Serbia are 2 up now according to GreenScene.

**gspain** · 07/10/2010, 2:45 PM

We are 5-0 up and serbia 2-0 up.

**tetsujin1979** · 07/10/2010, 2:48 PM

5-0 now to the boys in green

**gspain** · 07/10/2010, 2:49 PM

we won 5-0 Serbia now 3-0 up.

**gspain** · 07/10/2010, 2:51 PM

3-0 res to Serbia. A win on saturday v bulgaria will most likely put us through. Even a draw will probably do given the goal difference.

From the GreenScene updates:
"Five goals, a clean sheet, eleven shots on target, you can’t really ask for more. Hopefully Trapattoni and the Irish senior team were looking at this match today. A masterclass of soccer. Well done boys."
High praise from that lad. 5-0 is a brilliant way to start your tenure as manager, even if it is against Luxembourg.

They drew with Turkey last year, so their under 19 side must not be too bad - I suppose those players are gone on to u21 now though.

EDIT: They had some of the same players, but Turkey had 22 shots in the match.

Yeah, you'd imagine a draw would be more than enough at this stage after a 5-0 win, and Bulgaria losing 3-0.

Perhaps Turkey's U19s weren't particularly strong?
Maybe I'm being a bit cynical. By all accounts it was a convincing performance and it's certainly an impressive result.

Sort of reminds me of that friendly vs Sweden to start off Stan's campaign. :eat:

**zackmorris** · 09/10/2010, 2:44 PM

Currently 2-1 up against Bulgaria with a couple of mins to go. McGinty and Brady the scorers, they were one-nil down at half time.

**tommy_c12000** · 09/10/2010, 2:50 PM

Just over. Great win for the Irish! Well done to the lads!

Don't be too surprised if Brady makes a few of Manchester United's Carling Cup squads this season.

**tetsujin1979** · 09/10/2010, 3:14 PM

completely forgot this was on, congratulations to the young boys in green,
a great result coming from behind as well
through to the Elite Round now, with the final game against Serbia (who beat Luxembourg 3-0) on Tuesday to determine the final standings.

**geysir** · 09/10/2010, 3:27 PM

A draw might well be enough to top the group.

**tommy_c12000** · 09/10/2010, 4:04 PM

Just checked the format there. Am I right in saying that there are 28 teams now through to the elite phase (after this round) meaning there will be 7 groups of 4, with only the 7 group winners qualifying along with Romania the hosts?? Really shows the fine line between success and failure at underage international level

**AlaskaFox** · 09/10/2010, 8:12 PM

You're exactly right, same with the under 17s. 7 group winners and the hosts.

**liamoo11** · 10/10/2010, 2:11 PM

Maybe there are better options available at the minute?
These boys don't seem to be having any trouble scoring. 7 goals scored in 2 games and only 1 conceded is fantastic.
