Lordofthebling Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 You have to wonder, if their progress wasn't blocked by the premier league - what kind if team we'd have in the future... It's sad that most of these lads won't get into their home side first teams. But well done lads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 A little harsh on Spain who have played some decent stuff, but just seemed wide open to balls across their box.

Xiled Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Huge character from England's U17s, they've been great going forward. Very impressed with their character to win this. Love the crowd reaction to England's goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastonboy Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Foden has been earmarked by Pep for great things and it's easy to see why. Great game of football, the better team won - but why are they all wearing sports bras? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they have chips in which monitor their performance, heart rate and body temperature etc. Probably quite important in that heat. Either that or they've had a few too many curries out in India and have developed man boobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Those things are used in stadiums that don't use prozone I believe, picks up all the gps data whereas prozone has several cameras around the stadium which tracks everything automatically.

Coppello Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 I put it on at 2-0 so only saw England playing well. They were absolutely fantastic and have an excellent style of play. It is absolutely crucial that England find a way to manage the transition to the men's game as we could have a bright future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Rich Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 England coach Steve Cooper speaking to BBC Sport before being engulfed by his players: "I am just so proud, we were 2-0 down and we played our way out, we didn’t stop, stuck to our style – and that’s the way to do it."

I thought they played well throughout. Spains goals came on the break, and we had numerous chances to score before we did: the first good chance came after two minutes. I don't think the final score flattered us either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider Queen Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Maybe we should select the World cup squad from the U20, U19 & U17s.. They'd probably do far more than the overpaid ponces of the premiership! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loco Rojo Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 Amazing thing to achieve and what a tournament - as some have said; the national team could learn a lot from this bunch of lads. Unfortunately with the way the English game is set up, agents will now be scrambling to get these kids huge deals (so they themselves can cash in on it), in turn the kids will quickly lose touch with reality (as seen so many times when 17/18 year old kids are paid thousands per week) and for most of them they probably won't get enough first team game time to help them develop. The FA hasn't done anywhere near enough to improve the set up for English players and neither have clubs. They won't learn from this or build on this huge opportunity. Good to see the media jumping on the bandwagon now too adding to the pressure and over hype of expectation that the kids are going to have to manage.

Phileas Fogg Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 10 minutes ago, Raging_Robin said: That's actually not true. Over the past 10 years 82% of players that played in the Champions league quarter final and beyond started playing 1st team football at 17. Completely smashes this so called myth. If you're good enough you're old enough. That’s a bit of a misleading comparison, Tim. Based on that stat as you’ve quoted it - that could mean John Stones playing at Barnsley or Alexis Sanchez at Cobreloa. That doesn’t necessarily mean they were first team regulars for Premier League sides which is the point I was replying to. It is rare for u17s to be playing regularly in the prem.
