[Albion] Albion players on international duty - June 2024

[AZ Gull]

Bart Verbruggen starts for the Netherlands. Tom McGill is on the bench for Canada.

 

[Durlston]

Just watched Gibraltar 0-0 Wales.

Shocking performance from the Welsh with no inventive passing, players who clearly didn't give a f*** for the travelling supporters and Gibraltar fully deserving of their draw.

Captain Josh Sheehan blamed the dry pitch (despite looking pristine) and too many substitutes disrupting the flow of the game. So are you going to say that to Rob Page, Josh?

This result has to be up there with the home thrashing by Armenia in Cardiff last summer. Now a draw with the country ranked 205 in the world. Taxi for Page!! Steve Cooper in?

Tariq Lamptey starts for Ghana against Mali. Signing-to-be Ibrahim Osman is on the bench.

 

[Durlston]

Bart Verbruggen starts for the Netherlands. Tom McGill is on the bench for Canada.

Canada have some fantastic players starting tonight in Alphonso Davies, Ismael Konè, Cyle Larin and Jonathan David amongst others. 8/1 looks tempting for a wager.

Junior Toilett on the bench - he must be about 37 now?

Abdallah Sima on the bench for Senegal.
