European Championships European U21 England v Spain

[bazzer9461]

England U21 1-0 up through a deflected free kick in the 1st half that included 5 yellows and 2 reds. Spain didn’t seem to like the the celebration but we are winning only just Spain have had a goal ruled out for Offside.

 

[bazzer9461]

Dirty bastards the Spanish

 

[Grumpy Git]

Too much playing out from the back. Has nearly cost us.
bring on a STRIKER

 

[bazzer9461]

England are being sloppy

 

[bazzer9461]

Referee is very poor

 

[Andy Stroud]

It’s not a pretty game that’s for sure

 

[bazzer9461]

England are living dangerously

 

[Grumpy Git]

The Spanish keeper is superb

 

[bazzer9461]

Looks like the Spain will have a penalty in the last minute

 

[bazzer9461]

Yes absolutely f*****g brilliant Trafford saves in the last couple of seconds a Spanish penalty

 

[Osei Yaw]

Fair play to Trafford there. Redeemed himself in my eyes after he wiped Joseph out against us.

 

[bazzer9461]

4 red cards

 

[Grumpy Git]

I forgive him for flattening Joseph

 

[Grumpy Git]

Never, ever, ever a penalty. Well done Trafford, the cheating Spanish t**t got his just deserts.

Congratulations the those lads and Lee Carsley. Thoroughly deserved, lived dangerously at times, but to win tournaments you need a little luck along the way.

What Southgate should be doing is blooding this lot in for the future, but of course he won’t, because he will stick with players he likes ie Maguire, Pickford, Phillips, Henderson because he’s a stubborn horrible defensive minded negative. We will never win a major trophy with him at the helm.

Last time the u21's won a championship was in 1984 with a certain Kevin Brock in the team!

 

[Steve Gilbert]

Spain started their journey of winning the euros and World Cup by winning the U21 tournament so let’s hope we go on the same journey. It just takes Southgate to drop players like Maguire, Shaw, Henderson, Pickford.

The Spanish keeper is superb

Both keepers are quality. Their keeper is the only one I had some sympathy for in that Spanish team.

And bloody lovely. England have played some good stuff in this tournament.

Southgate has been involved in developing this approach/culture from the age groups up. If we win he will have been key whether he is still manager or not.

Also, when has Pickford let England down? I genuinely can't remember anything in particular in his many England performances.

I just don’t think Pickford is as good as Pope, Ramsdale. Then this young lad Trafford is the future England Goalkeeper.

I reckon there are still some on here who think that those players need a loan at a NL side before being good enough to play for a top 6 league one team!!!

Or that a 34 year old GK who can't kick or save anything from distance should start ahead of them.

Thanks for replying. I'd missed your immediate responses and was getting a little worried about you.

I’m in Spain and watched their game against Ukraine, they were nothing but cheating bastards in that game, every time one of them cheated I just laughed out loud, I think all the Spanish in the bar were embarrassed when they showed the slomos.
