Not to nitpick but the international window includes the 3rd game, the last 32 and last 16 games. So club could refuse to release a player for the first two group games and then released him for the next three games if the team made it that farOriginally Posted by geysir
Max Kovalevskis will probably miss the rest of the tournament with a concussion

Was just gonna say to remind everyone that the next step of the 17s journey is today.
Just in case anyone else (same as myself) cannot see tweets on this wonderful form of media, this is the team:
Republic of Ireland: Alex Noonan; Oisin McDonagh, Vinnie Leonard, Ryan Butler, Ade Solanke; Rory Finneran, Grady McDonnell, Ramon Martos; Jaden Umeh, Victor Ozhianvuna, Michael Noonan
I'm a little surprised that the double-barrelled kid, Kian McMahon-Brown isn't starting. I've been impressed by him in what I've seen.

Noonan very nearly opens the scoring with an extremely clever worked free-kick with Leonard. We look dangerous.
Also, they are adopting a very f'king annoying tactic of silly little fouls, all the time, which the ref hasn't clamped down on yet which means the game is stop start.

Great chance for Noonan great pass from McDonnell to set it up…
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Noonan probably should put us 1-0 up on 13 mins, after an amazing ball through by Grady McDonnell, but the Canuck keeper makes a very good block save, seeing the danger early and closing in on Noonan's shooting space.

Few sloppy moments at the back,need to tighten up that ….

we're playing on the same pitch as the other night - and you can see from the drone footage, it's one of two ****e pitches compared to the other 4 pristine pitches.
We're looking a bit stretched at times and it sort of feels like we're a touch leggy - almost as if the game could get away from us. Need to step it up again.

Martos should put us 1-0 up on 55 mins - batters a shot from just inside the box directly to the keepers left foot.
For anyone (yeah, right!) wondering what sh't I'm talking about on the pitches, the ball is moving across the pitch the way it would have done on the old style hockey astro pitches, even though they are fully grass. And the ball keeps running away in promising positions. it's maddening

Argentina with a last minute equaliser against Mexico, looks like it's going to penalties
Argentina won 3 out of 3 in the group stage, Mexico squeezed into the round of 32 with less disciplinary points than Saudi Arabia
Noonan! 1-0 66 mins.
The Shamrock Rovers man pounces on a mistake by the retreating Canadian centre half to rob the ball on the edge of the box, advance a touch and smash home the lead.
We could have received a similar fate a few moments earlier which we avoided due to scrambling.

Umeh should kill the game there on 76 mins. Incredible chance level with the penalty spot, plenty of time and under no pressure and shoots straight at the keeper. Had to score that one.

I cannot express how good a save Alex Noonan has just made to keep us one up.

Noonan should probably score there as well after superb work and intricacy from Umeh to square a ball across the 7 yd mark. Side foot cushioned effort scooped high over the bar.

********.
Canada equalise with a tame enough volleyed effort from the outside of the box from a long-throw. We defended that poorly to be honest and should have cleared far down the pitch.
5 mins left.

Ah that's a horrible goal to concede.
22 leagues and 26 cups and....well....none of you will ever catch up if we're being honest.
