Believe players under the age of 18 are not allowed to be loaned to clubs abroad. So wouldn't say either player are on loan with Derry or Galway from Wolves. If they're even both actually Wolves players given their age.
Easy.

Our run of ridiculously difficult draws continues. Doesn't seem to matter the age group or gender at this point. Feels like we're a virtual certainty to get England in the Nations League next year.

Just like Wales' run of soft draws continues...literally every single team in their group is much easier than the weakest side in our group...
You cant help but laugh, you couldnt have hand picked a more difficult group if you tried yet we manage it every time...
It must be remembered the reason we are now in this position is because of Israel's withdraw all results against bottom sides were discarded as result. It meant we were relegated to pot 4 from pot 3 and Croatia were relegated prom pot 2 to pot 3...
Granted you know even if this wasnt the case we'd just get Belgium from pot 4 instead of Croatia/Germany.
Great experience all the same.
Would you swap POR/GER/CRO/IRL for ENG/FRA/HUN/NIR?
Not sure there's anything in it, tbh.

Easy now the Israelis embassy will be complining
Pity about the **** draw as from next year it's gonna be way tougher to qualify as UEFA reduced the finals tournament to 8 teams again.
I still don’t know why the are decreasing it to 8…really makes it down to luck of the draw more than anything as in alot of cases there isn’t much between a lot of the sides.
Looking at this group one thing we need to remember is while Croatia are of course a great footballing nation they actually aren’t that great at u17s/u19 level, last year was the first u17s they qualified for since 2015!, so you’d possibly have Ireland ahead of Croatia when it comes to CO-efficient at this level. So it’s comes down to can we pop one of Germany or Portugal are qualify as they are both just as good at u17 level as they are at senior level!
For context the ranking and co-efficient in Europe is
Germany 6th & 19,500
Portugal 7th & 18,500
Ireland 9th & 16,333
Croatia 27th & 8,667

Murray and umeh should be a good wide threath off the bench if trying to push for the win late on
1-0 down. Keeper error. It was his second & possibly third error inside the opening fifteen minutes.
