Spain are a pure quality as you would expect.. but England were a class act 2-1 in the end but Engalnd should have had 4.
We are probs gonna see more of this lot.. first English European champions of any age since 93.. first ever U17's
The last lot to win anything were the 1993 U19's. Including Sol Cambell, Paul Scholes, Chuckle1 and Robbie Fowler.. amongst others.
That was a disciplined and classy performance against arguably easily the best side in Europe. Spain kids are the same the fookin big team.. can pass it about like a dream and have one or two dangerous players to run and skip defenders. They met their match today though.. England coming across as the better team in the end, twice with only the keeper to beat the lads hit it straight at him. Really should have had one of them and be 3-1 up.
Spain went all out to get an equaliser but the English lads held superbly, not least the goalkeeper..incidently who is at Brum.. and showed the characteristic confidence of our Joe.. wonder if that has rubbed off while he was there.
As i say England should have got another as they still took the game to Spain right to the end.
Apart form the first 10mins or so it never looked like U17's, thats how top class a game it was.
I wonder if the press will bother to pick up on this..
The whole spanish first team went out to watch apparently.. heres a report

Correct. Didnt Ireland win the Under 17s world Championship wth Flood McCarthy Ireland and one other City player. They havent made a major tournament since. Only Ireland from that side has made any impact. Scotland got to the U19's final a few years back and non of them are currently in a very poor Scotland side. I remember a very long time ago the Scotland U16 losing the in the U16's World Cup final. The only player who went on to make a very good living for himself out of football was non other than Paul Dickov.
