rankings in U21 mean nothing. season 18 is an all too good reminder about that. English U21 was ranked 64th at the start of the season, yet went on to qualifiy for the european championship.
Each generation has a chance at making it to the top. the bigger factor i would look at is Community size. Russia has a large community, so their U21 is likely to be strong. However, it only takes 1 golden generation to be able to upset even the top teams. that is part of the appeal of the U21's aswell. if u get 15 managers to decide to all take 1 trainee and give him the royal treatment, then u'r likely to have an extremely strong team capable of challenging the top nations for a spot in the european championship ( or have an extended consolation run).
anyhow, Russia should get the top spot. 2nd spot will be a fight between Portugal, Ukraine, England and Israel.
best of luck for tomorrow! if ur able to keep the difference below a 20 point loss, then i'd say u'll have done a great job!
