No long travels for Ndidi and Musa (if it matters)

TheHitman™ Posted 20 March 2017 Posted 20 March 2017 I'm going to see Vardy in Dortmund Play Germany and Chillwell and Gray play Germany U21 in Wiesbaden this week!!!! It sucks I won't see Musa and Ndidi play in England against Senegal and Burkina Faso.
lgfualol Posted 20 March 2017 Posted 20 March 2017 Lawrence has pulled out of the Wales team with injury I think. Surprised Barnes hasn't been called up to any England set-ups. Playing well and regularly in league 1 isn't enough apparently.

He played u17s, 18s, and 19s as a MK dons player. He played U21s when he was loaned back to MK as Spurs bought him in January. We're talking about Barnes getting into the U19s here, not the senior squad.
kushiro Posted 21 March 2017 Posted 21 March 2017 From The Japan Times: Resurgent Okazaki aiming to take club form into World Cup qualifiers by Gus Fielding Mar 20, 2017 AL, AIN UNITED ARAB EMIRATES – Leicester City striker Shinji Okazaki is hoping to carry his recent club form onto the international stage when Japan takes on the United Arab Emirates in Thursday’s final-round World Cup qualifier in Al Ain. Okazaki is back in favor at the Foxes and his typically energetic performances have helped them turn a corner since the sacking of Italian coach Claudio Ranieri. Okazaki has started Leicester’s last five games in all competitions, four of them wins, including a 2-1 defeat of Sevilla that secured the Premier League title holders a place in the quarterfinals of the Champions League. “The turning point (at Leicester) came two or three weeks ago. The team started playing a more aggressive style from the front and that is why I fitted back into the team,” Okazaki told reporters after Japan trained for the first time on Sunday after arriving in the United Arab Emirates. “Physically and mentally, I am confident I can take my form onto the world stage. As a forward, I am not scoring goals but I feel I know what I have to do to help the team win.” Okazaki is among a number of veterans in the current national team that no longer command a regular place in the starting lineup. But Japan coach Vahid Halilhodzic emphasized the importance of experience when he named his squad for the qualifiers against United Arab Emirates and the March 28 game against Thailand, sticking with out-of-favor AC Milan attacker Keisuke Honda and also recalling Gamba Osaka utility man Yasuyuki Konno. Although the goals have dried up for both club and country — he is still one short of the 50-goal milestone for the national team, having not scored since a 7-2 win over Bulgaria last June — Okazaki believes he still has a contribution to make. “What this team needs is goals and it is what I also need to add to my game for my own future and to help Japan qualify for the World Cup,” said Okazaki. “I say the same thing every time, but I am proud to be selected for the national team and I keep getting called up because of what I have achieved with my club. “We need to have cool heads when we are playing away from home and need to have players that will stand up and fight. That is where experience really counts.” Japan suffered a controversial 2-1 defeat to United Arab Emirates in its opening match in the final round of qualifiers in September last year when Takuma Asano had a legitimate goal that would have leveled the match 2-2 ruled out. Japan reach the halfway stage of the final round of qualifiers level on 10 points with Group B leader Saudi Arabia. Third-place Australia and the fourth-place UAE both have nine points, with Iraq on three and bottom side Thailand on one. “We made life difficult for ourselves by losing the first game against UAE but came back from that and we are sort of back at the starting point again,” said Okazaki. “So are we going to make it a successful story or are we going to repeat the same thing? It is really up to us. “Thailand have showed how well they can play by drawing with Australia and we can’t let up in either of these two upcoming games.”

Of course he is the one who was dropped in favour of a style that didnt work and so probably why he's the one who feels pissed off enough to state it so clearly. Not that we needed it, but further puts to bed the idea of players not playing for Claudio

I think Algeria are playing a friendly against Sudan but there are different dates on different sites (unless they are playing then twice!) EDIT: clearly there is no game re the club website
NGoloMode Posted 21 March 2017 Posted 21 March 2017 You can see why Nigeria didn't qualify if they play Musa up front

easilee Posted 22 March 2017 Posted 22 March 2017 Aye. World champs and we look the better team. Friendly though.
AmarteyAndChill Posted 22 March 2017 Posted 22 March 2017 I like the system we play as it suits our attacking full backs and our attacking midfielders. Swap Smalling for stones, that would be my first choice back 5. Also, Livermore is average at best.
