U20 World Cup Semi Final England v Italy

[whitelion]

Superb result and performance - hope some of these guys soon feature for the senior team.

Well what a watch, I thought England were fantastic, I cannot recall hardly one aimless punt, some great skills too.

 

[Silverhatch]

We're actually really good. Fast counter attacking football.

Absolutely this. Really good technically too. First World Cup Final for 51 years.

 

[Uter]

Awesome result. Gutted to be at work and unable to watch it. Over the past few years I have gained a lot more enjoyment watching England youth teams than watching the seniors. I think it's because their style of play is so different to that of the full international side.

 

[Triggaaar]

Good stuff.

How much will Chelsea be willing to pay for Solanke in two years time?

 

[Pavilionaire]

Great stuff!

Can he play left back?

Blimey, I'd play this lot rather than the senior squad. What an exciting team.

That is very much a second-string England squad for 'this' age group, as well. The more established players at that age are all missing as in the U21 squad for the European Championships that start next week.

And a THIRD strength U20 squad play a semi final tomorrow, of the Toulon Tournoi competition.

Look a good bunch the U20s
Technically gifts. 2 solid quick players at CB who can pass a bit as well. Full backs quick skilful going forward and very good defensively. Especially the RB from Everton. Ball retention and movement in midfield is very good. Look
An we knew was quality anyway but all the midfield looked good on the ball and Ojo from Liverpool added something different and beat his full back as will. Solanke looks a handful.

Sounds as thought the score flattered Italy judging by the report. Some positive England team news, surprised it isn't higher up the page on NSC.

Ojoe? Who came on was brilliant..... Anyone know who he plays for?

In fairness that was a cracking England performance, some very good players on show especially the right back.
