FC Bayern Forum

Republic of Ireland have won their first match 4-1 and this will be an interesting battle for first place in the standings.

Which is Germany's squad for this match?

This match takes place in Sligo, about 2 hours' drive from where I live. I was tempted to go to see it - and thus see players who will play one day in the future German senior team - but the idea didn't work out.

Does anyone know whether videos - even the highlights - of U21 games ever become available on the internet?

You might get to watch the whole thing.

I don't think there are any Bayern players called up, are there?

No Bayern players. The closest thing we had to a u21 player was Emre Can and he didn't get called up for these two matches.

Bayern doesnt have a lot of promising German players in their youth ranks at the moment. Julian Green is probably Bayern's only real promising German talent.....

And he may play for the USA

Thanks for these links. I actually found a good, steady stream – Eurosport Romania – and watched the game from the 25th minute onwards. By that time, Germany were 3-0 up. I saw these three goals in replays at half time and, of course, saw the late fourth goal too – some very good goals indeed. Germany were far superior, and the win was well deserved. Of the players, I was particularly impressed with Volland, Goretzka, Leitner and ter Stegen, but the whole team played cohesively and with good intelligence and a high tempo. They could do well at the finals.
