0-0 against 10 man Turkey at home btw

Did you see the game? Turkey went a man down midway through 2nd half. Only one side in it really, some exciting football, though sadly finishing not there tonight. But very promising overall.

England Elite last night v. Turkey 1-1

 

Will Alves 90 minutes 

Ben Nelson 90 minutes 

Sammy Braybrooke unused sub

 

Turkey's goal was a penalty for handball and they had the upper hand for most of the first half. England better in the second. Alves had a couple of attempts on goal. Nelson started the move for England's equaliser. 

 

Shame Sammy didn't get on. 

 

Next match is against Romania in Stockport on Tuesday.

Belgium Win For Faes In Nations League

Wout Faes featured in Belgium's 3-1 win over Israel while Danny Ward kept a clean sheet as Wales drew with 10-men Turkey in the UEFA Nations League.
Friday's action kickstarted with the England Elite Squad, which featured City midfielder Will Alves in the starting line-up to face Turkey's Under-20s. In a feisty affair, Turkey took the lead 18 minutes in from the penalty spot.

A equaliser was found late on in Istanbul through young forward Dom Ballard, currently on loan at Blackpool from Southampton, with just two minutes left on the clock. With 90 minutes in the tank, the Elite Squad are next in action when they face Romania at Edgeley Park, Stockport, on Tuesday.

The evening's events then continued with three senior Foxes in action for their countries, starting with Faes who played 90 minutes for Belgium in a 3-1 win over Israel, putting them in prime position in League A Group 2.

Kevin De Bruyne scored twice with former Fox Youri Tielemans scoring the other on a winning night at Nagyerdei Stadion. Faes has the chance to feature once more on Monday evening (7:45pm kick-off) when the Red Devils face France. 

City's shot-stopper Ward was also in Nations League action as Wales drew with Turkey in a goalless fixture at Cardiff City Stadium; the visitors playing over half-an-hour with 10 players after Baris Yilmaz was dismissed for a second bookable offence. 

Starting League B Group 4 with a point, Wales are next in action on Monday evening (7:45pm kick-off) when they make the trip to face Montenegro at Stadion Kraj Bistrice.

The last City player to feature was new signing Bilal El Khannouss, who started and played 80 minutes as Morocco dispatched Gabon in excellent fashion, sending themselves straight to the top of Group B in the Africa Cup of Nations qualification stage.

Two converted penalty kicks from Hakim Ziyech put the hosts in front before Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang pulled one back with a spot-kick himself. The game was out out of sight in the second half when Brahim Diaz and Ayoub El Kaabi scored second half goals at Stade d'Agadir.

Elsewhere, Italy turned over a goal-deficit to beat France 3-1 as Caleb Okoli watched on as a substitute; the young defender will get the chance to feature on Monday evening in Israel at Bozsik Aréna with a 7:45pm kick-off.

All times BST.

I get that there are games that can be just about watchable, but it’s really difficult to call any of this Nations League tripe ‘exciting’. There’s nothing at stake really, they’re glorified friendlies for crap teams to play each other and decent sides to experiment.

 

Every point I’ve made probably has a counter argument, but it’s still a load of sh!te. Waste of time, pointless reason to break the season up so early to line EUFAs coffers.
