Good news: Christian Eriksen scored for Denmark against Kosovo
Bad news: Denmark had to bring Christian Eriksen off the bench as they were 1-0 down to Kosovo, and they're currently losing 2-1
Slightly better news: Joachim Andersen is on the bench, so at least we can say a transfer target didn't commit any howlers leading to a Kosovan goal...

Anyway the Czech Republic /Czechoslovakia have always been a strong football nation. In earlier years VERY strong, so I always expect a difficult game when we play them. Eastern Europe has been very influential in world football, Hungary for example and now Croatia. Wars occupations and divisions into 'new' countries, through it all and maybe because of it they all produce serious teams.
 
How many of our boys are we expecting to see tonight?

Harry is nailed on, but I am not sure that anyone else will be starting - Walker & Chilwell should keep out Tripps and Rose, Dier or Rice looks a choice maybe Dier as its a competitive fixture, and Dele maybe Rashfords absence will let him in or will Sancho will be thrown in?

Korea/Bolivia - Son played 90 minutes
Columbia/Japan - Sanchez played 90 minutes

Thanks for that...
 
...so Argentina are 2-0 down to Venezuela at half time and Foyth's picked up a booking

Do you think they regret not including Gazza in the squad yet? Or are the team confused because they have Lautaro Martinez up front, Gonzalo Martinez behind him, and Lisandro Martinez at centre back? Pretty sure yelling "Martinez, push up!" is going to confuse at least one of them...

That being said, their experience levels are alarming
GK: Franco Armani, 4 caps
CB: Juan Foyth, 2 caps
CB: Gabriel Mercado, 25 caps (sub Walter Kanneman, 4 caps)
CB: Lisandro Martinez, first cap (sub Domingo Blanco, first cap)
RWB: Gonzalo Montiel, 1 cap
CM: Giovani Lo Celso, 11 caps
CM: Leandro Paredes, 10 caps
LWB: Nicolas Tagliafico, 13 caps
AM: Lionel Messi, 129 caps
AM: Gonzalo Martinez, 3 caps (sub Matias Suarez, first cap)
CF: Lautaro Martinez, 5 caps
