lets go the boys

Yeah I meant to say he will be the best striker. And the evidence has been there all season. The guy is 18 years old and making great teams and defenders look like fools.

A strange age group. You'd assume anyone really good would be in the u21s or even the full team.

It's big though, English success in football is welcomed whatever the level for me. Looking forward to the final.

[Ol’ Qwerty Bastard]

agreed. any reason for England fans to be excited has to be a positive, regardless of the age level.

so we have officially released Zlat. interesting decision but im not entirely against it, guessing it was a mutual agreement. loved having him for the one year regardless.

rumours are swirling over an offer for Morata being accepted. considering it's us we probably overpaid for him if we did get him, but im a little excited nonetheless. seems like a great talent and still fairly young, could develop into a phenomenal player. hopefully with Mata and Hererra on board he'll fit right in. haven't seen him play very much but he netted 15 goals and 5 assists in 26 games last year so it sounds promising.

You ****s just eliminted Italy
English young players seemed to me very phisically fit, expecially for young fellas, but many of them might not be prepared for technically superior leagues and have less of an impact than you would imagine.

Mbappé is a beast, he's made a whole season at a very high level, while Martial (who's also still a talent imo, he's just misused, I'd love to see him play as a sole striker in a team oriented on positive transition, like Arsenal in Premier) made just about half a season before the big jump, he's also already played Champions League matches in a Championship winning team, I wouldn't worry about mental fragility.

Also, is there a soul here that follows Serie A?

i follow most of the major leagues. i mainly watch either Napoli or Roma games tho because of the Belgian boys Nainggolan and Mertens.

who do you support?

Napoli
Neapolitan born and raised, but I think last couple of seasons it was a good team to watch play regardless of who you support, Sarri's a genius.

[Ol’ Qwerty Bastard]

nice. they certainly are a fun team to watch play. insigne really impressed me this year and Mertens plays with the kind of energy that would make you believe he's 5 years younger than he actually is. also koulibailly is a mad ting defender, a real beast.

next year should be interesting with a healthy milik

We're not expecting domination or world beaters from this team or in general, we just want a team to be excited about and some hope before tournaments. Lookman is the only guy I'm really familiar with in this team. As said anyone 20 or under and is good enough will be in the higher age group or full team (Dele Alli, and Milan's keeper for Italy for example).

I don't follow Serie A weekly but keep up with what's going on. Napoli are doing really well these days, Milan x 2 not so much and Diego is a God

England vs Scotland in a qualifier tomorrow.
