Upcoming Internationals

[Direwolf]

Yes congratulations to MGW for getting his head down this season and making the under 21 squad.

 

[Black Coffee]

We have some of the best young, skillful, attacking talent in decades just look at the list and then there's Southgate.

He's definitely from the jobs for the (his) boys club although he claims his team 'judges on form' that is just *******s

 

[Mardenboroughs Shoulder]

Southgate and his constant hard on for the bowl cut donkey at Villa is very disturbing to me what the **** does he see in him from a footballing POV as he's proper ****. Konsa and Hause are better that says a lot I don't know one Villa fan who rates Mings.

Feel for Max but knowing how clueless Southgate is he's probably watched his poor performance against Palace game and fell in love with another one of his ex teams player and the love affair continues .

Mings the Merciless!

 

[Kashmire Hawker]

Yes congratulations to MGW for getting his head down this season and making the under 21 squad.

Excellent news! It adds to the five caps he's had for the U21s in previous years and is a serious sign of both how good he's been at Blades and how much he is enjoying his football this campaign. Long may it continue!

 

[Mardenboroughs Shoulder]

More mussels to their arm....

That's a load of molluscs!

 

[lets all have a disco]

Gibbs white is 22....gets called up for the u21s .....

 

[Deleted member 8455jwf]

To be fair, there is two slots free in that squad (Maguire and Mings) which should have been taken by Tomori and Kilman respectively.

Spot on. Rest of CBs are fine

 

[Deleted member 8455jwf]

How does everyone know such about Tomori? Have we gone back 30 years on channel 4.

I mean he literally played and scored against us.

 

[WickedWolfie]

Nah, the world is their oyster...

 

[Oldgoldilox]

About two and a half years ago. Ive not seen anything of Tomori to be honest but have read that he's having a good season. The mind boggling thing here is the Harry "emperor's new clothes" McGuire gets picked. And Mings for that matter. Two friendlies, weaker opposition, great chance to give Guehi, Kilman and Tomori a run out.

 

[Contrarian]

Sounds like the games Southgate chose to watch him were ill timed, as West Ham and Palace were clearly not his best games

Shame all that came before didn't count for much... he'll get another chance though

Doesn't Southgate have a television or laptop he can watch games on?

 

[Abbobrom]

Even United fans can't believe that Maguire has been selected.

 

[ombyman]

Gibbs white is 22....gets called up for the u21s .....

I can't remember the rules, but it's done like school years or something. And tournaments and qualification is done as being u21 at a certain date. So some tournaments have 23 year olds turning up!

Yep, anyone born after 1st Jan 2000 is eligible to play in the tournament so MGW qualified by 27 days

 

[Notsoslimshady]

I can understand nations having tried and trusted players, but it must be disheartening for those not called up. I get maguire being there. He is united, and has had some good games for england. Mings on the other hand.

Kilman may have had a couple of not so good games bit has been fantastic this season. Maybe the wrong time for him but those ahead of him are hardly stand-out.

White is playing regularly and well for arsenal, so i get that.

Maguire - if on form and performance for club should be nowhere near the squad.

Not sure how much stones has done this year

Mings is just, well, mings

As for Sa., i would be surprised if any of those ahead of him have plated better this season

 

[92WWFC]

Great to see Connor Ronan finally involved in an Ireland senior squad. He's a had a bit of an unorthodox career path but always had the talent.

 

[Leominster_Wolf]

Maybe, but he trusts & can rely on these players. I get why he goes for them & doesn't want to disrupt that.


All managers have their go to guys. Just think these are amongst those for Southgate. He can rely & trusts them.

His jobs the one on the line, so get why he falls back on those.

Then why make a statement to the exact opposite? - that he would only select on form and no one has a divine right to be in the squad.
i know I’m paraphrasing, but that was sort of the drift of what he said when appointed. He also said he wouldn’t pick players not playing for their club team.
didn’t stop him selecting sancho when he wasn’t playing, or stones when he wasn’t playing.

Now he’s just like every one of the previous, same old faces every squad - regardless of form.

if he had anything about him, anything at all, max should be in the squad alongside the other names mentioned. McGuire and minge should be nowhere near on form, just proving he’s full of **** and selecting the same old faces…. Just because.

He's too busy playing Fifa on the Xbox!

 

[giantwolf]

*Morgan Gibbs White (England u21)

*Connor Ronan gets his first senior call up to Ireland

… and Raul (Mexico)

He wouldn't be the first manager to say 1 thing & do another.

 

[92WWFC]

I wonder why RAN no longer seems to be involved with France. Obviously the senior team is to a ridiculous standard but can't think why he wouldn't be in the u21s unless he switches go Algeria.

I think some of it boils down to France playing 433 so he might not be a natural fit at left back or further forward. He’s also competing against Truffert for the left back spot and he’s a regular for Rennes and in European competition for the last two seasons… including the champions league

justice for Jose

 

[Abbobrom]

I understand that this is the third call up for Sa, but yet to win a cap.

 

[giantwolf]

Sort of an update from the club........... Internationals | Sa handed late Portugal call-up for World Cup play-off

@92WWFC turns out Ait Nouri did get a call up for the France u21s but won't be taking part for personal reasons.

 

[I'm the Wanderer]

Was the 2018 world cup Russia's "1936 Olympics"? Hmmm....

 

[92WWFC]

Joao starting for Portugal. I wonder where Rui is? Surely as a play off game he would play? If not it should definitely be Jose Sa.

I'm also struck by the CB pairing of Jose Fonte who is getting on a bit and Danilo Pereira who is a midfielder yikes...

Rui is on the bench (with Sa). They can catch up on Wolves banter

 

[JOSWolf]

Suit of armour for Moutinho please!

[I'm the Wanderer]

Raul is playing like ass

 

[VancouverWolf]

Raul is playing like ass

Hope he gets a hat trick.

 

[SuperGran]

[JOSWolf]

Suit of armour for donck please

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Excellent strike from Shaw to level just before HT.

 

[WickedWolfie]

Impressive result for Ireland.
