If you know what's going on in Venezuela at the moment, this could have brought the country an unexpected and much needed smile.
North Bank is the only person to describe him as shit, some people are just extremely defensive if a Liverpool fan doesn't describe a player as fantastic. He was average, absolutely nothing wrong with saying it. Doesn't mean he can't go on to have a good career, but I expected more today.
England wins the U20 World Cup. RAWK complains and moans I truly despair for some of the people who post here.
Sorry Gerry it's got nothing to do with that at all. I remember our manager giving an interview on young players and how people are very quick to write them off, on just one performance. Sadly that's been proved on this very thread. Young players rarely are consistent especially when they are playing as often as they do, in a tournament like this. What about people giving the lad a chance before he's even kicked the ball at Liverpool.Needless to say there will be people on here with a very different opinion on him in the future.
I´ll say something that might surprise you. Real life is different to computer games.
I think Nadal is brilliant. One of the top 10 ever.
Ojo showed some nice glimpses when he came on. England were hanging on a bit towards the end but he showed enough, I wonder if he'll go out on loan next season, I don't think another season with the U-23s is what he needs.
Crosby Nick never fails.
even the Flagpole Corner Under 20's thread isnt safe from the super fans i see....
Golden Ball for Solanke, any thoughts North Bank & Gerry?
If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.
Would like to keep him here. If we sign a player like Salah for example, then having Ojo available instead of signing another winger would be preferable IMO. Would like to see some younger players breaking through and Ojo (and Ejaria) have a good a chance as any others.
Past Golden ball winners; Adama Traore, Paul Pogba, Henrique Almeida, Adiyiah, Messi, Aguero, Matar, Saviola, Seydou Keita.
No doubt Southgate will be rubbing his grubby little hands at the prospect of getting them playing in the style he likes.Depressing thought.
I would just enjoy the win and not worry about that.
Well done to England great to see this team win a competition of this importance. Paul Simpson has done an excellent job with them and deserves credit for that. It would be nice to think that youth football at club level too, will be valued a bit more than was it presently is.
Odds the U20 head coach Paul Simpson being the next England head coach?
Simpson has done well, they played without fear today and that is probably because he's given them a lot of freedom. No pre-historic tactics of sitting behind the ball and soaking up pressure. Would say he deserves the senior job more than Southgate.
