    Damn shame Olise committed to France (and not get selected!). He’d be a shoo-in for the England squad if he answered the call.

    Not a bad squad overall though, only LB where we’re weak at.

    A decent manager wins the Euros with this group, so I reckon we’ll get KO’d in the quarters.

    Also got the first goal with barely a minute gone:


    I don't think he's known for his aerial ability, but that's a decent, if open, header.

    The good news is one of our players is guaranteed to not get injured at the Euros

    I posted the Spain game extended highlights on the Academy thread. Another stunning goal from Mikey Moore! He could be the real deal that lad!

    Spain called up Carvajal and 38-year-old Jesus Navas, if anyone's wondering.
    I'll be generous and suggest that they're both probably past their best.
    Some brave choices in that squad, I have to say.

    Great news for Keeley, even if it's a position that Ireland are quite strong in.

    They also left out Porro, which is a peculiar decision to say the least.

    U17s out on pens, so harsh as we dominated the game, Italian keeper was superb and MOTM.

    A Chelsea mug the only one to have his penalty saved.

    Moore again impressive with an assist, should’ve had another assist but for the Italian keeper. Olusesi also impressive from the bench.

    Moore also took England's first penalty, which was rather Kane-esque.
    The deep breath and run-up seem to be a requirement for our academy players.

    Scotland have a friendly in Gibraltar in a minute. Wales are there on Thursday.
    England face Serbia at 7.45pm.
    Ireland host Hungary tomorrow at the same time.

    Just to correct my earlier comment, Scotland are not in Gibraltar.
    They're playing at the Estadio Algarve, which is obviously in Portugal.
    I assume the same will be true of Wales on Thursday.

    Quite an unusual looking ground:

    No clubs in that area that are big enough to fill it, unfortunately.
    Farense played there for a while, but they moved back to their local, smaller ground.

    Englands 2nd string trying to play there way out of the squad at the moment - Eze aside there have been very few highlights and Bowen and TAA totally anonymous

    The number of over hit balls from these elite footballers is amazing
