2022 UEFA European Under-19 Championship

[Olé Olé]

There are a lot of names unnamed. The squad can only be a certain size. It feels to me like the competition in the forward positions is immense and it looks immense. The fact that dual national lads have been excluded can no longer be an issue when we name squads this strong.

This looks a very strong squad for this level.


That defence...that might actually be a stronger defence than the 17s from the Euros 5 yrs ago. That's how good they are.

Anselmo, Abankwah and Lawal would be a great three, not sure if there's anyone (Roughan perhaps?) who could play alongside Adaramola as a wing-back.

Would give a lot of licence to shoe-horn in Moran, Kenny and Armstrong - not to mention Ollie O'Neill!

Interesting calls: few of these could be explained by injuries that I’m unaware of

1/ Josh Keeley ahead of Arlo Doherty.
2/ Sean Grehan ahead of David Okahbue or Josh O’Brien
3/ Alex Murphy ahead of Val Adedokun
4) In terms of midfielders, missing names would include: John Joe Patrick Finn, Ola Ibrahim, Ben McCormack - I’d personally have them ahead of Corbally. Haven’t seen Baba Adeeko play.
5) In terms of attacking players, no Calum Kavanagh, Lee Harkin, Cristiano Fitzgerald, Ryan O’Kane, Aido Emakhu or Cian Kavanagh - I think I’d probably have one or two of them in the squad.
6) Unusual that Ollie O’Neill has been called up to both squads. I could see the logic in playing him against England and Portugal and then sending him to be on the bench for the 21s game - but if you’re game to do that, then Evan Ferguson is an obvious contender to do it. If you don’t get results in the first two games, the Armenia game doesn’t matter and to be honest, we should be able to win against Armenia without both of them anyway.
7) Interesting the number of 2004 players involved: Abankwah, Grehan, Murphy, McJannet, Nzingo - quite a high number really, considering the depth of players from 2003.

Yet again your knowledge of the underage scene is only rivalled by a handful on this site, and it's brilliant that there is so much interest in all these kids.

On 4 - isn't Ben McCormack injured? And Finn is playing fifth or sixth tier in Spain

On 5 - wonder is it because kavanagh is actually on loan (and playing for a first-team)?
On 6 - I'd have Ferguson in this side myself. But to be fair looking at the 19s forwards, you'd easily mistake it for the 21s.

They seem to have played 4 at the back previously with Abankwah as the right full. Hayes has played alot as a wide midfielder for Fleetwood this season so you'd imagine he is on the mix with Kenny to take a wide position with o neill on the other side and hopefully moran as a 10 behind Armstrong. Ben McCormack is a loss has he struggled a little bit since his bad ankle injury a 4 or 5 months ago?

If anyone has a link to watch this game tomorrow night it would be great if they could share it. Here is the link for radio coverage as a backup plan https://twitter.com/LiveSportsFM/status/1505597670047559682?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5 Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1505597670047559682%7Ctwgr% 5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bigsoccer.com%2Fthreads% 2Fengland-u-19-discussion-thread-3-r.1672065%2Fpage-313

Should be on YouTube. England will surely broadcast all their games on their YouTube channel.

1-0 england

[elatedscum]

1-1 goal from Abankwah

Sinclair Armstrong and Johnny Kenny both butchered by England. If the English commentators protestations are anything to go by, the tackle by the keeper was probably a red card…

Kenny hit the post I think.

Only including two real strikers in the squad seems to be a mistake already - Hayes playing up front but as far as I’m aware he’s a winger. Aido Emakhu, Cian Kavanagh, Callum Kavanagh, Luke Pearce, Evan Ferguson - any would be useful

[elatedscum]

2-1 to England

[Kingdom]

Been following it online. Not much interest so was going to do a report at the end.

They're just about better than nothing.

3-1 to England. Irish players claiming it was kicked out of the hands of the keeper. Cian Hayes booked for protesting.

Andy Moran not in the match day squad, who’s our only other attacking player

[gally]

Ireland one nil ahead v Portugal, Kenny scored, half hour gone, game updates here.....https://www.uefa.com/under19/match/2034020--portugal-vs-republic-of-ireland/

[zero]

a disappointing elite phase drew to a close with a comfortable win over armenia, 4-0.

moran, hayes, garcia-macnulty and caffrey with the goals.

[CSAD]

I was wondering has anyone got any idea where Sean Grehan may be going? It says he is unattached and he’s now 18 so eligible to go to the UK so wondering what’s up?
