U17 Euro Championships
Feeling at a loss after the end of the football season ?
Not to worry.......it's the semi finals of the European U17 championships today with both England and Scotland having qualified through the group stages
England play Portugal, KO 4.45
Scotland play Netherlands, KO 7.45
Both games live on Eurosport
England got through the group by beating Malta (the hosts) and a Turkish team that was down to 10 men for most of the match. In the final group game they were beaten by the Netherlands, both teams having already qualified and playing some squad players.
Scotland lost to Portugal in their first game then beat both Germany and Switzerland to qualify out of the group
Portugal and Netherlands will be favourites after winning all 3 of their group games.........but it would be pretty good if we could get an England v Scotland final !.......:D

still 0-0
second half just begun
Yes........they could have used the hour they spent learning that learning to keep the ball instead
I'll be fuming though if England win then Scotland get beat.
but well done, LET'S GO SCOTLAND later!!!
I think a few of their youngsters will - looks promising for Fulham.
Nope
The final is today, kick off 6pm on Eurosport
England v Netherlands
The Dutch beat us fairly easily in the group match but both teams were playing some squad players after already qualifying
Teams might be a bit different today............I suppose realistically the Dutch are a better team and should win but you never know
England won this 4 years ago a bit against the odds as we didn't appear to be the best team then either, so it can be done
we don't really do that well at youth level
we've only won 1 of the 31 UEFA tournaments at U16 and U17 levels (it used to be U16 but changed to U17 in 2002 -it's an annual tournament started in 1982)
In the same period we've won 1 out of the 30 UEFA U18/U19 tournaments
1-1 at the break.
even the penalties were great!!!
What brilliant penalties from the lads. The seniors could learn a thing or two from that!
