For clarification, I think it's very good, for him and OUFC, if he plays for the National team in World Cup qualification matches. These happen in international breaks anyway.
Even playing for the U-22s is fine in theory, it's just the length of time he'll be away which makes me question who is actually making these decisions.
I also very happy if he play in our National Senior team and in official matches that under FIFA calendar. Yes, he is still young and still can play for 2 more years with U23 team, but if he also join National Senior team matches, it will not good for his condition / physique.. in this case it's not club fault. It's our FA fault that can't make priority.

I said between agree and disagree regarding his called into AFF Cup because we already decided to send pure U22 team and not called any young players ( which also core of our National Senior team ) that involved in WCQ. For agree part....it's ok....because if he stay here he also still have lack match to play.

And because Lino have same experiences too when he played with FC Deinze, more caps in National team than played for team. I have to explained that in my very beginning post when someone asked his lack play for FC Deinze. And now same patterns again in OUFC. Don't make him busy traveling for play with National Senior team, U23, U22 teams.....give him times too for gain more experiences by playing in lot European league competition.

The "bad" results already showed few months ago....because playing for U23 then Senior team in Asian Cup..he was late to gain best condition when official leagues began.

In my opinion, it's better for young players to focus on their club rather than playing in competitions that aren't even on the FIFA calendar. But who knows, maybe Lino has other reasons and I respect that.
 
He is in Bali now, our U22 team make preparation for AFF Cup in Bali.

He just score 1 goal in preparation match against local club. Looks like he play as forward since 2 main strikers still not join the squad because still playing in competition with their club, 1 in local league and other in Australian A League )

Here's the goal....not in good TV format since this match wasn't informed to media.

as an Indoensian myself, am a bit disappointed bout this AFF squad call, although it is not a youth competition but still this competition is not that worth for Indonesia itself. It is better for him to stay with the team and experienced the training with the first team. Championship is far far more better than AFF itself, but yea we don't know what the best for him and the team. Hope the best for both.
 
Agree with that but agree with LeftSideBoy with regards the comment about him 'not being a serious signing'. He may not be a starter, or coming off the bench now, but that doesn't mean he won't be in the future. Signings can be for the long term as well as the immediate.

Whiff of (Biggleswade's) Yoav Sade about it all.
 


Well....last night our Women National Team won 2024 AFF Cup, congrats to them.

I hope it can give more motivation to our U22 Men Team. Hope Lino and friends can follow what women's team have reach. This tournament like a bad curse for us. 6 times reached Final and always fail...hope this year we can break that curse 😅😊
 
So is the ASEAN Cup an U-22 cup, or that the countries choose to pick younger squads?
Like in the Olympics?

No...for upcoming Cup is for Senior Team event. There's AFF cup for several age level from U16, U19, U23

This year Indonesia choose to send U22 team mixed with 1-2 senior player. This decision made when we knew we qualified for Round 3 World Cup Asian Qualification. Let Senior Team focus for WCQ event.

Also for long goal, this U22 team are fill with lot promising young players that can promote to Senior team someday. So let them gain more experiences in this event.

Some rival said Indonesia underestimate them by sending U22 team, well...it's all about priority since the schedules for AFF Cup and WCQ round 3 are very close. We need to think recovery times too for the players.

This tournament is a senior level competition. However, this year, Indonesia has decided to send U-22 Team, that most of them playing in indonesia domestic leagues. This decision was made partly because indonesia senior players that currently playing abroad face difficulties being released by their clubs, as this tournament not a FIFA matchday. And another reason is because this is an opportunity to identify and develop new young talents to get international experience and strengthen the indonesia senior team in the future.

To answer your question, yes, the ASEAN Cup that Lino will participate in is a senior level tournament not U-22, although ASEAN Cup have youth categories too. This means the opponents will be senior national teams, not youth teams. According to news, Indonesia is the only country that sending U-22 team to this tournament, while other nations such as Thailand (Rank 97 FIFA), Vietnam (Rank 116 FIFA) and Malaysia (Rank 132 FIFA) and other countries are bringing their senior national teams.

Additionally, FIFA has classified the ASEAN Cup as an "A-level" tournament, meaning it will slightly impact each country's FIFA ranking.
 


Disaster tackle from Marselino. And awful team composition and tactic in our first 2 matches. I won't put high expectation if their performance still like that and no drastic change for next match which very difficult....away to Vietnam where they are having very high ambition to beat us.

Back to Lino's second yellow card....it was dangerous situation where opponent have start their counter attack and it should be stop, but not with tackle like that.
