Makes the Tartan Army's day that much sweeter!!

A slight injury worry for Celts in the shape of Liam Millers withdrawal from the Ireland squad to play Canada at Lansdowne Road in Dublin on Tuesday night although latest reports suggest it's precautionary more than anything else. Disappointing surely for Miller who was set to make his international debut after some starring cameo's for Celtic.
Too bad for Miller as I am quite sure he would have had field day with the Canadain midfield. Must be tough to miss out on a fixture as a young boy he probably dreamed about playing in.

All Hail The King!
ERIKSSON DELIGHT AT KING PERFORMANCE
Wednesday 18th February 2004
Sven Goran Eriksson was full of praise for goalscorer Ledley King after England's 1-1 draw with Portugal - admitting he thinks the Tottenham man proved he is ready for the big time.
Eriksson believes that the international friendly in Faro was a valuable work out, and made it clear that some players had done their Euro 2004 squad hopes no harm with their performances.
”We haven't played a national team game for three months and it is good to come together,” said Eriksson.
”I learned that Ledley King is ready - I think he gave an excellent performance.
”I had no idea he was going to score of course but I think defensively as well, he put in a very, very good performance considering it was away to Portugal.
”Alan Smith came on and was very good - which is a boost for us and for him.
”It was a good friendly game.”
Who needs Rio and ArSol?

England 3-2 Argentina
Maybe one of the best 'friendlies' ever. This was more like a World Cup quarterfinal match! Both teams going for it and throwing everything into it. 2 goals called back (one from both teams) early on and some great saves by Robinson to keep England in it in the first half. Rooney hit's the post before the end of the half. Argentina scores off a nicely worked freekick (similar to the one they scored against England in France '98) to make it 2-1 and it looks like we're in trouble with 5 minutes remaining. Eriksson throws on Crouch (doesn't do much but the threat causes havoc) and changes the formation and Argentina struggles to deal with it as Owen scores 2 goals in the 86th and 91st minute to win on two fantastic crosses from Gerrard and Cole. Owen also scored the goal that was called back! Rooney got the other.
Best $20 spent on a game.

Ottawa, Ontario – Canada’s Men’s National Team defeated European-side Luxembourg 1-0 today thanks to a clinical finish from Leicester City striker Iain Hume in minute-69.
Canada fielded a relatively young line-up for the Luxembourg encounter with three of the roster of 16 only 18 years of age – Asmir Begovic, Jaime Peters, and Will Johnson.
The Canadians dominated much of the game and never really looked threatened by a Luxembourg attack that lacked both pace and guile. Despite dominating the encounter, Canada could not break down an organized Luxembourg defense. But when Hume broke away along the left side of the area and coolly chipped his shot into the far corner, it was evident that Canada had done enough to grab the win.
For the most part, the opening half was an uneventful one with both Luxembourg and Canada finding it difficult to exploit the other’s defense. However, Canada looked the far more inventive side and for the most part dictated the pace of the half. The Canucks looked incredibly comfortable on the ball for extended periods of time but could not translate that possession into clear-cut chances.
But as the half progressed, Canada seemed to inch closer to grabbing the opener.
Following a foul in minute-39 on debutant Stephen Ademolu near the left corner of the Luxembourg penalty area, Hume whipped in his free kick toward Canadian captain Kevin McKenna, positioned at the right corner of the six-yard box. The Luxembourg defense dealt with the set piece but the half-chance seemed to encourage the young Canadians.
Five minutes later the Canadians came close again.
Atiba Hutchinson stepped in front of a Luxembourg midfielder to intercept a pass, then slithered between two defenders and slipped a ball for Dwayne de Rosario in the left channel. De Rosario swung his cross toward the front post but again Luxembourg’s defense reacted first, stepping in front of Ademolu’s run.
Canada produced a few more opportunities in the early moments of the second half but again the final ball from Canada failed to pry open any gilt-edged chances.
But with two-thirds of the match over, the Canadians finally sliced open Luxembourg on the counter for a deserved opener.
De Rosario collected a ball in the middle of the field and advanced, at pace, toward the Luxembourg defense. The San Jose-based midfielder found Hume on the left and the diminutive striker sped into the left side of the Luxembourg penalty area. Hume out-waited the advancing Luxembourg keeper and just as the net-minder committed, Hume clipped his shot over him and into the side netting.
Canada saw off the remaining twenty minutes and when the whistle blew for full-time, the Canucks had done just enough to earn the victory.
Next up for Canada…
Canada’s Men’s National Team has agreed to an international friendly on March 1st, 2006 (the next available International Match Date on the FIFA coordinated International Calendar) against Austria. The match will be played at the Ernst Happel Stadium in Vienna, Austria. Kick-off has tentatively been scheduled for 8:30pm local time.

I was amazed to see highlights on Global News last night of the Germany v. USA friendly.
Kahn with a great save off a header (much like mine v. Rino's a few weeks ago. FCBycta should've seen it. ) 4:1 final for Germany. Pretty good warm up and result I'd say. Kit looked pretty sharp too.

Regs said:4-1? How did the Yanks look? That's quite the thrashing for the 5th-ranked country in the world...
7 regulars were not realeased by their club teams.......having said that, it's still quite a thrashing for the 5th ranked country........
Embarrassingly enough, no. In fact, I had no idea they were even playing yesterday, let alone a few weeks ago. I hate to admit that I had to rely on Squire Barnes for my Deutches Fussball news.zenga said:Funny to see the Germans sing when they are winning.
I remember a 4-1 battering of Germany by the mighty Italians few weeks ago. It was pretty quiet then.
Remember that Keeper?
So why didn't you bring it up? Not that much to write home about when you beat number 22, eh?
No need to say anything when Italy beats teams they should beat.
I even heard when Italy won they took a big team picture after the game, and they were celebrating very enthusiastically after they scored the fourth goal, in a 4-1 win.
