Well done U21’s

[Joy Division Oven Gloves]

Good to see TSL in the celebrations at the end. What a season for him !

[Bessie Red]

Two champions medals for TSL, he must be buzzing!

Joe Hart loves the sound of his own voice.

He is so boring!

Great squad performance and players that were missing due CWC. Carsley and staff plus players very good

[MachoMadness]

Our youth coaching setup must be alright after all. Well done to the lads and TSL even though he didn't play too much of a role, a historic medal round his neck probably feels pretty good no matter how he got it.

[Alan Southstand]

That’s how you do it.

Carsley deserves massive credit for the way these lads have performed all the way through.

This tournament is the first time I’ve heard Conor Coady speak. He sounds like he’s on WhatsApp and been sped up to 2x!

[steve@dcfd]

The first time the German U21s have been beaten in two years since we did it 2years ago.

England U21's, Germany's bogey team. You wouldn't have thought that 10 years ago!!

St George’s Park, plus the EPL Academies, have all made a tremendous difference. Somebody once described the output as a conveyor belt of great talent, which we have seen with the senior squads of late.

No Adam Wharton
No Jamie Gittens
No Liam Delap
No Jobe Bellingham

So why is the England senior team so restrictive snd negative on their style of play? Is it all down to the Manager?

To be fair I imagine that Germany were missing a lot as well. Musiala & Wirtz are better than every player on that list (apart from arguably Jude B) and I’m sure there are players who will be injured or at the (*spits*) Club World Cup with Dortmund/Bayern.

Take a bow Mr Carsley. You have done a brilliant job and have shown the boring England managers and the FA how to win tournaments getting the tactics spot on and playing attractive, controlled, exciting, and entertaining football by a real team of talented footballers who support and play for each other. God only knows why he was ditched in preference to Tommy Tucker!!!!!

[IDM]

I only saw the last 10 minutes and then extra time (missed the goal for a piss break).  The previous 80 mins must have been good as the rest seemed to be parking the bus.  But that was highly effective nonetheless..

[steve@dcfd]

The first half England should have had the game sewn up it should have been 4 with the chances they created before Germany scored

[Guernsey Exile]

Alex Scott’s a brilliant player, him going off has made a huge difference. If he can stay fit he has a chance of making next year’s World Cup squad - he, Elliot Anderson & Adam Wharton are much better than some of the current central midfield incumbents.

Enjoyed watching these U21 games much more than the senior games of late.

The way TSL celebrated at the end was brill, you would have thought he had played the games!
