Cheers, Zak. Just put it on now.

England 1 nil up. 15 mins gone.

 

[Otis]

Brazil equalised, but England just bagged a second goal to now lead 2-1.

Rhian Brewster of Liverpool with both goals. Top scorer now for the whole tournament.

 

[SkyBlueZack]

He looks good, just a shame most are at top clubs and won't see first team football for a while, if ever at their current clubs.

 

[Otis]

Yep. England now seem to be doing well at a younger level, but with the top clubs spending top dollar for foreign imports you have to wonder when these kids will get a chance to break through.

The other problem is with the PL being so pressured, how would it affect the youngsters? Some might thrive, some wouldn't. I think we are light years behind other countries such as Germany and Spain in the all round approach they have to coaching and mentoring.

That is a brilliant goal for 3-1 & Brewster's hat-trick!!

Yet the kids appear to be at a comparable level. Surely that pinpoints where the problem lies.

It was. England have been very impressive. Foden of Man City looking especially good.

Hopefully the full England team should be watching to see how a team can be comfortable in possession and some of the decision making has been very good for those still learning. Brazil haven't been too shoddy either, it's been a very good game

 

[Otis]

Well done England! 3-1 victory and another world cup final.

We are clearly doing something right at the younger level.

Totally deserved it and back to back hat tricks for Brewster.

Foden's the best one of this bunch.

 

[Otis]

Foden's the best one of this bunch.

With Man City isn't he and apparently Pep has said he rates him highly.

 

[ovduk78]

McCeachran was outstanding too, not only did he protect the back 4 he always seemed to pick a good pass

Just watched Spain vs Mali SF. Mali were robbed when a long shot hit the bar and bounced down clearly over the line - but not given.
Suspect Spain would have won anyway.
Missed the England SF, but it's on later tonight, so I'll watch it then.
Should be a cracking Final.

Yep at City, hopefully Pep will use him or at least loan him out to Top end Champ side for some game time in a decent side!

Or even a top League Two side.

Just have to find one that is not scoring any goals at the moment.

Any ideas?

Can I be first to say when that lad gets a new contract at Liverpool the headline will be "Brewsters millions"

Youngster with potential.... I hope Pep & Foden are ok with him coming on in the 85th minute.

 

[Otis]

Anyone else really excited about this, this afternoon?

World cup final, Spain v England.

 

[ovduk78]

I'll be watching it as it's live on BBC, should take my mind off what's happening at Luton. Really looking forward to watching England again, hopefully with a positive result at the end

I'm flicking between channels as I still don't know what we voted for.

 

[Otis]

Bloody hell! Already looking like a we woz robbed game.
Clear offside for the goal and then a clear sending off offence not spotted by the ref.

 

[lifeskyblue]

Not offside Otis...our 18 playing him on at moment previous player touched it

Really? Looked well.offside. Will need another look.

 

[lifeskyblue]

Yes he moved out after ball touched. As for sending off...not sure what officials were watching

Missed he other camera angle for the goal.

 

[Otis]

All England teams have this very annoying habit of throwing away great opportunities and shooting when they should pass. Sessegnon did just that. Right back trying to hammer it in with his left foot when there were better options ahead of him.

 

[lifeskyblue]

Poor defending there. Two players slower to react than the attackers. 2 down

Another example again there. Held on 1 second too long

Needed that shot to go in rather than rebound from post. Excellent effort
