weekevie04 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) We are hosting the U19s Euros next week, beginning on Tuesday when Scotland play France in Paisley (the tournament is being held in Paisley, Glasgow, Perth and Stirling). We seem to have (going by name) got a tough draw : Holland, Norway and France in our group. There are 8 teams in this tournament and 5 teams will qualify for next year's World Cup. So even if we don't make the final or get out of the group, there is a very nice prize of going to the World Cup. Will you be going? And can the good run within the ladies continue and get us either out of the group or that WC spot. Also, the Mens u19s start tomorrow and will be held in Armenia, and not just even Armenia but Yerevan alone will host every game albeit in different stadiums. Ireland have qualified for this (along with hosting the u17s earlier this spring) which got me wondering, have the SFA ever put in a bid for a tournament like this (of course taking away the one that starts on Tuesday 😀), and why not? We could even host a u21 Euros considering the cities/stadiums that are available. Edited July 13, 2019 by weekevie04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkieRobRoy Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Will try to get to some of these, either the Scotland ones, or to boo England. You're right, it seems a tough draw, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Went to the game last night. In typical Scotland fashion fought back into the game then when they looked favourites to win threw it away in injury time Good crowd though and Jamie Lee Napier looks a superstar in the making Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The captain looked pretty good too. Definitely looked to be at least a couple who could step up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weekevie04 Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 Good on going through, Toepoke. Looked a fairly decent crowd! How very typically Scottish - thought the last 20-30 mins looked only one team would win it. Agree about Napier, she looks some prospect although maybe a tad ballgreedy (maybe that's a bit OTT but once or twice there was a open player she shouldn't set through) McGovern was it looked quite good too? Keeper apart from that difficult cross/goal had a decent game. Very harsh to lose that, but France are favourites so no shame. Hopefully win tonight though and even if we don't get through the group, we'll get that playoff vs 3rd in the other group for the final World Cup spot. I'm sure they are well aware of at least aiming for third and that playoff. Fingers crossed for a decent crowd tonight at Firhill.

Yes, just seen the HT score. Seems the Norwegian have even taken their foot off the gas as well. Oh well! Nae World Cup for us then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
