Cillian Sheridan (Celtic), Alan Power (Nottingham Forest) and James Ryan (Liverpool) were all originally named in the squad, but have been pulled out by their clubs.

Gleeson was on the bench for Wolves at the weekend.

1 each. Rooney scored for us. Germany scored with 4 mins. to go.

Lost 1-0 to Portugal today.

No shame in that, Portugal have a long tradition in underage football, and the Irish squad is depleted, Rooney (who scored against Germany) had to leave, and so did Eddie Nolan. The original squad was missing Cillian Sheridan amongst others, most notably Anthony Stokes, who won't be playing for any of the underage sides anymore.
