Montserrat game starts at 8PM cant see team news anywhere yet
I have no idea who plays for them or which leagues those players play in, but I doubt many will be in a higher league position than our Lyle. The Championship must be one of the best & most competitive "2nd tiers" in the world. And we are 2nd.
Lyle is now miles above the level of the other players in that game, I don't know how he approaches Montserrat matches
Probably it's a nice break with guaranteed sunshine, a good craic with a good bunch of lads mostly based in the UK .... and he gets to see his Grandma.
It is a shame that the Caribbean Islands do not try and pool their resources in the way the West Indies Cricket team do. That would be a competitive team.

I suspect Fifa wouldn't allow that
Montserrat is a minnow even within the Caribbean. As Henry says above, the players (who are mainly British) enjoy the social and cultural aspects of playing for Montserrat
Kayal and Hemed on the bench for Israel as well. Only just spotted but Kayal got 30mins in their match a few days ago. Hopefully he can get some more minutes to come back and be in contention

Majority of that squad play in England but of those, only Lyle for a League club.
highlights include Welling, Bromley & Hythe
No goals for Lyle tho
Have a word with yourself, Lyle.
In 2002 they were the worst ranked side in the world.
In 2004 they lost 13-0 to the mighty Bermuda!
In 2008 they lost 7-1 to Surinam.
And according to wiki in 2012, they played a friendly at the Valley against a Network Rail XI...........and drew 4-4. Seb was probably there.
Who wants to mark Lyle Taylor?
He spoke a lot about it in depth at Bromley Addicks on the family links and the importance of the team to rebuilding the country.

See Lyle Taylor is skipper.

The Wikipedia page for Montserrat includes Lyle Taylor as one of its notable people!

He loves to play for them.
Apart from England they've long been my favourite home nation... But Wales have Jonny playing!!
