Toulon Tournament 2014

[Sean_RedDevil]

Bit early i know......but i will come back with the thread in May

The reason: Young Lions are back in Toulon (since 2005)

Group A: France, Portugal, Mexico, Chile & China
Group B: England, Brazil, Colombia, South Korea & Qatar

Gareth Southgate will take the squad out to France after the Under 21s have played a Euro 2015 qualifier against Wales on May 19, and he is relishing the prospect.

A final schedule of games is still to be confirmed, but England’s group games will take place on 22, 24, 26 and 28 May.

Southgate said: ‘This will be a different challenge with the younger players in the group, as we head to the Toulon Tournament in France.

‘That will see us playing nations from Asia and South America, so it’s a different test for us.

I hope we'll see players in the squad like Zaha, Morrison, Berahino, Redmond, Powell, Lingard, Ward-Prowse, Hughes and the Keane brothers

Barkley, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Sterling and Shaw are options too if they don't go to Brazil

 

[Snipers Breath]

Thought Zaha Morrison Lingard are too old to go.

 

[Stobzilla]

Thought Zaha Morrison Lingard are too old to go.

They are all 21 as of this season. thus will be eligible for the 2015 tournament as they will be 21 when next season starts.

I was wrong about this BTW, Lingard and Zaha are not available. Will Keane not taken.

 

[Rolandofgilead]

Anybody have the TV rights for this?

Because he has still to play the Championship final with QPR on Saturday

 

[Rolandofgilead]

This is live on BT Sport if anybody is interested

EDIT: Tonight, not now

 

[duffer]

England v Brazil is on about 20 mins on BT sport for those interested.

Butland (c), Browning, Garbutt, Moore, Keane, Ward-Prowse, Chalobah, Cousins, Redmond, Forster-Caskey, Berahino.

I could not find the Brazil team.

Is that the same Marquinos that PSG paid 30 million Euros for?

Also, Mosquito might be the best footballers name ever.

 

[Jimy_Hills_Chin]

Lucas Evangelista was one of those Traffic players that came over to train with us.

 

[Conrad]

Apparently so although it looks like he's going to Barcelona, possibly with Alves going the other way.

This thread is 3 months old and has 13 posts. The one about Ashley Williams' Twitter account is 30 minutes old and has 16.

Shame on you Caftards.

 

[duffer]

1-0 Brazil, really scappy goal. Shit from both Keane and Butland.

 

[Ekeke]

Have managed to miss all of this. Will be interesting to see how Lucas Evangelista does

 

[limerickcitykid]

England playing South Korea right now

 

[backofthenet]

1-0 England at half-time. M.Keane playing centre-back.

 

[Lane]

Should i bother to watch?

 

[limerickcitykid]

1-1. Will Keane just came on.

 

[eddiebb]

Michael Keane has been really poor in the whole tournament for England so far, unfortunately. In fact none of the defence have covered themselves in glory with the possible exception of Garbutt. And I've been so disappointed with Chalobah in the middle - his use of the ball is really weak but I had such high hopes for him when he was 16/17. I think it's inevitable that he'll have to move back to centre half sooner or later.

 

[eddiebb]

England drew 1-1 with Colombia to book their place in the 3rd/4th place playoff, with Brazil already confirmed as having won the group comfortably. England will play Portugal in the playoff with France vs Brazil in the final.
