How about a little discussion thread for those that are interested.

Spain v England is about to start. This should be an interesting match...

I can't be bothered posting up groups and fixtures etc but if someone wants to you can.

I fancy England to get a result here. Stand by for egg on face later!!

Azza · 12 Jun 2011 at 19:58

Oh there we go.

1-0

Herrera for Spain!

1-0

Spain look tidy so far.

Bit difficult for England when the clubs don't give a toss and withdraw the best players. Stupid but there you go, sucessful u21 international teams as a group tend to move on together to success, it's another (of the many) reason(s) England will never achieve.

Not watching match, we getting stuffed?

Azza · 12 Jun 2011 at 20:19

Not stuffed as such. Just can't keep the ball for long and not creating much.

Loki · 12 Jun 2011 at 20:35

England's RB looks tidy, I bet Glenn Johnson is sweating a bit. That boy Walker can actually defend

Loki · 12 Jun 2011 at 20:39

Clear handball ?

McBain · 12 Jun 2011 at 20:45

Not surprised we're down really, when you play a poor centre half like Mancienne in central midfield, you're asking for trouble.

Only just got in, how's the United contingent (Jones, Smalling, Cleverly, Welbeck & De Gea) done?

Its been a "meh" game.

Wouldnt judge anyone on todays performance.

I've read over on the CAF that De Gea has had nothing to do bar one wonder save.... was it really a wonder save or are they over cooking it?

Hard to say, even my sky box went to sleep....

Good touch Danny Welbeck...

My God-like status remains intact.

That puts another £m or 2 on the Welbeck story.

Good enough.

Tom84 · 12 Jun 2011 at 21:37

Nice finish from Welbeck, showed a good turn of pace a few minutes after the goal as well. Good to hear the Sky commentators saying Smalling was England's best player

Saw a great pass from Cleverly in amongst all that as well :cool:

Are you watching Sunderland??

Moothead2 · 12 Jun 2011 at 21:41

Why on earth didn't Pearce play Albrighton, joke him sitting on the bench.

BaZ87 · 12 Jun 2011 at 21:59

He's a much better player than Cleverly but it looked like Pearce wanted somebody tucked in on the right supporting the midfield.
