Then has the cheek to clap the ref. Dread to think what the lower league refs are like in France.

What is your prediction FUA ?

I think that if Chile can avoid conceding an early goal, they will run the Germans close but lose by a single goal, possibly in extra time.

 

Nice result, with winning bets on Germany and Germany by 1 goal netting £24.

I was feeling a bit sorry for Chile until that elbow, but that was the clearest sending-off ever, and swayed my loyalty totally towards Germany.

 

Great tornament, most enjoyable, congratulations to Germany for winning it and Russia for hosting it so well.

Congratulations to Germany on yet another tournament win.It's hard to see beyond them in next year's World Cup for they have such an effective system at all levels of their game.It is said they have fifty players chasing places for Russia 2018?

They would absolutely muller us with their B or C team at the moment. Still as long as the bloated 'best league in the world' league continues to pull in the cash for their self interested clubs 😂

Germany did look very good and that was nowhere near their first team. They will be very difficult to beat next year. All their players look so confident on the ball

The Germans are a good team, a well oiled machine but they didn't have much of a cutting edge. The Chileans gifted them a soft goal after ca 20 mins the Germans were then able to play their usual tournament tactics of sitting back and playing counter attacking football. The Chileans were much the more enterprising and creative team but giving away soft goals is a no no at that level.

 

England coaches at all levels should study how the Germans play this counter attacking football in tournaments where you can ill afford to lose a game of even go 1 down in a game especially against a team thyat plays well on the counter.

Germany may have strength in depth, and loads of young talent but tonights result -

 

Germany Under-19 1 Holland Under-19 4

 

Perhaps Holland, like Ajax, have some young talent to take notice of too. Great result for the Oranje !

Our lads also beat the German U19's 4-1 in the quarter finals.

And they won!!!

 

Something definitely happening in the youth ranks..let's hope they get some game time at their clubs.
