International Break Thread

Just been looking at both squads

So much talent coming through. It’s a good experience for Mayenda tonight, even if it’s only 5 minutes on the pitch

 

Some of the u21 squads this break have been absolute jokes. England, France, Germany, Spain just to name a few

 

I really shouldn't, but you got me.
Which is it, keep signing players like Le Fee, Mundle, Mayenda, Bellingham, Rigg, or sign a 35 year old (in June) Jordan Henderson?

 

Argentina v Brazil at midnight

Potential to be a classic but that’s very rare with these two these days. Just a single goal in most of their recent meetings

 

Beat me to it...

Argentina 4-1 Brazil

Just the 5 yellow cards each

 

Is that the international break over so we can get back to the proper football?

 

Already looking forward to Regis’ press conference hopefully a positive update on Hume

 

Is the Rigg goal anywhere?

 

Aye, that’s been the longest 6 weeks of my life.

 

Football is back tomorrow...

Quiet game

 

Very surprised they’ve got Barcelona playing Thursday night. A load of their squad have been away for international duty. Raphinha played 90 minutes for Brazil during the night…

 

Now, if I was a betting man... barca will probably still win

 

2-0 up and cruising

Anyway, that’s it for the season as far as international breaks go!

 

Hume and Ballard in the squad, as expected

 

Milan Aleksic played 84 minutes for Serbia u21s this afternoon

 

Class, really do think we have a cracking players on our hands with him. Def needs a loan, I've messaged a few scouts i know and I've told them they should be signing him on loan - hopefully one gets their club to reach out to Sunderland on it

 

Hume and Ballard both start away at Denmark

That’ll be a good test for the lads
