Weird - in my experience I get blocked from senior internationals but u21 games are fine without a VPN. I was probably in Germany, so maybe there’d be some difference between EU vs non-EU or maybe because I was possibly using a device with app via the irish App Store?
Yeah says Goodrham wants to concentrate on club football for the time being and has had some personal stuff come up. Think someone mentioned his partner recently had a baby.
First professional footballer to have a personal life outside football. Lucky he's the only one with one or we'd never get any teams out on the pitch.
He hasn't played any international football at all, so plenty of time for him to decide down the line who he wants to play for internationally - if he's good enough of course.
Two games in our group today
Italy kicking off against San Marino in a few minutes: https://www.uefa.com/under21/match/2...vs-san-marino/
Latvia drawing with Norway after 40 minutes: https://www.uefa.com/under21/match/2...via-vs-norway/
Could do with a draw, or a win for Latvia in that game
Norway get the job done.

If this is what we are reduced to...
Was thinking about the team for today.
I’d go 4-3-3 but Crawford is very likely to go 5-3-2. You’d think with Lawal, Grehan and Adaramola injured (Adaramola would allow Roughan to play in the centre), we’d be less likely…
I’d go
Keeley
Curtis
O’Riordan (Murphy maybe? Not sure)
Garcia MacNulty
Roughan
Hodge
Adeeko (Phillips might be up for the battle)
Moran
Vata
Armstrong
Emakhu

No idea what the his back 5 would be. I’d guess it’s
Curtis
O’Riordan
Garcia McNulty
Murphy
Roughan
Could also play Abankwah at RCB or Roughan at LCB and Furlong at LB (no point on calling it LWB under Jim). Do you throw Adegboyega in for his debut? Bit of a risk but he’s done that with Grehan…
Hodge will play and then it’s a choice between Phillips physicality and aggression and determination, Adeeko’s mobility and creativity and Healy’s industry and passing.
Moran will surely play, which probably means Vata won’t.
Armstrong and Emakhu up top also seems obvious in that system and it’s worked well in the past.

Just bought a house and his missus is pregnant so he doesn't want a call up. I would write this lad off.
Anyone recommend a website that might be showing the game.
Have a strong feeling RTE news will be blocked for any of us overseas.

Team playing well, need to improve delivery from set pieces
Moran not on the ball enough. We are doing ok, Armstrongs decision making needs to improve
Its really not that complicated!!!
