The lack of Lansbury sickens me

out for 2 months due to injury ^

I know, but he's close to a return. I love how he plays.

Been hearing that Bunjaku was beyond fantastic today for the U-18s

Bunjaku is a very bright young talent, but I'm not sure if he'll play for England or Albania at this point.

Speaking of youth, Carl Jenkinson is apparently open to playing for England should they want him, but is also happy playing for Finland.

Another one who could break into England's U21 set-up is Kyle Bartley, though I'm not sure what his injury situation is like at the moment.

I really hope Bunjaku chooses Albania, since we don't have that much talent - don't have a bright future. But I think he'll choose England just like, Shaqiri, Xhaka etc., choosed Switzerland.

He won't play for England...he will slip away just like Frimpong, scouts should be trying to convince him to play for England now before it's too late

Chamberlain had a quiet game against Belgium. He was in the back pocket of their left back all game; seldom beat him one-on-one and wasn't involved much in any build-up England managed.

Oxlade-Chamberlain had a night to forget tonight as England u21's lost to Belgium u21s.

He was up against what looks to be a talented left-back Jimmy De Jonghe (19-Year old from Club Brugge). Though according to uefa, this guy is really a midfielder.

AOC was inches from scoring though in the first half, whilst his cross late in the second half set up Henderson who really should have scored with his volley. So he could have come away from the game with both an assist and a goal, but that's football.

Arsenal fullback Carl Jenkinson still hasn't made a decision over his international future.

Jenkinson has settled in well at Emirates Stadium since his summer move from Charlton and looks a big prospect for the future. Whether that future lies with England or Finland remains to be seen.

"Everyone knows I've got a choice to make on that front," Jenkinson told Arsenal Player. "But at the moment I'm just concentrating on my club football, that's my main aim.

"I honestly could not tell you what my decision will be [between England and Finland] because it's something I'm going to have to think about in depth. But I'm not in that position yet so I'm just concentrating on Arsenal and doing the best I can here."

Park didn't play for South Korea today, he was suspended by all accounts. They lost to Lebanon 2-1.

Walcott starts again for England tonight, against Sweden.

Germany lineup: Neuer - Boateng, Mertesacker, Badstuber, Aogo - Khedira, Kroos - Müller, Özil, Podolski - Klose

Walcott, Mertesacker, Rosicky, Vermaelen, Fabianski all starting for their countries.

Mertesacker owned in the Germany-Holland friendly. Had 2 moments of weirdness but then was a wall.

so verminator played at left back.against whom he was up?
and full 90 mins for rosa needs rest then
and no injuries? touch wood

Mertesacker got a 4 rating by goal.com against Holland.

I watched the whole game and he made some bad errors in the first half but recovered well in the second half - similar to his game at Chelsea. Therefore, a rating of 4 is way too low.

I am assuming you already know the justification for the rating.

I don't think they watch the whole game sometimes....
