WoollyRedHat

France play Brazil, 1-1 and into the second half.
Live on ITV4

Will I Amnt

It's 1-3 now by the way, you gave up on this thread very easily

WoollyRedHat

Ha computer froze. Neymar's goal was an absolute beaut.

Looking at France's team though, they've got some crop of players... if Fekir does declare for them you would very much fancy them as frontrunners for the Euros and beyond

WoollyRedHat

Very close from Fekir, lovely bit of play from Kondogbia as well.

Colombian beat Bahrain in a friendly early. This must be the only country where lots of people where actually wearing their jerseys for such an irrelevant game.

DenMan

Surprised that Iran beat Chile 2-0. Well done to them! Carlos Queiroz must be doing a great job with them.

I'd say they play together a whole lot more than Chile and that effect can't be understated

Queiroz resigned recently effective end of march.
He cited "internal pressures" as his reason. Strange considering he had signed a long term deal only recently. Almost missed this game due to not being aloud leave Iran for tax evasion which wasnt even his fault. He was eventually reconnected with the players a day later after catching a later flight. All things considered he is getting good results in what seems a very tough working enviroment.

Didn't know any of that. Sounds absolutely mental. You couldn't pay me enough to work in a country like that.

WoollyRedHat

Not even for 1 billion dollars?

Euro qualifiers kick off tonight. Matches tonight all kicking off at 19:45:

Slovakia vs Luxembourg
Macedonia vs Belarus
Liechtenstein vs Austria
Switzerland vs Estonia
Slovenia vs San Marino
Montenegro vs Russia
Moldova vs Sweden
England vs Lithuania
Spain vs Ukraine

Ones to watch

I think the pick of the international friendlies will be Brazil vs. Chile which will be played in the Emirates on Sunday at 15:00.

Will be watching England vs. Lithuania tonight, be interesting to see if Kane starts and who will be on the flanks.

Harry Palmr

Just a heads up for free footie fans - ITV is also showing Brazil v Chile on Sunday afternoon. and Euro 2016 Qualifier: Georgia v Germany on ITV4

KevIRL

Is the england match only on ITV tonight?

CSF

Theres something seriously wrong with Roy Hodgson. One of the most on form players in world footballer, ah I'll bench him for Danny Welbeck and Wayne Rooney.

Akinfeev hit by a flare in Montenegro, match suspended.

WoollyRedHat

Idiots to say the least. Flares need to be banned, you just can't trust the general public.

ETA: O.G in England game... England 2, Lithunania 0.
Danny with the header then a richochet into goal

Will I Amnt

Didn't take long for Kane to make his mark :pac:

Netherlands v turkey looks like the pick of the bunch for this evening games.

Bulgaria v Italy probably the next best.

Mint Sauce

Any of the ITVs showing Ireland v Poland tomorrow night?

Ulysses Gaze

Dutch got out of jail there big time.

WoollyRedHat

Cold cold cold, HOT HOT HOT!

Chile vs. Brazil, 15:00 ITV4.

Corholio

Fairly feisty Brazil-Chile match so far. Medel scummily stamping on Neymar the worst.

ITV can only show England and one other game that does not include Ireland, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland each match day.

Sky have the rights to every game apart from the England game and what ever game ITV choose

citytillidie

There is protest arranged for outside the Northern Ireland match apparently for having to play on a Sunday

Bobby Baccala

Firmino's goal for Brazil was great, lovely play

kfallon

Ffs the Germany game is 'blocked' on UPC :mad:

briany

The fans went crazy, great to see!

briany

NI really giving a great go at the Finns here. Had a gilt edged chance just there. Expect them to score soon.

briany

Scots just went ahead again. Not making it an easy game on themselves, though.

Unearthly

Gibraltar goalkeepers are lol

Ulysses Gaze

2-1 Scotland. Steven Fletcher. His first in 6 years. :eek:

Mr.Nice Guy

The defending from Gibraltar there was woeful.

Ulysses Gaze

Ridiculous challenge in the box by Gibraltar. Penalty.

3-1 Scotland.

Mr.Nice Guy

1-0 to NI. Kyle Lafferty with a nice volley. I think maybe it's the Finns who don't like to work on Sunday.

Mr.Nice Guy

Header by Lafferty. 2-0.

Johner

2-0 to NI now.
