Switched over to watch second half of France v Georgia. Georgia were 2-1 up going into last minute when France equalised then won it 12 minutes into injury time.

Yeah as much as I am an addict and will watch the games I hope this crashes and burns. It is really is a needless tournament in an already crowded schedule. Cannot see how players who played at Euros and Copa America last season will not be knackered after playing in this. Fact that this also being played while Gold Cup is on as means devalues that competition as well.

They have been. Think I might switch to one of other games at half time. Italy are 1-0 up on Slovakia and France 1-0 up on Georgia.

Chelsea seem to have signed a belter of a player in Giovani Quenda. 2 goals and 1 assist in first 30 minutes for Portugal U21s against Poland. Games on 4seven (138 on Sky) in case anyone is bored.

Forgot to post that CD Mirandes won second semi final 4-1 against Racing Santander winning tie 7-4 on aggregate. 1st leg of final is Sunday at 6pm live on Premier Sport 2. Mirandes play in a tiny stadium with capacity of 5,700 which will make them smallest team to have played in top flight if they win through I think.

You work for the SFA don’t you.

Format of Scottish Cup confirmed. Our Defence starts on 17th January.

Rumours online that James McGarry is in off back to the Aleague with Brisbane Roar.

Fixtures out for 2025/26 https://scottishfootballfixtures.wordpress.com/temp-25-26/highland-league-25-26/

Aye liked the look of Markhiev and Vaananen.

Finland 2-0 up with Keskinen getting 2nd. Finnish had hardly touched ball in first 25 minutes. Now 2-0 up after 30 minutes and fans singing Topi’s name.

Keskinen starts for Finland U21s against Dutch. Big Finnish support. Beer costing a 7th of what it does in Finland might be the reason.

Decent game between Denmark v Ukraine in the U21 tournament. 2-2 with 10 minutes left.

Finland’s first game is on channel 4 YouTube channel tonight at 8pm.

Another winger seems odd although does look like he has played at 10 as well.

Finished 1-1 so Ovideo through to play winner of tomorrow nights game.

First of the promotion play semi final 2nd leg games on premier sports 1 just now. Currently Ovideo 0-1 Almeria and 2-2 on aggregate.

I am not sure as he is going to be at U21 championship which starts this week. I think he is going to be knackered this season as being playing almost constantly for 18 months.

One of the benefits of Cup win is that we now have more time to get players in before European games start so fact we need to wait for teams further up the chain to decide on their squads is mitigated a bit.

We would have lost that by 5 or 6. Wales played really well in second half. We would not have attacked like but have just played for damage limitation.

Finished 4-3. Great game.

4-3 this time. Great finish by De Bruyne.

3-3. As bad as they were in first half Wales have been brilliant in second half.

Another good move and goal.
