Internationals September (Euro Qualifiers + Friendlies)

Thought Izzo really struggled in the two games v Wolves recently, surprised he's starting for Italy. Acerbi at 31 only getting his 3rd or 4th cap aswell. Is the Italy defence well running dry at the minute? Surprised Florenzi and Romagnoli aren't starting this.
 
Looks great. How is Isak for the national team? He was sensational last year at Willem II.

Well the manager has finally started to play him in games, and he looked really good in the last game against Faroe Islands scoring twice early on. You can see that he's different quality compared to the others whenever he's on the ball. Hope he gets to start every game from now on!

Looks like a great prospect. Obviously no Zlatan but he’s been showing some good glimpses and im sure he Will be a regular starter (ahead of Berg), sooner than later.
 
Is this the biggest rivalry for Sweden and Norway?

It's the first qualifying game between the countries since 1977, so it's not exactly an ongoing thing. For us Noggies, the games vs Denmark in the last 10-15 years have probably had a bit more venom. And, in a decade or two from now, it will probably be the Faroe Islands or Greenland.

:confused: It isn't.
 
Finland actually play some nice stuff, I was expecting the typical physical and direct football from northern teams but they're showing they can keep the ball too.

Italy getting closer and closer to scoring though. Sensi and Barella are quality.
 
To think there were speculations that Andreas Granqvist was joining us last January. He's been atrocious this season.
 
Finland practically through if Bosnia fail to win this, would be a brilliant story and arguably bigger achievement than Iceland making the last two tournaments if you look at the respective squads.
I really hope Finland can do it and a draw against Italy would be amazing.

But Armenia is now dangerous too.....their next game is in Liechtenstein and then in Finland.
 
Oh man, that felt good.

Trying real hard to enjoy it before Sweden turn it around.

Hard to get excited. We're like United, will take the lead in the first half then completely capitulate after the break. Rinse and repeat.

It's Norway playing football so we're bound to crash and burn. No chance it ends well.
