Looks like Nelson was wearing the captain's arm band by the end of the match. 

Looking at the amount of subs made, I think half the time might have had a go with it :P

Bittersweet night for Ireland debutant Cannon
Updated / Tuesday, 11 Jun 2024 23:00

A night to forget for the team perhaps, but a memorable occasion on the western coast of Portugal for Tom Cannon who nearly claimed a goal on his international debut.

That opportunity shortly after the hour mark was a rare foray into enemy territory as the Republic of Ireland were well and truly outclassed 3-0 by their Euro 2024-bound hosts, with Ronaldo bagging a brace and his team coughing up numerous chances to add to their tally.

The English-born forward, who scored twice in 13 appearances as Leicester City secured promotion to the Premier League this season, represented the Boys in Green at Under-21 level but had previously been described as taking "time to reflect" on his international future.

Interim manager John O'Shea however kept the line of communication open with the forward, calling him into the squad last month and handing him is debut shortly after Ronaldo had put the hosts 2-0 up in the 49th minute.

"A very proud day for me and my family," he told RTÉ Sport after the game. "It’s a tough one to take, a defeat, but Portugal are a good side with top-quality players.

"They are probably one of the favourites for the Euros."

Cannon came as close as any Irish player to finding the back of the Portuguese net when a long ball lifted over the top saw him get the better of Danilo, cutting inside the defender before his sliding shot hit the side-netting.

Was reading comments from some of the Irish fans, seems he left a good impression, number of them saying he was their best player on the night once he came on.

Not sure if its a post for this thread or should be a separate topic within the Euro 2024 section, but have we got a list anywhere of all the Leicester players playing at the Euros (or in squads)?

 

Feels like a sign of where we are at the moment that we are discussing Danny Ward and Tom Cannon in this thread: neither of whose teams qualified. Its not long ago we could tune into a lot of games with some interest from a Leicester point of view. :ermm:

From the top of my head...

 

Kristiansen, Vestergaard, Faes, Akgun and Hermansen.

Worse than I thought... Akgun has already left and Kristiansen has been conspicuous by his absence.

 

Presuming Hermansen doesn't start over Schmeichel, that would leave us being represented by just the dynamic duo: our centre back pairing of Faes and Vertergaard... The Bodyguard Duo!!!

So 1 day after I asked the question, it was nice of the BBC to come out with a club by club list for all Premier League clubs (yes - we are now Premier League again!):

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c10303qy2ydo

 

It lists for us:

Yunus Akgun - Turkey
Wout Faes - Belgium
Mads Hermansen - Denmark
Jannik Vestergaard - Denmark

 

So Kristiansen hasn't actually made the Denmark squad, and with Akgun no longer out player, it is just the 3.

 

Mind you - we've not an outlier:

Ipswich (0), Forest (2), Bournemouth (3), Everton (3), Fulham (3), Southampton (3) & Wolves (3) mean we are one of 8 teams with less than 4.

 

(At the other end of the spectrum is Man City with 13 players - that's what FFP rules will do for a fair balance...)

Kristiansen is in the Denmark squad?

Akgun isn’t our player no more

If VK has a good tournament it may just bring in a few decent offers, presuming he doesn't want to come back.

If he stays and plays under a new manager then still good. Win win for us if he shines
