UEFA Euro U21 Championships

[The_weatherman]

I think some people had Iceland down as a bit of a dark horse to win the tournament, there is actually a lot of talent in that side, Sigurdsson looks an excellent player, I bet Reading regret letting him go, albeit for 6 million euros.

How come Spain and England are in the same group, is this tournament not seeded?

Too bad they gave that pen and red card. Still quite impressive for them to be in the finals, we are only a tiny nation after all. Keep an eye on Kolbeinn Sigthorsson, his brother is former Champ manager legend Andri Sigthorsson by the way.

looking forward to spain vs england tonight - hopefully a decent game - really starting to miss football now!

[Shaggy]

It's a sad state of affairs when you spend all ****ing day looking forward to an U21 international game

But that's been me today.

[Gibbo]

Its been me too, but I cant ****ing watch it because my Sky is out because of the rain

[Shanks]

21s line-up v Spain: Fielding, Walker, Bertrand, Smalling, Jones, Mancienne (c), Henderson, Cleverley, Rose, Welbeck, Daniel Sturridge

[Gibbo]

Would love to see Hendo get a couple of goals, and then refuse to celebrate with Jones,

[Shaggy]

Looking forward to seeing Thiago and Mata. Should be good this. Find myself wanting Spain to win

[Muddled]

Spain score a headed goal ...

[sevennilphil]

Mata running the show in midfield alongside Javi Martinez. Jeffren has been gash so far. Henderson has barely had a kick. For me, Jones lost his man for their goal.

[RichC]

mata has looked very good, most things seem to be going through him.

[Rich]

Mata the star man so far.

[sevennilphil]

Sign this boy up. He's got a real swagger to his play. If he really is interested in coming, PAY THE MONEY!

[Rich]

England have been **** though. No cohesion.

[Muddled]

Javi Martinez making things tick for me, Alonso-esque.

From the handful of touches Henderson (and England) have had, I've been impressed with his quick reading of the game and his ability to see a pass and make it, whether it's first time or after he gets hold of the ball. My only concern is that he lacks a bit of bite for central midfield and us happy to drop off, rather than push on.

[el matador]

henderson needs to step up and start to put his foot on the ball in midfield. mancienne is rubbish and cant pass for ****. he should be asking for the ball and trying to make things happen.

when youre a £16m midfield player theres nowhere to hide. martinez on the other hand is running the show.
