[Albion] Upcoming International break.

[Driver 8]

The shot at him came through a sea of players, so I guess he saw it late. But he pushed it straight to the danger zone. He'll get the blame for that

It was a shame as he was faultless up to then. Van Hecke played well too.

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.

So what has happened in the seven years since you posted this?

 

[AZ Gull]

All 3 on at the same time (last 4-5 minutes) in Rotterdam tonight. Has that happened with any other country apart from Ecuador?

On September 9 1981 Tony Grealish and Michael Robinson started, and then Gerry Ryan came on as a sub, for the Republic of Ireland in the 2-2 draw in the Netherlands. Robinson scored Ireland's first goal.

In an amazing coincidence, it was the same stadium as tonight!

I never realised that at the time. I wonder if Veltman might also have featured tonight if he was fit.

Doubtful, he hasn’t been called up for nearly 4 years. Massive shame for him, but probably kept him fitter over the last few seasons for us.

Was Wieffer at fault at all? Praying he wasn’t

Koeman said: “I think Mats Wieffer should step out much sooner, then JP can pick up Cucurella.”

Seems Enciso is starting for Paraguay but Gomez isn’t in the squad?

As per Brian Owen in the Argus, he is suspended for tonight's match.

FFS can’t catch a break can he

Ah I see. Fewer minutes during which to incur an injury I guess.

Double post

Plus Tom McGill for Canada facing Mexico at the SoFi Stadium in California in the CONCACAF Nations League Finals quarter-final.

It's on the Confederation's YouTube channel if you can't watch it any other way. Too late for me, 02:30 GMT. I fear Tom or Bart getting injured and not being available against Forest, so who do we have as a backup who isn't Cup tied?

McGill is yet to make his debut for Canada so it's not very likely he'll actually play during these matches. However, next man up for Albion would be Killian Cahill.

Our Joao STARTS for Brazil!

 

[Nottseagull]

1-0 Brazil after 5 mins. Penalty but he didn't take it.
He fell badly from a height at 18 mins but trainers dealt with it quickly...

In the same sentence in Portuguese (I presume), commentator just mentioned Pedro, Mitoma, Minteh and Rutter.

Luis Diaz equalises at 40 minutes against the run of play.

HT 1-1

Subbed off...

 

[Home and Away]

I still have to pinch myself every time I see our player as a Brazil no. 9. Wow.

In September 1981, Tony Grealish, Michael Robinson and Gerry Ryan all played for Ireland in a 2-2 draw in the Netherlands. Robinson scored. Mark Lawrenson also played, having left the club for Liverpool less than a month before. Future Albion manager Liam Brady captained the Republic.

Koeman said: “I think Mats Wieffer should step out much sooner, then JP can pick up Cucurella.”

Bit tough on the bloke.
He'd only been on the pitch for 2 minutes.

 

[pigmanovich]

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

Looks like he had just the one good chance
