VillaChris Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 There was a good piece in the Times yesterday. Apparently on the opening day of 1997 prem season Norway had 27 players starting in the premier league. Now they have 1 player starting Hangeland and he's retired. Looking at their current squad they have some o.k defenders like Havard Nordveit but not a long of excitment going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet Sweden and Denmark won't be far behind, both down to 2 players in the prem Not sure what's happened to scandanavian football but it's gone to shit, when zlatan retires in 2 years there'll be eriksen as the only real quality player out of all the scandanavian countries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Yeah I did a thread on this a few weeks back, it's just a poor generation for Scandanavian football atm compared to the golden age of the 90s when they were all producing so much quality and doing great stuff at major tournaments. Probably the best of them in shape at the moment is Iceland. Can't remember what sort of group they're in but wouldn't shock me if they make euro 2016.

TrentVilla Posted September 3, 2014 Moderator Share Posted September 3, 2014 And not one $%^& was given. I've long given up on England, won't be watching and by the look of this thread few others will be. My only interest in these international games is how many Liverpool players get injured. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coda Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Is Delph likely to start or HT or 86th minute, anyone know? There's no way I'm watching this whole game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Delph won't start. Might be a sub though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eames Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I'm the same as Trent. I don't care about this at all. Its ridiculous to have international friendlies 3 weeks into a domestic season so soon after an international tournament. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 It think everyone in the world, both dead and living.. plus all those who have yet to be born, **** hate these friendlies.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Norway's team look terrible. I recognize Nordtveit from Football manager, and Daehlie from cardiff. Otherwise i can't say i recognize very many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandaq Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I promise England will win easy. There is a shift going on right now but there is still a lot of bad players that remain. It's also naive to think that every promising talent here will break through to the big stage so I am not overly optimistic about the future either. Probably gonna tune in as I wanna see delph get his debut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I don't care about England. Last time I cared was probably Vs Germany in South Africa, and even then it was forced. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ismail-villa Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Yawwnnn. If Delph comes on, I'll watch it then, but only for Delph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pembers Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Only gonna watch to see if Delph plays. In fact I'm really only interested in England games when Villa players are involved. So it's been a while since I last watched one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) Norway's team look terrible. I recognize Nordtveit from Football manager, and Daehlie from cardiff. Otherwise i can't say i recognize very many. Vegard Forren was at Southampton also but didn't play a game!! We was linked with Nordveit two seasons ago!!

CardiffGreens Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 4-4-fecking-2?! It's like the last 4 years of footballing development never happened. Hart Stones / Jones / Cahill / Baines Sterling / Wilshere / Mrs Henderson Presents.. / Chamberlain Sturridge / Rooney. Though BBC show it as a 4-3-3 with Rooney most definitely not deserting his wide play in order to play the all-action-hero tonight. We'll see, shall sit and suffer through this - though whoever decided to charge £30 a ticket needs seeing to. Also, Monday night internationals to follow this? Plantini can go choke on his Camembert.
