I'll watch it. Football's coming home again fellas.

I know the fa site is wee-wee poor these days but they still haven't got the squad up yet. I'm expecting a number of top players to be absent. You can understand it at this key career stage with this age group. Trent-Arnold ducked out last year the next thing is he's "rewarded" with a first team call up.

Well fans I can see you're really buzzing over this, as expected the squad has been decimated with absentees and eight new players having to be drafted in. We need to get to the semi-finals to qualify for the u20 World Cup. It's a tough ask:

Goalkeepers: Ellery Balcombe (Brentford), Jamie Cumming (Chelsea)

Defenders: Trevoh Chalobah (Ipswich Town, on loan from Chelsea), Nathan Ferguson (West Bromwich Albion), Ed Francis (Almere City, on loan from Manchester City), Tariq Lamptey (Chelsea), Dujon Sterling (Coventry City, on loan from Chelsea), Japhet Tanganga (Tottenham Hotspur)

Midfielders: Tom Bayliss (Coventry City), Elliot Embleton (Sunderland), Conor Gallagher (Chelsea), Nya Kirby (Crystal Palace), Adam Lewis (Liverpool), Max Sanders (Brighton & Hove Albion), Marcus Tavernier (Middlesbrough), Kelland Watts (Newcastle United)

Forwards: Ben Brereton (Nottingham Forest), Niall Ennis (Wolverhampton Wanderers), George Hirst (OH Leuven), Ben Morris (Ipswich Town)

France leading England 2-0 at halftime. Tbh England have hardly been in it so far. France's 2nd was a long ball beautifully controlled by the French player who squared for an easy tap in by another French forward (don't know any names).

No, many many players from top clubs who were eligible are not there, like for example: Callum Hudson-Odoi, Mason Mount, Jadon Sancho, Ryan Sessegnon, Reiss Nelson, Eddie Nketiah, Joe Willock and Phil Foden.

It is therefore no surprise for us not to retain the title or even make the Semi-Finals. We should still beat Norway to qualify for the U20 World Cup next year in an attempt to retain that one. Hopefully we'll get a better turn out for that.

The strength in depth in French football is unbelievable.

They look miles ahead. Wouldn't Mbappe qualify for this tournament as well?

Scary.

The mighty France crashed out against Italy. It's between Italy and Portugal now to see who succeeds the Champions England.

And England went out to Norway, it seems.

Yeah, England's largely shit-munchers - many who'd never played international football before this - and no-hopers from the lower leagues, team.

Rather than the highly talented players causing a stir for the top sides in pre-season tours.

we also chrashed out against them. But, to be fair, there where some crazy results during the campaign

the netherlands has beaten them 6:1, after that Norway has beaten us 5:2 and finally we have beaten the Netherlands 4:1 while Norway has beaten Scotland 5:4 to win the head-to-head against us.

Strange post.

What is the intent of it?

Italian players only get good when they get into their 30's, so these Italy youngsters could be top players in 10-15 years time.

Did every nation take their strongest squad?

I'd be interested to hear the facts about those "making a stir".

And indeed who the "shit-munchers" are.

I don't have the time, nor inclination to spell it out further for you.
