UEFA U21 Championships 2011

Thiago made 108 passes for Spain against Czech Republic, 35 more than any other player, at a success rate of 91%.



He's also completed the most dribbles in the tournament so far.

Shame about his shooting and his pass from that freekick.

Has he even got an assist yet?

Shhh Kyro.

Even he knows he's too fucking good, can see it on the pitch

He set up Javi Martínez who set up Ander vs England

So that's a no then.

Shut up cunt.

Probably.

Great goal.

Clearly pulled a North Korea and paid Spanish actors to do it for them.

That save

Come on Denmark.

Anyone got a stream? They were supposed to show these games on Eurosport here but they aint on for some reason

2-1

What a game!

That was an embarrassment, but not unlike the A-level side at last years world cup where we crashed and burned against Japan (coincidence that also ended 3-1?)

Bashkim Kadrii was our best man today, by miles he deserved his goal and surely another, so unlucky he hit the crossbar. Fantastic goal in the end for 3-1, Iceland was the better side and had they scored once more or we had not they would have been through to the Semi finals.

This was the last game for our coach which i until today thought had been okay, but he gave Nicki Bille Nielsen too many chances and should have played N. Agger from at very least the 45th minute. Morten Weighorst (formerly Dundee and Celtic player) will take over from the next u-21 gathering.

Switzerland and Belarus through then...

Switzerland v Czech Republic/England
Spain v Belarus

#EnglandU21s team v Czech: Fielding Walker Bertrand Smalling Jones (c) Henderson Muamba Cleverley Sinclair Sturridge Welbeck

Glad he took my advice. Cleverly and Muamba in. Aswell as Sinclair. Mancienne, Rose and Rodwell dropped.

Not too sure if we'll go through.

Pearce got given another 2 years

I would of had Albrighton in for Welbeck and moved Sturridge into the middle...

Same. not too sure on Sinclair starting too.
Oh well.

Reckon we'll do well, though.

Sinclair can cut inside though. Rose just played as a normal winger and if you are gonna play wingers that stick on the wing then you need 2 up front.

4-5-1/4-3-3 and the wingers should always be cutting inside.

Not showing Spain live on TV here, just the England - Czech match, will probably watch although interest for the tournament dropped a good 90% based on yesterdays disappointment, it wasn't just a loss it was a total collapse.

No idea with predictions the Czech were like any other nation against Spain but they are a good strong team which seems to matter most. Although for spectators i hope its Spain and England that go through, with England getting to play the Swiss, another rematch from recent A-level Fixtures

Semi-finals:
Switzerland v Czech Republic
Spain v Belarus

61 - England played more unsuccessful long balls than any other team in the U21 European Championships group stage. Stymied.
