Steve_E Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 I really liked Portugal's number 6, their captain. Didn't think England played very well, but two great goals, Solanke's in particular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efc1111 Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) Didn't they do well? You can often tell who's going to score a penalty from the look in their eyes and the way they step back from the ball, and our lads all looked absolutely determined and ready to do it, while I could tell which of the Dutch lads were going to miss. Ledson looks a real prospect and only 16, while Kenny is a neat and tidy defender who knows his job. Pleased that they both scored their penalties. England won this competition four years ago too, with Barkley and Sterling & co, and it underlines what Martinez has said about youth football in this country. At this age group we're as good as anyone else, but it's the transition from this age group into first team football where it falls down. I hope we do well by this squad because there are some promising players among them and it would a waste to see them rot away in a reserve side until the age of 21 before they're discarded in favour of the new crop. At least we can be sure that won't happen to the Everton lads. Edited May 21, 2014 by efc1111 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_E Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Both Ledson and Kenny seem to do exceptionally well in the air despite not being very tall. I've seen both win a lot of headers this tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Sterling played in it in 2011 when the reached the semi-finals. Hallam Hope was joint top scorer that year. I wonder if Ledson would've preferred to have made his debut vs. Hull or win this tournament as captain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
