March Internationals

[The Wolf Of Wombourne]

Have these been cancelled yet considering the travel bans and the whole of Europe pretty much in lockdown?

Seems absolute madness that these might go ahead.

Particularly when you see the Six Nations rugby falling apart - more positive tests in the French squad.

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

They need to be cancelled. Crazy they are going ahead.

They won't be cancelled. Money > Anything else. The federation's won't allow them being cancelled as they lose revenue.

Yup sadly although I’m surprised the big leagues aren't putting pressure on at least publicly yet.

 

[Sketchead]

If we were in the Europa League knockout rounds tonight I bet we'd be all feel it was safe enough for our players to play games across the continent in their bubbles.

Just for some balance

I think those who play for Portugal won't be travelling, which works well for us, if correct? Although somebody like Neto who needs to prove his worth for a spot in the EUROs will surely be desperate to play.

Neto will be in the Euro squad, whether they play beforehand or not. They already know how good he is.

Podence is the one who might be more keen to try and force his way in, needs a strong finish to the season etc.

France V Scotland now postponed.

We know how good Neto is but when it comes to Portuguese 'forwards' who can play around Ronaldo I believe he's currently behind Joao Felix, Jota, Rafa Leao, Rafa Silva, Trincao, Bernardo Silva...

Bruno Fernandes will obviously play in the 10.

Touch and go IMO. Can't see Podence being in it based on a mixture of his own form, better form of others, and constant injuries.

Interestingly the U21s EUROs group stages are towards the end of March, where Portugal play England. Neto eligible but presuming he will get a second senior call up... Vitinha will be playing I'm sure.

I'd be surprised if Santos the Portuguese Coach doesn't talk with Nuno on a very regular basis.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

I'd be surprised if Santos the Portuguese Coach doesn't talk with Nuno on a very regular basis.

Nuno has previously come out and said they are constantly in dialogue regarding the players

 

[The Clock]

New cases have been increasing in most European countries in the past 7-10 days.
Barking mad to go ahead with international football matches.

 

[Miniwolf]

Portugal have moved their world cup qualifier v Azerbaijan which was due to be played in Portugal in March to Turin, Italy.

 

[Stafford]

England really need these friendlies, who the hell are we taking to the euro's we have about 20 attacking midfielders.

Emergence of Saka Foden

Mason Mount Jack Grealish, Madison, Sterling.. even Lingard looking good.

Do we give that kid at liverpool ago?

Do we like Stones again now? Who plays next to him.

Our full backs have been off form this season, but there loads more coming through the system.

Which rubbish keeper do we play?

 

[Danny's day out]

Kliperty doesnt want players to go clubs pay the wages

Not often I agree with Klopp but he is spot on with this worse possible time to have an international break!

Does that make a difference to us?

 

[92WWFC]

Does that make a difference to us?

Yeah I think its so the English based portugal players can play without quarantine rules from what I read.

 

[Miniwolf]

Does that make a difference to us?

As above, it was possible premier league clubs wouldnt release players if they would have to quarentine on return. Moving it to Italy means our Portuguese bunch will probably now go.
