Although 5 of the starting 11 from that final will almost certainly start on Sunday, as will Fry and possibly Armstrong from the bench so the retention rate is actually pretty good from that age group (taking into account Brown, Roberts and Gomez would be there but are missing for other reasons).


Out of interest why is Sam Field not involved in this? Wrong age group or not good enough?

Well he's in the under 19's but he's not in their squad for their  Euro's either, but I suspect the reason for that is Pulis has pulled him out to keep him out as it clashes with pre-season. He was actually one of England's best players in their recent qualifiers.


In more surprisingly positive England news, they've also reached the final of the Toulon tournament for the second year running, also adding on to making the finals of the 2017 under 17 euro's which they lost on penalties after a keeper mistake in that last minute. This is unprecedented youth success for England who've historically done poorly at these tournaments, fingers can only be pointed at the clubs if they fail to break through. It'll be a crying shame because England are the equal of anyone at youth levels these days, after years of being outclassed but getting by on physicality.

the two best teams in the tournament meet in the final without question. Venezuela's defense has been outstanding all tournament (only two goals against, 1 by PK, 1 in the dying minutes of ET) but I dare say they haven't faced an offense like England's who will definitely test how good that defense is. Exciting midfield battle between Cook and Herrera/Lucena. Venezuela's attack relies heavily on their wingers (Peñaranda/Cordova) but I don't know much about England's defense and how they match. Can someone confirm for me whether Lookman plays on the left side? If so I'm eager to watch him go against Ronald Hernandez who has had a hell of a tournament at RB although he struggled at times against Uruguay.

U17s was  awful 4 added mins, Woeful keeper error in 6min of added time as well and manager took off all his pen takers, cost me a fortune

U19s squad is very weird dont understand it to much, We would of won it with our strongest team but missing some key men now

Good to see us in the toulon tourament final but the tourament is a joke this year compared to last year due to world cup and u19 touraments u21 tourament

Lookman plays on the left though he is right footed. He's England's maverick talent, if he's on it he's very difficult to stop.

Big game coming up...

Few Baggies from the board up there today I see, have a great day lads!!

C'mon England be nice to do the sweaties in there own backyard shut them right up.

Can see nothing but an England victory personally, going with 3-nil.

Just seen a post on Facebook from one of the posts on the game from a Scot saying we shouldn't be counting our chickens as the England players are dealing with transfers and renegotiating new contracts etc....Wouldnt Scottish players be doing the same thing too?? Idiot

Those last few minutes is what footballs all about. Time for a new England number one, a good goalkeeper would have saved at least one of them free kicks.
the regime don't like it man

Possible new employers of Hart looking on wouldnt have been too impressed!

Didn't impress at Torino either apparently. Plenty of other good keepers available for England.
