Chelsea Internationals: 2012-13

A thread for the new season of pointless friendlies and not-so-pointless World Cup Qualifiers. Feel free to post anything and everything about how our guys fare on their international breaks, including youth players.

I'll start off by saying that Lampard has been given the armband for England this week, which is always nice.

Just saw that Lamps is on 91 England caps. He'd be on 94-95 if he had gone to Euros, so I'm hoping that injury doesn't prevent him from reaching the century mark, as he deserves it.

Also, Ash is 98, while Gerrard is on 96. Really hope Ash gets his next 2 in before Gerrard gets 4, as that would negate any chance of Cole getting the armband.

Unbelievably, JT is only at 77.

Luiz seemed to be in some pain when he went off against Sweden. Haven't heard if he's alright to play against Wigan.

I saw that too, but he looked alright afterwards. It was probably just a knock, as Robbie would've mentioned it today if it were something serious.

Belgium won 0-2 in Cardiff against Wales..

Kompany's header on a corner for the 0-1

Verthongen scored a free kick,very hard kick straight on goal 0-2

Before that there was a red card for Collins...

Hazard was at the background but that was normal in this game,did not had to give 100 procent.

Lukaku who said he not wanna start this game,came in after the break and was not fit enough and forgot to keep it simpel.

De Bruyne got a minute of 30 I think ,and I was impressed...I'm not a De Bruyne fan but I think this gonna change.

Courtois was belgium's nr1 ,Mignolet on the bench.Courtois had a great save on a very difficult shot from Bale,otherwise it was 1-1.

For me match of the man was Mertens,but it was more a collective result,the disipline they needed to win this game was there..

I hope next Tuesday against Croatia,our Hazard will not get injured... :sad:

Watched Belgium-croatia yesterday. Courtois in goal, Hazard playing full game, De Bruyne coming from the bench. Ended 1-1.

Hazard was a bit of a disappointment but he was very much guarded the whole game. He had the coat-treatment.

Courtois was very mature although not that much pressure on him. One nice 1 vs. 1 that he very nicely handled.

De Bruyne was dangerous coming on. Nice crosses and he has pace. I like him. Glad he is a Chelsea player. Can't wait to see him play for us in the future.

Hazard was good. He didn't try a lot on his own, as Mertens for example, but his passes were great and created a few chances. Agreed on KDB, he was great, almost gave the match winning pass, just that guy whose name I cannot remember, didn't finish it off well.

It was Mirallas that missed the golden chance...

Also Benteke missed a lot,big difference was that periic scored that kind of chance in the 6th minute and Benteke did not with the same kind of chance... :blush2:

But our superb Belgian commentator,told he had a very good game as a striker,how can that be true if you got 6 good chances and don't score...pfff

Hazard started average,but was a maestro in the second half..a nice combination between De Bruyne and Hazard...

Courtois did an fantastic job and hold us on 1-1....
