England Update Robinson, Mills, Smith, Woodgate, and Bowyer have all been called into the 20-man squad to face portugal at Villa Park this saturday at 3pm BST. Should be fun.... There are only 3 strikers total, so i expect Smith to have a lot of time. only James is the other keeper so Robbo will get 45 min i think.
England 1 - 1 Portugal of course the goal was scored by Alan Smith. And guess who crossed it to him? No one else than Lee Bowyer. Mills had a good match at right back, and Woody had a quiet time at centreback, only making a few key tackles when required Smith was also MOTM by sky. Smith - 90min Bowyer - 60min Mills - 45 min (1'st half) Woodgate - 45 min (2'nd half) Robinson - 0 minutes
Robinson, Mills, Woodgate, and Smith called up for qualifier against Slovakia and Macedonia. Matteo is out 2 weeks, he is having the joint in his knee cleaned out tomorrow.
Woody starts in the centre of defence alongside Southgate today against Slovakia. Mills is replaced by Gary Neville (that's a slap in the face) and Robbo is of course on the bench while Seaman starts. There is no concrete news on Smith yet, but rumour has it that he will also be on the bench (even though he should start in my opinion)
Robinson didn't make the bench. Mills stayed on the bench. Woodgate played 90min and did quite well Smith played started on the bench, but came on late in the match. He came on so late that he only played half a second (i'm not joking, i timed it.) there were 4 min of injury time and he came on at 4.10 about. The ref blew the whistle just after seaman kicked the ball for the restart.
Its been reported that Southgate will make way for Sol Campbell. That means Sol/Woody at the back. Not sure about Mills or Smith's status yet, but people are calling out for Smith to start.
why alan why? he gets a red car with a few minutes left to go in the game vs macedonia. woodgate played whole game and saved a ball off the goaline. Kelly and Harte played for Ireland in their loss to Switzerland. Dacourt came on for the last 20 minutes for France.
Robinson, Mills, Woodgate and Smith all called into England camp for next week. Frazer Richardson got called up to England U-21. Ian Harte and Stephen McPhail called up for Ireland squad against Greece.
not to much happening for the leeds players on the first international day paul robinson, danny mills sat on the bench for the england game raul bravo sat on the bench for spain for maybe the first time ever, there wasn't a leeds player starting in ireland's starting lineup as stephen mcphail sat on the bench the whole game no one called up for englands u-21 team norway plays luxembourg and maybe bakke will see some action this week along with lucic who goes up against hungary
this forum needs a little action Bakke is starting today vs Romania McPhail & Harte are on the bench vs Georgia Mills is starting with Robinson on the bench for England
bakke plays full 90 for norway in 1-1 tie with romania harte and mcphail sit on bench for the whole game for ireland mills plays 43 minutes and is taken out for 'tactical reasons' for england. robinson sits behind a goalie from the 1st division in the depth chart.
