Not at all, he's more like a Özil type of player. He's a winger converted to attacking midfielder.

ESP coach del Bosque plans to call up Thiago for the friendly against ITA on 10 Aug and the Euro qualifier against LIE on 5 Sep. [as]

BRA coach Menezes wanted to name Thiago in the squad for a friendly against GER next month but couldn't convince the player. [as]


Not sure how reliable AS is...but anyway.

ET.

Spain are choking in yet another U19 final.

2-2!

Paco Alcácer...

I dont understand why theres a World Cup for like U18, U19, U20 and U21. Surely doing an U18 and a U21 World Cup would suffice?

Yeah I always thought about this aswell. Stupid imo.

Only the U17 ad U20 World Cups exist.

The European U19's is the qualifying stage for the U20 World Cup as well as the European Championships at that level. Same goes for the U17's.

The European U21's is a tournament in and of itself as well as Olympic qualifiers.

Grats to Spain.

Alcacer scored twice?

Only saw the goals, fair win for Spain?

España campeones de Europa sub-19.

Party done.

Still though it seems strange to have so many Youth tournaments when you have players older than than the age limit. How do you distinguish which group they should be in?

Only the U21's have players over the age limit.

De Gea congratulated the u-19s

Congratulations to u19's, what a team. I think.

Congratulations to the U-19! What a selection!
Although what a selection sounds dumb so it's probably something else
