WINS ALL ROUND FOR INTERNATIONAL BLUES

Posted on: Wed 11 Aug 2010


Salomon Kalou's Ivory Coast beat Italy 1-0 at Upton Park on Tuesday night
thanks to a Kolo Toure header in the 55th minute.


The Elephants were without Didier Drogba, as he continued his recovery
from hernia surgery but Kalou completed 85 minutes in West Ham's home
before making way for Emerse Fae.


The eventual winners came close to scoring in the first half when Kalou's
through ball found Gervinho, only for the subsequent shot to curl wide.


The Ivory Coast took the lead when a Demel Cross from the right flank was
headed in by the Manchester City defender.


Elsewhere, England's Under 21 team boasted three Chelsea representatives
as Michael Mancienne and Daniel Sturridge began a 2-0 win over Uzbekistan.


Jack Cork replaced Jordan Henderson at the beginning of the second half,
which saw Sturridge have a hand in the opener when his shot was parried to
Danny Rose. He in turn hit home from 15 yards out.


Substitute Martin Kelly sealed the win, heading in his nation's second
with 76 minutes gone. Mancienne had a late chance for England's third but
the score remained 2-0.


Conor Clifford played a full 90 minutes for Ireland as they romped home to
a 5-0 win over Estonia.


Anthony Stokes netted a brace in the first-half, with the second coming
from the penalty spot, as the Republic of Ireland won comfortably in the
European Under 21 Championship qualifier. Second-half strikes from James
McCarthy, Seamus Coleman and Owen Garvan sealed the win as Estonia failed
to return.

DUTCH DEBUT FOR BRUMA

Posted on: Thu 12 Aug 2010


Chelsea have a new full international after 18-year-old Jeffrey Bruma made
his debut for Holland against Ukraine on Wednesday night.


The young defender had been called into the Dutch squad by coach Bert van
Marwijk, who had opted not to name any of his World Cup group that came
runners-up in the World Cup, and the Chelsea man was picked from the start
in Kiev.


Although he was beaten by Andriy Shevchenko, who shot just wide, Bruma
turned in an impressive performance, and will have whet his appetite for
international football in this game, which ended 1-1.


John Terry, Ashley Cole and Frank Lampard all started for England at
Wembley as Fabio Capello unveiled his plan for the future against Hungary,
but as he had said before the game, substituted all three at half-time
with the scores goalless.


England went on to win 2-1 thanks to two superb goals from captain Steven
Gerrard, after a mistake from Michael Dawson had gifted Hungarian sub
Vladimir Koman the opener. Former Chelsea defender Glen Johnson played the
full 90 minutes at right-back for England.


Yury Zhirkov played the first half for Russia as they entertained Bulgaria
in St Petersburg, winning 1-0 despite being under pressure for much of the
game. Their goal game from Roman Shirokov inside the first 10 minutes.


Branislav Ivanovic was back at right-back after featuring in the centre of
Chelsea's defence, as Serbia were beaten 1-0 at home by Greece. The goal
came from a close-range Dimitris Salpingidis header after he had escaped
the attentions of Man United's Nemanja Vidic.


At Under 21 level Patrick van Aanholt helped the Dutch become the first
side to reach the European Championship play-offs, thanks to a 3-0
qualifying win in Liechtenstein. The left-back played the full 90 minutes.



Nemanja Matic played the full 90 minutes for Serbia, but like their senior
side they were defeated, 2-1 away in Slovakia. The Chelsea man was booked
after 18 minutes.


Finally, Philipp Prosenik played the first half for Austria Under 19s in
their 1-1 draw against Russia. Lively throughout his run-out, the striker,
who spent much of last season sidelined through injury, had a couple of
chances and worked the Russian goalie into a smart save shortly before
half-time.
