[Albion] Upcoming International break.

[Perfidious Albion]

Like Amexer , I have no interest in the England games but I like to know who of our squad is jetting around the world instead of a well earned rest.
Actually, in the present political climate I believe we should boycott the 2026 World Cup. The finals are set for North America and the bulk and the final in USA .
That’s enough for me to want nothing to do with it.

Cozier Duberry called up to the England U20s.

The club's write up mistakenly says Gruda has been called up to Germany's senior team when he's actually with the U21s: https://www.brightonandhovealbion.c.../albion-have-22-players-on-international-duty

The club's write-up also doesn't mention:-

Darius Lane - called up for the US U-18 squad for a training camp at the Marbella Football Center and friendlies against Morocco and Norway
Henry Kasvosve - called up for the Welsh U-18s with friendlies at the Pinatar Arena in Spain against Poland and Denmark
Sebastian Ademola - called up for the Norwegian U-17 squad for 2025 UEFA U-17 European Championship Round 2 qualifiers in Spain against the hosts, Austria and Germany

(The write-up also doesn't mention Abdallah Sima, Malick Yalcouye and Amario Cozier-Duberry but you have already covered those on this thread).

Today, Baleba's Cameroon face Eswatini in South Africa (KO 16:00 GMT), in a World Cup qualifier being streamed on FIFA+ - he could earn his sixth cap.

No other games to look out for today involving Albion players, up to six tomorrow.

Seb Ademola, Freddie Simmonds and Harry Howell would disagree!

Harry Howell has started for the England U-17s in their first qualifier of this break against Israel. England lead 1-0 after 36 minutes. Freddie Simmonds is on the bench.

Sebastian Ademola and his Norwegian U-17 team-mates begin their first qualifier, against hosts Spain, in just over an hour.

No first teamers or loanees, apologies! Will leave the youngsters to you

Baleba starts - and we get a shoutout after just a minute and a half

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Packed stadium.

 

[Han Solo]

Packed stadium.

Well... they're playing in South Africa. Limited interest I guess.

 

[Terry Connor]

Goalless at HT which is a surprise. Mbuemo also playing for Cameroon.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Still goalless in the 86th minute. Pretty embarrassing, for Cameroon (FIFA ranked 49), if they fail to find a winner, against opposition ranked 159th.

 

[Triggaaar]

International breaks are annoying and tedious but this one really is at a stupid time in the season. Also, these qualifiers are pointless now as pretty much everyone will get in now they’ve expanded the World Cup.

Except Scotchland

Somewhere out there, a Cameroonian @Bozza is starting a "one point gained or two points dropped" thread

 

[El Turi]

Did Baleba come through unscathed?

 

[AZ Gull]

Seb Ademola on the bench.

Sebastian Ademola came on as a 90th minute sub as the Norwegian U-17s narrowly lost 2-1 to Spain.

 

[pigmanovich]

Did Baleba come through unscathed?

Managed the full 90 without being clattered

 

[El Turi]

Mitoma starts for Japan. I think they qualify if they win so hopefully he’ll get through this alright and is then rested for the next match.

Subbed off at 76' - wasn't involved in Japan's only goal, which was scored by Palace's Kamada, as of 85'
