Football World Cup

Unread post by slinger »

The Under 20s Football world Cup that is. I know most of you don't give a twopenny damn about footy, but I do so I'm happy to relate that the England U20 team beat Italy 3 - 1 today in the semi-final so are in the World Cup Final against Venezuela on Sunday, at 11:00. These are the lads who should be breaking into the full England side in the future. It was nice to have a bit of good news today.

Even better news (for me at least) is that two of the goals were scored by Dominic Solanke to go with the one he scored in the group stage and the goal that won the quarter final for us. Liverpool have just purchased young Dom from Chelski for £3M, which is a bargain basement price in today's market.

Still waiting for a Millwall player to break into the England team (ahem). Seriously though, this is good news and bodes well for the future. I have always thought that success breeds success and failure breeds failure. Look at the senior side over that last 50 years. Two semi finals in major tournaments. Well done our boys. Now go and beat Venezuela.

Well done England for winning the U20's World Cup. Thoroughly enjoyed the game and a special mention to the manager Paul Simpson who has done an excellent job in keeping team spirit at the highest level. Lets hope some of these youngsters can make the break through in their relative teams. :clap:
