All their matches are on ITV4 so get those rattles out!
Well done Luca and the England U17s, winning their second game with a scoreline of 2-1. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44032125
Luca is playing in the match v Switzerland tonight. Live on ITV4, kick off 7pm. Meanwhile Steven Sessegnon is in the England U18 squad off to China later this month for the 'Panda Cup'. They have games lined up against the hosts, Uruguay and Hungary. Also, Cyrus Christie is in the Republic of Ireland squad for friendlies against Celtic (!), USA and France at the end of the month. Although you can expect him to be withdrawn since ....
Solid game by Lucas and although the side went down 1-0, to a deflected goal, they're through to the quarter finals.
Good and confident display by Luca Asby-Hammond today. please log in to view this image As England U17s defeat Norway 2-0 in the Euro quarter finals. Either Netherlands or Ireland in the semi.
Ollie Norwood is in the Northern Ireland squad for games against Panama and Costa Rica. Time will tell if he's still a Fulham player by then.
Netherlands it was in the semi final and drat me, don't England go and lose in a penalty shoot out. It was 0-0 after full time and arguably Luca kept his side in the game. The penalty 'score' was 6-5 in favour of the Dutch but Luca played his part here as well, with the best effort of them all - As you'll recall he did similar in Fulham U23's cup win over Huddersfield.
Guess everybody will know by now that Alexandar Mitrovic is in the Serbian World Cup squad. Another loanee, Tomas Kalas has also been called up for his country but plans to have a break before joining the Czech Republic squad. A quite inspiring selection is Luca de la Torre being promoted to the main USA team for friendlies against the Republic of Ireland and France at the beginning of June. This follows great performances by Luca in the US U20 CONCAF winning team last February . please log in to view this image https://www.ussoccer.com/stories/20...calls-25-players-to-europe-for-ireland-france
Alexandar Mitrovic didn't score last night as World Cup qualifiers Serbia went down 1-0 and a late goal to Chile. Although no longer "one of ours" worth a wee mention since the result and Mitrovic's performance (he was subbed) won't hurt his transfer fee.. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44320575
Another no longer "one of ours", Tomas Kalas, scored the only goal of the match as the Czech Republic beat Nigeria 1-0 in a pre-World Cup friendly.
