Marco Tilio played the entire second half for Rapid Wien in their 1-0 club friendly win over Ferencvaros, getting a yellow card in the 89th minute. No game time for Daniel Arzani, who was not in the matchday squad altogether for Ferencvaros.
 
Here I was realising I could pop over to Wolfsburg tomorrow evening to watch Irvine but he's out until further notice. It's his left foot again. Reports Metcalfe may start due to other players having an injury. Realised it was the 18:30 game which is doable compared to the 20:30 which is a pain.

According to Sofascore, subbed on at 80', scored st 81'.
Still one month shy of his 17th birthday. Huge achievement and clearly a special talent.

Already tied to Italy (played for them at the recent U20 World Cup), so will need to change sporting nationality if ever he decides he would like to play for Australia, if invited to.

At this very young age and his circumstances it would've been a bit tricky for Australia to get him for the U17. I'll admit that. In saying that his circumstances have played very much into Italy's hands.

Getting him to switch at this rate is near impossible.

The difficulty with kids is it happens really fast. Unless we are going to pick them based purely on talent (Overy style) when they aren't playing I can't see a way around it. This is worse for us when they come through at big Euro clubs because then they are on the radar for even the big nations.

Firstly, I can't see him in the U20. He was in the U17 squad. Also, is playing at an A youth tournament going to lock you in? I simply don't know but I wouldn't think the rules would be that strict. Clarification from numerous forumites appreciated.
