From The Halfway Line

A new blog, featuring Shakhtar's Manor Solomon, his impending move to #FFC and how the young forward might be leading the way for a talented crop of Israeli youngsters fromthehalfwayline.com/2022/04/14/man…

Incidentally, he also went viral for taking a free kick that he struck so sweetly it flew out of a stadium twitter.com/BenBuford11/st…

Apologies that it's been so long, how about a player profile on Emil Holm, a 6"3' Swedish full-back with 2 goals and 4 assists in five U21 international appearances? fromthehalfwayline.com/2021/11/14/emi…

Group C up next, and Spain like Germany in Group B shouldn't have much trouble topping the group. It should be a shootout between Russia and Slovakia for 2nd, with N. Ireland, Malta and Lithuania battling it out for fourth.

Group B is one of the least balanced in #U21Euros qualifying. Germany are unbeaten and should easily top the group, however surprise package Israel's win away to Poland could go a long way to decide who enters the play-offs.

The first round of #U21Euros qualifiers took place last week, so here's a thread of how every nation got on, a few players to watch and some interesting transfers from within the squads. All the data comes from here docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

We wrote about Bolla ahead of the U21 Euros, a very capable full back and an impressive bit of scouting from #Wolves fromthehalfwayline.com/2021/03/13/ben…

@JoeDonnohue @ScoutedFtbl @AFHStewart Cheers Joe!

@FTHalfwayLine @ScoutedFtbl @AFHStewart This is great, thanks a lot. Such a comprehensive resource.

We've taken a break after the U21 Euros ended in June with Germany running out as deserved champions. But the race to reach Bucharest and Tbilisi in 2023 has already begun for plenty of teams, here's a short breakdown of what's happened so far:

Sure you've already got more comprehensive stats available elsewhere, but the doc above might be of interest to you and potentially your followers @ScoutedFtbl @JoeDonnohue @AFHStewart

If anyone is already interested in this qualifying campaign we'll be doing our best to keep track in our dedicated Google doc. Updates will come as quickly as possible, and if you have any suggestions, improvements, corrections or more, please let us know docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

And here we see the consequences of holding the U21 Euros in the split format. Key U21 players such as Koopmeiners now potentially involved in the senior set up. The knockout stages are going to be even harder to predict than before

It’s not a surprise that Dani de Wit has scored in the Netherlands’ final #U21EURO group game. Read more about him here fromthehalfwayline.com/2021/03/16/dan…
