Another footballing event to keep us entertained Busy Summer!

I just hope these will be entertaining! Can't live without my footy!

We've got 6 youngsters in the England squad. England have a real good chance here, some good talent.

No Nigeria this time. Weird and no defending champions (Swiss)

i saw england u17 play against denmark is not as good as last season u17 team from what i saw

is lack creative number 10 player like mceachran, box box player cody(sp?) and smarter scorers and consistent like afobe and wickham

and even though wickham very averag eplayer. but hewas like a giant compare to everyone and just run like a monster and bulldoze all everyone

I thought they were in the U19's now?

This squad contains Dunn, Sterling, Morgan, Belford, Regan and Smith.

Ngoo, Ince, Robinson, Coady and Robinson are in the under-19's.

That's impressive

You missed out Wisdom from the U19's, captaining them too

So I did..

Starts today, if anyone cares.

This will hopefully keep me entertained.

About to kick off in a few.

U-17 football is the worst, I have no idea who the fucks on the US team are. 1 from Japan and Germany each though, flavorful.

Anyone to look out for?

Alejandro Guido

Dylan Tombides

Lucas Piazon (sp) from Chelsea (by way of Sao Paulo) is in this.

If he is not playing for the US and is not Italian heritage than I might have to kill myself.

Oh awesome, only seen videos of the guy.

It's great to see that packed stadium there to watch the game. I wonder if the other games will be like that. Hopefully it aint like the U21 euros where the stands are occupied by about 3 men and a dog

Raheem and Jack Dunn as well.

From this game since I really don't know C. Fierro...Haven't seen enough of N.Korea...

Mexico dominated most of the half but North Korea look okayish on occasions when they try to counter. Basically exact same style of play by the North Koreans in all age groups from 17's, 20's, 23's and to the seniors.

Van Velzen

The danish team played some decent football at the tournament in Serbia back in may, with a few players that had their debuts in the top level club sides here. Ones too look for in the danish team are Viktor Fischer who recently was picked up by Ajax. He is a great offensive midfielder and have scored quite a few goals in the years coming up through the youth national teams, he haven't been playing in the highest level for clubs though so only time will tell what he really has to offer

Kenneth Zohore from FC Copenhagen, who had 5 appearances in Champions League this season and is a special player, he is 6"4 and weighs close to 100 kg, very few defenders can compete with a player of his size, if he can combine his size, strength and technique there is no limit for him. He is also distantly related to Dider Drogba.

Last but certianly not least in my eyes is Lucas Andersen who debuted for Aab this season while they were still last in the league, a tough position for any player to start out in, but given that he is still only 16 he showed that he has real talent and is being compared to Jesper Grønkjær who is regarded by the coaches there to be greatest talent to come out of the club and could in a few years easily be in a much larger club (*cough* Ajax *cough*)

Although, our chances aren't great and the group we landed in is really tough i hope we can produce some good football at least and contribute to a nice tournament in Mexico again (25 years ago in this month that Danish Dynamite was created)

This should be an interesting tournament as long as no one is cheating. I hope FIFA had some sort of reliable proof that all of these players are actually under 17. As embrassing as it is some African nations have used over aged players before. I hope those teams were kicked out during the qualifying tournament so that crap does not happen on the big stage.

Wouldnt be surprised if Nigeria rolled up with Yakubu in their squad.

Nigeria aren't in this. The mighty Congo eliminated them!
