Oxo Cube on bench

[Saint Smiler]

For today's England u'19 Championship game vs Switzerland. With any luck he will come on and bag the winner. Game starts 5:30 Swiss time I think.

Shame it's not on tv, would have thought eurosport would show it, but I see they are showing the Toulon tournament - didn't Schneiderlin play in that last year and score a nice goal, I know it's a nice albeit rare moment when he does score so im sure I would remember it!

You say a rare moment.. for U19s, U20s and U21s combined he's scored 4 in 18, it seems only when he's playing for Southampton he doesn't understand what the word goal means!

Its 2-1 to England at half time, Luke Williams (Middlesbrough) and Michael Ngoo (Liverpool I think) getting our goals.
Get Oxo on for 2nd half I say!

Only 1 in each group can go through and Spain's in our group, so probably not going to progress.

 

[Saint Smiler]

Yeah it's a tough ask, they beat Montenegro 3-0 earlier. If we beat the Swiss and then Spain though, happy days!

 

[Saint Smiler]

The Oxo cube be on. Will get a half hour or so to run at them. Providing he doesn't get injured, and gets a little time off I think it's good he is getting some game time, any time with the England squad at any age group can only be good for ones career surely.

The Oxo cube be on? Are you a pirate or from the West Country

Haha! I am from Dorset ooh arr, minus the accent. No pirate tendancies, just use English in an odd way sometimes I suppose. I also like to speak ye olde English from time to time, but I shall not bore thou with that!

Finished 3-2 to England. George Thorne (West Brom) got the late winner.
Should be a good game vs Spain on sunday to see who goes through, hopefully the Oxo will start.

Very late equaliser for Switzerland, followed by winner at death for England. Sounds a good game, unless you're Swiss (Sorry Markus).

Switzerland were one of my teams of choice at the World Cup last year. Lost to Luxembourg in the qualifiers, then beat Spain. Looking forwards to Saturday's game.
