Off Topic International Break Thread

If and when Harry and Hugo shake hands tomorrow as captains of England and France, will it be the first time that players from the same team have met as captains of opposing international teams? I would suspect not, but don't know when it has. Perhaps the first time for two players based in England for this?

 

Seems unlikely. Some squads have had 7 or more international captains in them.
Beckham captained England when he was at Utd and Real, so I'd be surprised if it didn't happen then, if not well before that.
Still a nice thing to see, though.

 

Quite a lot of Everton players, but that's probably a good thing, as they bring them through.
They'll have added opportunities this season with the Europa League, too.

 

And here's ten minutes of his performances, if anyone wants to see what Dier Hard's talking about:

The new revolutionary one and a quarter at the back system

 

Is that Fazio alongside a muppet's song?

 

De doo de-doo-de

 

I couldn't put it into words.

 

I dislike unnecessary friendlies where key players of clubs are risked especially during the season.

 

Apologies if someone already mentioned it though I couldn't see anything but as we got caught up celebrating the U20's World Cup win, another England U20 side won the Toulon Tournament, beating Ivory Coast on penalties.

Our CB Japhet Tanganga was a second half sub in the final. So congrats to him and the team, too .

Good weekend for England U20s!

 

And it worked: 6-0 at FT with six different players on the score sheet, 36 shots on goal and 80% of possession.

Best of all, the first goal was scored by Fazio

 

Will Hugo be shaking hands with anyone?
England will be resting their dodgy 'keeper. After his faux pas, France might do the same.

 

Hands aren't Hugo's problem. If there was going to be a footshake anything could happen.

 

Cahill, Jones and Stones in the 3 man defence. Mbappe is going to have an absolute field day.

 

Why do ITV use Ryan Giggs on England matches ?

 

He played for England schoolboys, didn't you know?

 

Kane. 1-0.
