Lots of praise for Joe Hodge on social media.

Really pleased for Hodge that he's done well. I do get worried though when people take someone's technical skills as a given and praise their ability to get a foot in and work hard off the ball!
Nathan Fraser starting for Ireland U19 vs Wales U19 for UEFA U19 Euros qualifiers at 1pm.
Good goal. He scored it with his left foot. I thought he is right-footed.
Saturday:
Nathan Fraser started and played the first 45 mins as Ireland u19s beat Wales u19 2-0
Fabio Silva came off the bench in the 2nd half as Portugal u21s beat Georgia 4-1. Fabio provided an assist for Portugal’s 3rd goal
Ruben Neves started and played 90 mins as Portugal beat Czech Republic 4-0. Matheus Nunes played the final 13 mins and Jose Sa and Pedro Neto were unused substitutes
Nathan Collins played 90 mins and provided an assist for Ireland as they lost 2-1 away against Scotland
Dylan Scicluna started on the bench as Australia u20s lost 3-1 against Chile u20s. Unfortunately no idea if he came on
Sunday:
Malta u19s lost 2-1 against Croatia but unsure if Lucas Scicluna featured
For now, yesSo the Scicluna brothers have opted to play for different national teams???
I really rate Cundle but I think Hodges ceiling is higher. Think he could suprise a few in timeI think Hodge is going to be a superb player.
Probably Sellars' best signing.
Unused subI don't think Fraser got on in the ROI U19s match, but I could be wrong. It finished Hungary 0-1 ROI. I think both nations go through to the next stage, as Wales 'only' beat Gibraltar 9-2, whereas Hungary had beaten them 8-0 earlier. Fine performance by ROI to win all three matches. I'm not sure whether finishing top improves their chances in the next stage.
Yep, top means they’re seeded for the Elite phaseI don't think Fraser got on in the ROI U19s match, but I could be wrong. It finished Hungary 0-1 ROI.

Neither as high as Kalajdzic's ceiling, though.I really rate Cundle but I think Hodges ceiling is higher. Think he could suprise a few in time
Was at the game last night. He really is a quality central defender.
