    Tayo Edun had a stormer this evening as England thump Italy 5-1 in the Elite U20 tournament. There must be a pun of some kind in there with the game being played at Gorgonzola !!!

    And the rest ... with the highlight being Johansen and Norwood 'kicking lumps' out of each other -

    "Stefan Johansen came up against Fulham team-mate Oliver Norwood on Sunday evening as Norway beat Northern Ireland 1-0 in the final round of World Cup Qualifiers in Oslo. The match eventually came down to an own goal from Chris Brunt, handing the Norwegians all three points on their home turf.

    Norwood celebrated his 50th international cap already in the knowledge that Northern Ireland had secured a Play-Off spot after Scotland drew to Slovenia prior to kick off, although victory would potentially have given them an easier route to Russia as a seeded team. Norwood played the the opening 45 minutes before making way for George Saville. Johansen was involved in the opening 88 minutes of the match, and was substituted for Martin Linnes in the dying minutes. The Norwegian captain made a telling contribution to the match, with the goal coming from his cross into the box as Brunt steered the ball into his own net.


    Tomas Kalas, who was also in Group C with Norwood and Johansen, played 90 minutes for the Czech Republic against minnows San Marino. The Czechs ran out 5-0 winners against San Marino, who finished their World Cup Qualification campaign without a point. Czech Republic finished third in their group, behind Germany and Ireland.

    Tim Ream was an unused substitute on Friday evening as the USA demolished Panama 4-0 in a crucial World Cup Qualifier. Their final deciding match is on Tuesday evening in Trinidad and Tobago, and a win would book their place on the plane to Russia this summer.

    In Africa, Neeskins Kebano helped keep the Democratic Republic of Congo’s World Cup hopes alive as he played 72 minutes as they beat Libya 2-1 away from home. Only the top of the group goes through, and DR Congo currently sit in second place, three points behind Tunisia and two behind on goal difference. Up next for Kebano is Guinea, three points is a must, and Tunisia need a loss to bottom of the group Libya for DR Congo to progress.


    At Under-21 level, Aron Davies was an unused substitute for Wales in their 3-1 away win over Liechtenstein.

    Jon Dagur Thorsteinsson played 90 minutes for Iceland at the same level in their 2-0 win in Slovakia and next travel to Albania on Thursday.

    On Saturday, Mikolaj Kwietniewski played 90 minutes for Poland’s Under-19s as they won 3-0 over Belarus, they face a real test of Tuesday when they come up against Germany.

    Kind of had forgotten that England U17s are still playing these World Cup games. As of course is Steven Sessegnon, who had 2 assists in the team's 4-0 win over Iraq yesterday. They've topped their Group and go on into the knockouts.

    As you'll have gathered from the pic, Steven Sessegnon played his part. Next up, the USA.

    Steven Sessegnon is off to the World Cup Final.

    Our young right back played for the first 70 minutes and had an assist - his third altogether - as England U17s beat Brazil 3-1 this afternoon. Steven was booked but so far as I'm aware that doesn't affect him playing in the Final and think he was taken off to be on the safe side.

    The final will be against Spain or Mali on Saturday.
