1-0 to Serbia.
Spain-Belgium postponed. Will play at 17:00 tomorrow night.
Irish match is on at the nearby venue. No news about it yet.
Serbia are 1-0 up against Turkey. Miloš Jojić of FK Teleoptik scored in the 57th minute. About 10 minutes to go in that game.
I see there's diving (not of the footballing variety) on Eurosport at the minute. I'd been hoping they might have switched to broadcasting the Serbia-Turkey game.
Gutted there's no stream, was really looking forward to seeing our game....
The Indo has a very anti-football agenda right now and are very quick to put a halo around all things rugby related. However, I thought the article you refer to was a decent enough article in fairness and Mick Wallace's quotes were bang on and added balance. It was strange that The Indo felt that Trap, being another foreigner wheeled in to tell us what to do, might be a factor. I didn't hear many complain about Joe Schmidt!
Irish Times today reports that only about 1,000 Irish will travel to NZ for the rugby, but will be joined by the ex-pat / backpacking entourage. That's pretty disappointing I reckon.
Anyway, I'm just back from a few days with my family in Rathfarnham. The Stuttgart Rathfarnham Castle Playground survey repeated its April result: Of the kids wearing branded sports gear there was one one Dublin GAA, one Leinster rugby shirt, one Leinster pair of tracky bottoms, 2 Arsenal shirts (brothers I think - dad must be a fan!), 2 Man U, 2 Liverpool, one Argentina football, one Italy football. Only one Ireland football shirt and it was one of those unofficial Dunnes Stores jobbies. One grown up was wearing an Irish rugby shirt.
Of those playing games on the grass, there was one group of hurlers, one group playing football and two lads with a rugby ball. I think there were all part of the same larger group - which confirms my view that kids now play everything, which is good.
Might be lucky if it's played this evening at all. From what I can make out, Mogoşoaia, where the Spain-Belgium game was called off due to adverse weather, is 8 kilometres away from Buftea, where our match is taking place. Any update on it?
As for the Serbia-Turkey game, 64th minute substitute, Nikola Trujić, put Serbia 2-0 up in the 89th minute in. Game just finished there. Not a surprising result considering how Serbia performed in qualifying, although I don't understand at all why they were considered such outsiders to win the competition outright by the bookies.
They've announced the line-ups for our game on UEFA.com, although it doesn't appear to have started yet...
Are they going to continue the Spain game from the 19th minute at 1-0 or start the game from the beginning again at 0-0? Has anything like that ever happened before?Code:1 Stefanos Kapino (GK) 1 Aaron McCarey (GK)

Thankfully, our match is under way. Best of luck to the lads.
1-0 to us already! Anthony O'Connor in the second minute. Brilliant.
yippeee
Greece just equalised. 1-1.
Greece score!
There are links to view the Romania-Czech match here, for anyone interested: http://www.myp2p.eu/broadcast.php?ma...79&part=sports
It's being broadcast on Eurosport 2.
The rain looks torrential.
Our man in the stadium is doing his best to provide commentary for us:

Nicolae Stanciu puts Romania 1-0 up against the Czechs with what looked like a freak effort from just outside the right edge of the box. Looked like he was attempting a cross with the side of his foot but somehow managed to misfire it past the completely lost keeper and into the net at the far post.
No stream : (
Watching Cardiff V Celtic instead - Mason and Gerrard starting for Cardiff.
Czechs make it 1-1 against Romania. Tomáš Přikryl scored from a tight angle beating the keeper at the near post. Poor defending and goalkeeping. Half-time in that game now.
Both games are under way again.
The Spain-Belgium game will be replayed in full tomorrow evening: http://www.uefa.com/under19/news/newsid=1652223.html
