International Futsal Friendlies
Tripoli Grand Hall Arena, Libya

The England Futsal team put in two superb performances against the African Futsal champions, Libya, in Tripoli.

England fought courageously and showed real character to dominate two friendly internationals against one of the leading Futsal nations in their own country.

Drawing the first game and winning the second, England exhibited two of their best –ever displays with the squad really delivering high-level performances when it really mattered.

Libya have a fine recent pedigree and are ranked 26th in the world, 70 places above England. As well as reigning African Futsal champions, Libya won the Arab Futsal Championships, with their star player Mohammed Omar selected to play against Brazil in a World All-Stars Team.

England travelled to Tripoli with the odds stacked against them. Libya defeated England last year in the only other previous meeting, while England had only recently won for the first time in their history away from home.

England began the first game cautiously, but confidence grew quickly and the England team settled into the game better than their illustrious opponents. England dictated the early rhythms of the match, with half-chances falling to Thomas Obasi and Luke Ballinger to establish an early lead.

But it was the home side who scored first, against the run of play. A speculative long-distance shot ricocheted into the path of a Libyan player to slot past Curtis Holmes in the England goal.

Libya began to exert more influence over the game after taking the lead, showing some of the hallmarks of a true Futsal force. England weathered the storm and regained their composure and dominated for a five minute spell before half-time.

Wave after wave of English attacks crashed against the Libyan goal, with the agile Libyan goalkeeper having an extraordinary game repelling every English effort. Colley, Obasi and Vallance all having good chances to level the score before half-time.

It took a thunderbolt from England’s captain, Luke Ballinger, to beat the Libyan keeper. Obasi’s effort rebounding back to Ballinger, who instantly crashed it into the top corner to stun the Libyan crowd. England continued to press, with Head Coach Pete Sturgess making effective changes to offer different attacking options.

However, the Libyan goalkeeper would not be beaten again, and at the end a sharp save from Holmes kept the scores level.

Although disappointed not to win, the England team were upbeat with the quality of their performance.

England started the second game with greater belief of securing a much desired victory, but were soon on the back-foot after a mistake by Dean Thornton, playing in goal for the second match, allowed Libya a simple goal inside two minutes.

England were rattled, and for a significant spell clung on desperately to prevent conceding a second. Libya sensed their opportunity and pushed and probed, but the steadying influence of Nick Colley helped England restore some shape and order to their play.

The creativity of Rob Ursell and Thomas Obasi began to come to the fore just before half-time, with a couple of half-chances giving the Lions some confidence going into the second half.

The England captain again led by example to restore the team to parity at the start of the second period. Ballinger capitalized on a Libyan mistake to go through on goal, with a smart finish to beat Libya’s talented goalkeeper.

Halfway through the second period Ben Mortlock( Ex-London United Player ) sent the England squad into raptures after he finished a slick passing move.

Joy almost turned to despair as while England celebrated their lead, the Libyans took advantage to shoot at goal from the kick-off. Thornton was alive to the situation and tipped the ball over the bar. This signaled the start of a tense last period to the game, with both teams having a number of chances.

Thornton, Mortlock( Ex-London United player ) and Colley all stretched to prevent Libya equalizing as Mohammed Omar began to exert his influence on the game.

England were also on five accumulated fouls for the final period, and with a minute to go the referee awarded a penalty to the home side as a result of a sixth foul. Mohammed Omar stepped up but hit the post to the disappointment of the home fans.

England withstood the pressure to see out the game and claim an important victory for English Futsal to the delight of the squad and coaching staff.

Under the guidance of Sturgess, the England squad has been in a period of intense development, and this win helps to show that the squad and Futsal in England is moving in the right direction.

There is still much development required, and expectation should be tempered with the realization that this is one step on a long path.

But England Futsal will enjoy this win and the high quality of the performances in these two matches will provide much-needed confidence for the future.

VIDEO ENGLAND FUTSAL NATIONAL TEAM - FRIENDLY GAME.

http://www.thefa.com/England/EnglandFutsalTeam/NewsAndFeatures/2009/israel_101009.aspx

FUTSAL --- ENGLAND GAME AGAINST ISRAEL

Futsal Head Coach Peter Sturgess remains positive after game with Israel.

England 1-3 Israel
International Futsal Friendly
thePoint4, Hereford
Friday 9 October

England Futsal Head Coach Peter Sturgess was in positive mood on Friday evening, despite seeing his team turned over by Israel at the Point 4 venue in Hereford.

The Three Lions squad have been together all week in training ahead of their two games with Israel and Sturgess believes he has seen enough from his players both in training and in the game that there could be a bright future for English Futsal.

If anything, Sturgess' team maybe peaked too early on Friday when captain Luke Ballinger slotted them ahead in the sixth minute after a fine move through midfield, but an equally stunning equaliser from Lior Cohen two minutes later brought things level.

Israel then took the lead with two more quickfire goals in the 16th and 19th minutes from Adam Cohen and Marko Hazan to go in at the break with a commanding lead.

The second half saw no goals, but both teams came close and there was some exciting Futsal on show for the lively crowd in attendance.

"We started really well and took the lead, but what we're not used to doing at international level is taking the lead and holding onto it for long periods," explained Sturgess after the game.

"For us to take the lead and cause them some problems was a great positive for us, but what we didn't do was hold that lead for long enough.

"When you get in front in international football, you have to keep that lead."

The two teams will meet again on Saturday for a second game and Sturgess will be looking to find out more about his team in that meeting, but he has been pleased with his players so far.

"The lads have actually taken quite a bit of confidence from the game, so we hope to build on that," he added.

"I've been happy with the whole week and the commitment of the England Futsal team is never in question, it's just how quickly we can get to grips with this great game of Futsal.

"We have another training camp in November and then we travel to Libya to play them and they're the African champions so that will be a real test."
