Sure none of the Spain players sang their anthem on Saturday night, not even one of them.

The Spanish anthem doesn’t have words I don’t think.

Looking at the Eir sport clip on Twitter, 4 of them sang. It is embarrassing though, every player should be made learn it ffs

That's better than none I suppose but still not great.

Fantastic attendance of just under 5k, similar to the top attendances in LoI. I know it was only Luxembourg, but given the style of play, you would hope that attendances for the underage games will grow.

Great to get the win but I will reserve judgement until after the Sweden and Italy matches.

Finally, the penny is dropping. The great secret of loi coaches wanting to play possession football, these young lads being given the nod to go out and express. Kenny WILL be a fans favourite at senior level and the old argument of “will the players accept him?” because of his loi background? Yes they will because I guarantee he will only be picking what is his u21 squad now the hoofers won’t get near. New days comin.

If there’s a video of the game around anywhere I’d love the link. If I catch one, I’ll post it up here also

Last time I watched the 21s was that Azerbaijan game (which Rice played in), and this was light-years ahead of that performance.

Sums up my thoughts exactly and was going to post similar til I saw this, much better than that team was and that performance was, nearly every one of those players tonight you'd think could make it the whole way.

As good as we looked today just remember there isnt as much pressure with the underage sides. One or two dodgy results even if we were playing like brazil when hes in charge of the senior side and the knives will be out for him. Lets not forget that.

obviously this was against Luxembourg so you have to take the quality of opposition into account but saying that - this is the type of football that we just have to get all of our teams playing up to and including our senior team.
Nobody wants to watch long ball rubbish.
Professional footballers should not be playing that way anyway - they are professional footballers for a reason - I.e they have the ability to play the game to a high level in terms of skill etc.
I really hope this is the way forward for Irish football

Molumby looked very good too. Natural leader I think.
