Goianegra 4,647 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 That's some accomplishment for a 16 year old to be honest. Well done to the lad! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco Negri's Beard 1,423 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Glad Islam Feruz has been fast tracked. The boy has all the talent to make it and this level and beyond. Very strong U21 team, finally were producing talented Scottish players. To be fair, we've been fairly consistantly decent at youth levels, they just never seem to make the step up. What were we in a few years back, got to the final against Spain? U19 Euro Championships or something like that?Agreed though, that's a pretty decent squad. For the sake of the national team, hopefully this group can grow together. Best of luck to Feruz, looks like he could be a special talent Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
