UEFA EURO U21 Championships

Will Marin play?

have no idea, when özil is playing in the centre midfield i think yes

Germany will probably play like this

-----------------Neuer------------------------
--Beck--Boateng---Höwedes---Boenisch
-------------Aogo---Khedira------------------
--Castro------------------------Marin---------
---------------Özil-----------------------------
---------------------Dejagah------------------

Why doesn´t Hummels play? He did always pretty well together with Höwedes in the central defence.

Btw. Your Avatar is great, Haeschen. Khedira does look a little bit like a younger version of Helge Schneider, doesn`t he?

I also liked the picture of Höwedes playing golf. Very cool.

i'm looking forward to the spain vs germany game, i'm guessing this maybe spains line up


---------------Asenjo


--Torres-----Chico--Sanchez--Canella

---Grenero---R.Garcia--Javi---capel-

------------Bojan----López


but caro is saying bojan may not start, because he wants someone more physical up front

Hummels has next to no match practise after his injury, so I guess Hrubesch won't want to take the risk to play him against Spain.

Yeah, Höwedes' pics are hilarious as well, as is the one of Fromlowitz kissing a camel.

Oh, right, I forgot about that. Hmm, but still I think I would prefer this lineup

-----------------Neuer------------------------
--Beck--Hummels---Höwedes---Boenisch--
-----------Castro---Khedira------------------
--Ebert-------------------------Marin---------
---------------Özil-----------------------------
---------------------Dejagah------------------

And I also somewhat wonder why Özil plays as second striker instead of Marin. Don't know it for sure, but I think Marin is the better finisher...

Pity though, we don't have any decent strikers in this age class.

Especially the second one.

England XI: vs. Finland: Hart, Cranie, Richards, Mancienne, Gibbs, Cattermole, Muamba, Noble (c), Milner, Agbonlahor, Walcott

Looking forward to see the next generation of footballers coming through...

Can anybody give me some indicators which handful of youngsters(obviously aware of the English players) that perhaps i shoud keep an eye out for?

I like Peace tactics. We will out run you, out pace you and if that fails...... Cattermole will break your legs

Hasn't Muamba been complete shit for Bolton? Isn't there any other midfielder we could play.

What happened to Fabian Delph?

I'd rather see Rodwell over Muamba. Why isn't Rodwell playing?

Some to watch out for IMO:
Italy: Balotelli & Giovinco are obvious stars, Abate & De Ceglie could be the surprises.
Serbia - Babovic is the one I am most interesting in seeing - heard some good stuff about this kid! Also Kacar.
From Spain, I want to watch Krkic - can he achieve his potential. Ozil and Marin from Germany. Walcott from England. Those would be my picks.

Hetemaj and Sparv are playing well.

Not looking good, it's currently 1-1 but we are now down to ten men after Mancienne got sent off for a rugby tackle challenge in his own box. Sparv converted the penalty.

2-1 England.

10 man England win

FT: England 2-1 Finland.

Micah Richards powered in a header from a corner for the winner.

We are playing without a genuine target man anyway, so I guess our attacking mids will all play very variable roles and change their positions during the match.

I also prefer Ebert in midfield, but would bench Castro instead of Aogo for him. He rarely convinced me when wearing the German jersey.

Official line-up (4-2-3-1):
Neuer - Beck, Boateng, Höwedes, Boenisch - Castro, Khedira, Aogo, Marin - Özil, Dejagah

Ja, and Gabby got the other.

spain's confirm line up


------------asenjo

Sanchez----chico--Terrejon---Nacho

----------Javi----R.garcia

---Sisi-------Genero----Jurado

--------------Bojan

not a fan of this line up

Where is Muniesa?

Is Sisi the Valladolid guy?

playing with the juvinel A team, in the copa del rey

kas wrote:Is Sisi the Valladolid guy?

He was on loan there two seasons ago...but he went to Recreativo last season.

Some good moves from Spain early. Sisi causing trouble with his pace down the right.

what if spain had been able to take all their eligible players, the team would look something like this.



------------asenjo

---Ramos----Pique--Sanchez---?

----------R.Garcia---Busquets

----Grenero-----Cesc---Mata

--------------Bojan
