I know - soon, Irish-qualified midfielders will be declaring for England to improve their chances of having an international career. :)Quote:

Thank You. I knew he had Ireland on his mind.Quote:

That's a very good point. I have said in recent years that Irish lads should go anywhere but England in order to get a technical and tactical apprenticeship. But the achievements of the England underage teams over the last few months (they are world champions at 3 age groups) just cannot go unnoticed. They are obviously doing something right at the moment, and should be in a position to challenge for the World Cup itself in the next ten years. And liamo correctly points out that any Irish lad going into that environment can only benefit.Quote:

I wouldn't necessarily think so. They have one of the biggest playing populations in the world and the richest clubs. They could easily be where they are based on pure luck.Quote:

Ryan Cassidy (16) is now up to 9 goals in his last 7 games for Watford U18s
is he eligible for the current 17s?Quote:

Elsewhere, Shane McLoughlin and James Finnerty faced each other as Ipswich beat Aston Villa 2-1, while Anthony Breslin and Connor Ronan lined out for Wolves against Norwich, with Ronan earning an assist and Breslin involved in the build-up for one of the other goals: https://www.wolves.co.uk/news/under-23/20171106-late-canaries-double-stuns-wolves/

Elsewhere, Dan Cleary, Corey O'Keeffe all lined out for Birmingham against Burnley, while Paudie O'Connor captained Leeds against Nottingham Forest
Judging by pictures, the lad McKeown has some African ethnicity. The first name would really lend itself to an Irish background. The second name is Irish too but the first provides the icing on the cake.Quote:
