Vlachodimos completed a shut-out (as Matt Turner's mom and pop might say) against Eire last night with former ok looking pile-driving Ex Forest midfieldman Bouchalakis coming on as a late sub; Neco Williams helped da Welsh to a gentle 4-0 hammering of the Gibraltarians on Wednesday with your man Wazza Hennessy benched for the night; Oriel "Mickey" Mangala started for Belgium as they celebrated Hazard's retirement by easing to a 3-2 qualification win against Austria; Chris Wood scored a last minute equalising pen in the Kiwis 1-1 draw against Assombalonga's Congo DR; Scott Macca Mckenna had a go against the Spanish for the mighty jocks and in a few hours Sangare and Aurier will line up against the Moroccans (don't get injured you guys!) and Matt Turner will test his own shut out skills against the Germans (no whoopsies please Matt, and yes that's three international goalies we have doing their stuff and I didn't even check on Horvath).
Inter alia.
The days when all we had to worry about was when Lyle Taylor would be back from Montserrat seem a long time ago (for those with interest clubless Taylor played and was red-carded in the Volcano Boys 3 nil defeat to Nicaragua yesterday, head coach and all round Nice guy Lee Bowyer was not a happy bun-bun, probably).
