    Onomah will do his 2017-18 opportunities no harm with a
    decent injury-free U20 WC campaign + pre-season showing.
    He at least knows he will get his chance on merit, when it comes.

    KWP and Onomah helped England to beat Costa Rica and reach the quarter finals of U20 world cup. According to some on Twitter, Onomah again "bossed the game".

    England U20s faced Costa Rica earlier today. This was the lineup:



    An Ademola Lookman brace was enough to take the team past Costa Rica, who scored late from the penalty spot:



    Interesting to see the video ref being used again, this time to chalk off a Costa Rica goal for offside.
    Walker-Peters seems to have played at left-back.
    Arsenal's Maitland-Niles came off the bench, replacing Onomah.
    Gave away the penalty rather unnecessarily too, for me.

    Please use a different emoji. May I suggest the Black Lodge one that goes with all tweets about Twin Peaks?

    Vincent Janssen scores to put the Netherlands 2-0 up against Morocco:


    It finished 2-1.

    England U19s have selected a 23 man squad for a pre-Euros training camp.
    Marcus Edwards is one of those named.
    Other Spurs-related inclusions are Ryan Sessegnon, a supposed transfer target, and Andre Dozzell, son of Jason.
    He's at Ipswich, just as his dad was when he started.

    The USCOVFEFE are qualified for the last eight with a 6-0 win over New Zealand, although CCV was suspended for that match due to picking up two yellows in the group match against Saudi Arabia. There was another link to Spurs in that match, though, as goalkeeper Jonathan Klinsmann is the son of former Spurs star Kasey Keller.

    ...wait, I got that last part wrong.

    Were they unable to appeal that ridiculous red card, then? Two absolute joke decisions, by anyone's standard.

    Moussa Sissoko is doing something of worth shock...

    He always seems to do OK for France - so he keeps getting picked.

    Maybe Sissoko and Paulinho will team up at Bayern?

    I'd be surprised if there were too many takers outside France or China. Mauricio Pochettino is one of the best coaches around and can turn Rose and Walker into silk purses. If he's not impressed then it looks unlikely that there's going to be a rush to sign him given the fee and wages.

    Marseille or PSG? Monaco when everyone's ****ed off this summer?

    So there were two things of note from Janssen's performance against Ivory Coast




    Which one do you think our honest and responsible press will give the most coverage to?

    Nice to see him on the score sheet again, but what's going on with the Ivory Coast? What a battering.
    Weakened team, I assume?

    Rotated would be putting it politely: Aurier, Kanon, Kessie and Seri were the only regulars who started, Gervinho, Bailly and Doumbia were on the bench, but no sign of Zaha, Kalou, Bony or Gradel.

    First of all, the USI-E-A-I-A-I-O U20s lost 2-1 to Venezuela in extra time the other night with this lineup


    Secondly, here's the England U20 lineup for their match with Mexico

    Josh Onomah sent off for England U20s for absolutely nothing.

    KWP the best player on the pitch by some distance.
