INTERNATIONAL REDS ROUND-UP
By Paul Eaton

Milan Baros and John Arne Riise were both on the scoresheet last night
as their countries secured impressive victories in their final games of
the season.

Baros, who was reportedly being watched by Lyon, netted the Czech
Republic's sixth goal after 88 minutes in their comprehensive 6-1 World
Cup qualifying defeat of Macedonia.

The Czechs, for whom Vladimir Smicer appeared as a 61st minute
substitute, are now well placed in second in their group, just one point
behind leaders Holland with four games left to play.

Riise fulfilled a lifetime ambition when he captained Norway in their
3-2 friendly international in Sweden and he marked the occasion by
opening the scoring.

Meanwhile, Sami Hyypia played the full 90 minutes of Finland's 4-0
defeat to Holland in Helsinki and Xabi Alonso was given a 63rd minute
run-out as Spain were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw against
Bosnia-Herzegovina in Valencia.

Liverpool youngster John Welsh was an unused substitute for England
under-20s as fellow Red Carl Medjani helped France to a place in the
final of the Toulon Tournament.

Despite figuring in all three of England's previous games Welsh played
no part as Peter Taylor's side crashed out of the competition on penalties.

Medjani, who spent the whole of 2004/05 on loan at Lorient, has
captained his country throughout the tournament and he'll now be hoping
they can defeat Portugal in the final.
