Probably lined up like this vs Russia ? ................... Sanneh......................... .. Livramento Simeu Bellis Cover .................. Hodge ........... Palmer ..... Musah Osorio ......... Gelhardt ...... Rogers
The team today: ENGLAND: Livramento, Robinson, Cover, Hodge, Pennant, Elliott, Gelhardt, Senneh, Mighten, Dorsett, Musah.
They've got Mexico in the Semis, Portugal vs USA is the other Semi. Kind of a messed up draw system, pre-determined, means Mexico and England, the only teams to win 3/3 so far, play each other now.
That's a bit stupid. So 2 games max for this group with the 15s before we start hearing about 2003 and possibly 2004 squad selectiobs at regional camps around July time.
Jamal Musiala, who's been called up this season, is actually playing up an international age year. His school confirmed he was 13 at the time of his first call-up this season. http://www.whitgift.co.uk/NewsArticle.aspx?NewsID=395
Interesting Wales now hold U12 camps... Wonder if we will follow suit in time.(They could be taking taking talent off our hands by starts at lower levels).
Noticed that when one of our u13 players attended a camp & he is from Leicester. Was expecting him to be possibly in the England camps down the line.
Wesley Awad @WesleyAwad 12m12 minutes ago So that's Slovenia's,USA's,Russia's, Portugal's & Japan's u15's all seen in the last few days.Please to say England's are technically better
Any others we aware of ? Jude Bellingham of Birmingham supposedly may be 2003. This is from the book No Hunger in Paradise. The players. The journey. The dream. Club u14s at City that were supposedly called up at regional camps that could be 2003's ? James Trafford, James McAtee, Joe Hodge, Sam Harwood-Bellis. The last two were called up here obviously so could be 2002.
Bellingham ? Another player is Omari Hutchinson of Arsenal. Played against our u13s in the National Cup this season. So is either '03 or '04.
just fr Just for clarification.. The picture is right - this is Joe. However the details are wrong. Hodgey has been with City since he was 7 and has never signed for another club and that includes blackburn. He is a City Fan and had a season ticket since he was 3. - hence his delight in winning the fa cup in the picture I know cos I am his Dad and I have been trying to get rid of this page for years as I knew it would bite him on the arse. He is and always has been city through and through - otherwise he`d have been kicked out of the house long ago. and yes he does also qualify for Ireland He had been playing 4 for England this week...10 is Cole Palmer. Also - just in case and please dont think I am being rude. I wont answer any questions re him or the team..
Welcome Gavin and really appreciate you clearing all that up and am very happy he is a fellow blue after all Totally understand re: answering questions about Joe or the team and I'm sure the guys here respect that also. Heard Joe got man of the match against Russia which is great and congratulations to him. Such ashame our FA can't stream these games for us to watch, instead we have to rely on other FA's like Slovenia the other day. All the best to Joe and the team for the game with Mexico tomorrow.
