[Albion] The November 2023 Albion players on international duty thread

[Littlemo]

Love the way Scotland commentators are blaming the pitch. BG tees up the shite Lyndon Dykes who keeps skying everything. Spain have won the group - 3-0 up in Cyprus.

"Just another rainy night in Georgia"

Was a lovely free kick though. Maybe we have the answer for the Don’t we have anyone else that can take free-kicks thread.

 

[Durlston]

As soon as Billy Gilmour is subbed, Scotland score.

Yasin Ayari played for an hour as the Swedish U-21s beat Finland. (One of his teammates is Roony Bardghji so I trust Yasin has been doing the necessary).

An incomplete summary of Thursday's action (due to the late kick-off for Joao Pedro's Brazil):-

Billy Gilmour started and played just the first half as Scotland drew 2-2 in their qualifier in Georgia.

Yasin Ayari started for the Sweden U-21s and played 62 minutes as they beat Finland 3-0 in a friendly.

Casper Nilsson started for the Sweden U-20s and played the whole match as they drew 1-1 in Denmark in a friendly.

James Beadle started for the England U-20s any played the entire match as they lost 3-0 at home to Italy (in Doncaster) in the European Elite League.

Yasin Ayari played for an hour as the Swedish U-21s beat Finland. (One of his teammates is Roony Bardghji so I trust Yasin has been doing the necessary).

Asking him to not try to shag his granny?

Pedro subbed on after 25 minutes for an injured Vinicius Jr

We've got a Brazilian international!

 

[AZ Gull]

Joao Pedro came on as a 27th minute sub and played the rest of the match for Brazil as they lost their World Cup qualifier 2-1 in Colombia.

Brazil player ratings vs Colombia: Where have the goals gone?!​

Joao Pedro (5/10):

Offered legs but not much quality up front

 

[Durlston]

Luis Dìaz scored both goals as Colombia came from behind to beat Brazil 2-1 with his father watching on.

Sometimes fairytales do come true and quite emotional seeing both his goals.

 

[AZ Gull]

Kacper Kozlowski started for the Poland U-21s and played 84 minutes as they beat Israel 2-1.

Killian Cahill is not in the matchday squad for the ROI U-21s.

There could be some significant international action for Albion players on Saturday:-

Bart Verbruggen should start for the Netherlands as they face the ROI at home in a UEFA EURO 2024 qualifier.

Evan Ferguson and (maybe) Andre Moran could see some action for the ROI in the same fixture.

Pascal Gross and Germany host Turkey in a friendly in Berlin.

Facundo Buonanotte is with the Argentinian U-23s for the first of two friendlies in Japan.

Mark O'Mahony will be hoping to continue his fine goalscoring form for the ROI U-19s against Slovenia in Albania.

Jack Hinshelwood and Joshua Duffus are in the England U-19 squad for their second friendly at the Marbella Football Center in Malaga, this time against Japan.

Adam Brett and his Wales U-17 teammates will host Belgium in Cardiff in a 2024 U-17 European Championship Qualifying Round Group 12 fixture.

On Sunday there are just a couple of players who might see some playing time:-

Billy Gilmour and Scotland host Norway in their final EURO 2024 qualifier.

Casper Nilsson and the Sweden U-20s play their second and final friendly away in Denmark.

 

[AZ Gull]

He is not (quite) yet a Brighton and Hove Albion player, but 18-year-old Adrian Mazilu (who will join Albion in January) started for the Romanian U-21 side today and played 71 minutes as they beat Albania 5-0 in a European Championship qualifier.

I had almost forgotten about him. I remember seeing him score a great goal at the start of the season, but anyone know how has he been getting on this season?

Looks like Fergie up against Bart tonight in the game Ireland want to lose to have a chance of qualifying for the Euros.
Hope he is fit

Edit: and Moran on the bench, may make his debut
