 Anway, sorry for digging up old threads and all, but I figured I would just mention Wesolowski is not in the starting line-up for the first match against Benin- Lineup (depending on injuries)- Pasfield, Milligan, McClenahan, Timpano, Downes, Musiliak, Sarkies, Celeski, Tadrosse, Lia, Ward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 9 June 2005 Share Posted 9 June 2005 They had 2 warm-up games over the weekend against Dutch under 23 teams and they won 2-0 and 4-0. Wesolowski set up a couple of goals, good lad!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natas Posted 9 June 2005 Share Posted 9 June 2005 Yeah, we beat NEC 2-0 and then there coach had a bit of a go at us, he reckoned we play poorly as at team and that the Netherlands will have no problems beating us, we shall see though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Posted 10 June 2005 Share Posted 10 June 2005 1-1 Aus v Benin Both sides probably nervous and Australia looked ordinary. Lucky with their goal. Benin goal was well taken. Benin U-20's heldBenin's under-20 drew 1-1 with Australia in their first ever game at the World Youth Championship on Friday. The Junior Squirrels opened the scoring in the Group A game in the Dutch town of Kerkrade in the 31st minute through Razak Omotoyossi. He scored at the far post after a breakaway down the left flank. He almost added another in 74th after dribbling through several defenders, but his shot was saved. In the first half, Australia rarely threatened but had two decent chances from free kicks by Kristian Sarkies in the 22nd and 25th minutes. Australia's Nick Ward equalized in the 59th minute with a near-post finish from a corner. The Benin coach Serge Deveze was happy with the result. "It was a good result for Benin but I think we can do better," he told BBC Sport. "We played collectively in the first half but in the second half my strikers played for themselves not for the team. "We missed lost a lot of chances because my strikers threw it away, we have work to do in this area. "If we want to get to the second round we have to beat Japan and if we do that we would have four points. "I don't want wait till the last game against Netherlands before we qualify." The match started with a moment of silence for former Benin goalkeeper Samiou Youssoufou, who was bludgeoned to death with stones four months ago in Cotonou following they loss to Nigeria at the African Youth Championship. Next up for Benin are Japan on 15 June, while on the same day Australia play the hosts Holland. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natas Posted 11 June 2005 Share Posted 11 June 2005 We were pretty disappointing, first half we didn't play too well, giving the ball away too much in midfield, though the defence looked fairly solid most of the time, having said that we still had the better chances but Omotoyossi (who was easily the best player) caught us out. Second half Benin got tired, and we started to dominate, especially the last 15 minutes we had about 3 great chances to win, Dilevski somehow managed to hit the post from a cross from about about 4 yards out. Australia really should have won and we might find it hard to get to the next round now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted 15 June 2005 Share Posted 15 June 2005 Weslowski has only made it to the bench V the Netherlands this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted 15 June 2005 Share Posted 15 June 2005 Could have done with him. <_< 0-3 to the Netherlands and it was men against boys. Lots of effort from Australia but no craft, ditto the effort for the Dutch except that they also had some class, skill and some craft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
