U17 FIFA World Cup

[Centurions]

He was benched for the last game against Egypt and again today.

Yeah, for some reason I missed the Egypt game entirely, could have sworn today was the 3rd game.

Thought our boys did well and nice to see all five get on the pitch.

Heskey could develop into a fantastic goalscoring winger. I'd like to see more aggression in his game (off the ball) but he's always contributing at key moments and such a threat in the box.

0-0 at half-time vs Austria in Round of 16. Been chances at both ends but England having the better of it so far. Live on ITV4.

Early goal for Austria at the start of the 2nd half. Left-back & keeper not filling themselves with glory.

 

[JRockBlues]

England down to 10 players as Rodriguez sent off for late challenge on the Austrian keeper.

Yep disappointing goal to concede and poor challenge. They are up against it now.

2-0

 

[JRockBlues]

Penalty conceded by Braithwaite and confirmed after video review. Can't see England coming back from that.

Nor can I, terrible second half for the team, poor up front and at the back. Disappointing for them.

 

[JRockBlues]

3-0. That's it for sure.

I imagine Ben Wilkinson could one of very few Englishmen happy with the result as I imagine he will now have Heskey and McAidoo available for the UYL next week. Clouds and silver linings !

I note that Austria delivered a totally dominant performance against England, even before the sending-off. I understand it was a excellent team performance and we struggled with their fluidity and movement. Were there any standouts?
