U20 Final and new elections

23.4.2006

Tonight at 20.00 it is time for the U20 World Cup final, where Österreich will face Norge. If you look at the ratings from the semifinal, Norge is the favourite. But Österreich team spirit is much better than Norge's, so it looks like it is going to be a very tight and exciting match. After the final it is time to elect a new National U20 coach again. The election starts tomorrow and can be found here. Be sure to stop by the conference to check out the candidates' speeches and participate in the debate, but remember to follow the conduct rules.
