UEFA U21 Championships 2011

Oooh ooh, opening games today, not that Iceland - Belarus will really set it off, looking forward to see how we perform at home vs Switzerland who is probably the team to compete with in group 1. The tournament really gets going with Spain and England, but we all know that

Spain have 2 World Cup winners in their u21 squad. England's u21 squad has 2 senior capped players.

Eriksen & co. > All

Bring it biatches!

Is it crazy I'm considering betting on an u-21 match? Spain at over evens to beat England is surely worth a large bet.

"They can be a dangerous team for us but we expect to play well and win,'' said Barcelona's midfielder Thiago Alcantara, whose father Mazinho won the World Cup with Brazil in 1994.

"We play the better football. We are very technical and pass the ball more, whereas England are very direct.

"The only ones we really know are Wilshere and Richards but they are not here. That is good news for us. Richards is a very good defender while Wilshere is probably the best footballer in the whole team. We've not really heard of any of the players."

Thiago did add that he enjoyed watching English football. "It's very entertaining and quick. The top teams are also more competitive.''

Will be good in a years or so time when the usual conveyor belt of transfer targets are rolled out we can say I saw him when no one knew him!

That's the plan anyway

No-one watching Belarus-Iceland?

Yeah, got one eye on it, kinda pissed I picked the wrong defender for my fantasy team

Aron Gunnarsson

Finnobogason, my captain, isn't playing

Just noticed everyone in Iceland's squad has a second name ending with 'son'

Because all of them have fathers.

Iceland are playing some decent stuff.

Why is this the first game and not Denmark by the way?

Forest, it's tomorrow and against Spain.

When's Englands first game and who's it against?

Denmark coach Keld Bordinggaard has drafted Frederik Sørensen into his squad as an 11th-hour replacement for the injured Søren Frederiksen.

Surprised he didn't make the squad in the 1st place. He was good at Juve this season.

@Ben: I'm not sure how the fixture list works.

Laugh at the name similarity or I will kill you Bené.

Whens the first game, and what channel

The lack of which tells you the score.

Strange how Spain and England are the only big nations
