Forgot that was on tonight, ta.

England leading Spain 1-0 thanks to Frazer Campbell. Milner missed a pen earlier.

Make that 2-0! Milner makes up for his pen miss. Good run by Walcott to set it up. 15 mins or so left.

England through to the semis with a game to spare then.

It's funny how **** Spain are. They started the first match passing it around like the senior team but after 20 minutes i think they realized they weren't Xavi & co. Since then they have been absolutely dog ****. Germany were miles better and so were England.

Spain U21 are missing some of their players - the best ones have been cherry picked to go to South Africa

Sweden 1-2 Italy

Seen the best and worst from Mario Balotelli. Scored a very good goal and then got himself sent off with 15 mins of the first half to go. Sebastian Giovinco set up Aquafresca to score the second. Giovinco was a joy to watch, nimble, quick, skillful. Sweden wasted far too many chances and lacked intelligence to break open the tight Italian defence. Toivonen scored a late consolation goal - good team goal. Italy are through.

...and tiny. No bigger than a baby's thumb.

Any idea why milner gets to play in these champs considering he is 23.

He was 21 when the Championships started. Likewise David Silva was also eligible to play but is in South Africa

I don't think England will play Richards, Walcott, Agbonlahor and maybe a few others. I can see Rodwell, Campbell and Tompkins playing.

Anyone know how Tosic done? Only watched the odd highlights and never heard him mentioned once.
