    Our team would be miles better if we had all our players available.

    The likes of Trafford, Branthwaite, Lewis Hall, Rico Lewis, Colwill, Wharton, Mainoo, Gittens and Delap are all eligible but not there.

    That's almost an entire first XI because i'd argue that pretty much all of them would start if available.

    I appreciate that youth brings its own enthusiasm but these lads play with a freedom and enjoyment that just seems to disappear as they advance to the senior ranks. I would rather play this group in our qualifiers than that shower of shit we have seen recently

    Agreed, it was a far more enjoyable watch than the two senior games we've just witnessed. I thought their number 9 looked like a real Nathan Jones handful of a striker. We're bigger than Sparta Prague!

    New rule for goalkeepers wasting time.
    IFAB bring in a new rule.
    Goalkeepers have 8 seconds to release the ball, unless being impeded by opposition players or a corner is given against them
    Had a trial in one league and now being used in Under 21 tournament

    watched the end of the Spain v Romania game.

    Cracking goals and turn around.

    Hadn't noticed the new 8 second rule as mentioned above.  Will watch out for it as coming to our games next season.

    Conor Coady apparently. Trending on twitter due to comments like this one:

    Both sides could have scored, some killer passes from England followed by poor choices on crosses. Could go either way.

    Some woeful shooting from England.

    Incredible game in the u19 championship right now. England 5-5 Germany, with Germany being 5-1 up just after half time.

    Guess who decided the second half wouldn't be worth watching...

    If I had started to watch, the fifth German goal would have seen me turn over anyway. 

    In my defence it looked like it was going to be double figures for the Ethels when the half-time whistle blew.

    Incredible comeback but it's likely we'll need to beat Holland in the last match to progress. As they've qualified already, maybe they will rest players.

    A decent number of PL regulars in that side, and that's not including players like Lewis-Skelly who are in the full England squad.

    Germany rested their whole 11 and already 1-0 up

    It looks like England v Dulwich Hamlet with that kit.

    Nothing to worry about, the u19s came back from 5-1 down last night.

    I know these players are young, but some of the decision making is so poor.

    Lots of possession, poor decision making in the last third and no end product again for England.

    Scared to shoot until a good chance becomes a half chance, then they decide to have a go and stick it in row Z. Germany are not even playing well.

    Why are 7/8 of our starters not there!?

    tuchel doesn’t wanna pick Wharton, he should be playing, 

    last time we won it, they were all there.
