A struggle to watch but a hard earned 3 points taken from the Spuds. (and +40 on the predictor 
)
Good result that. Had been expecting a draw.
Had spurs to win 1-2,changed it to 1-1 when i saw kane was out.
England u17s unlucky to be trailing at half time in the WC…
Cracking game.

Well done lads
Bloody hell. That has all gone quite well.
Cracking pass for the 5th.
U17 & U20 world cup winners now. Amazing
Hope for the future perhaps.
We can but hope…
…nah, once the money goes to their heads, they’ll be rubbish…as usual

Dunno, Sterling is doing well. Another goal today.
Very few will break into the first team at Premier League clubs, they’ll probably get bought up by Chelsea and sent out on loan for the rest of their careers.

Those aren’t really the issues. The problem is that few if any of them will get a start in a PL team. Indeed I’d encourage them to try in Germany, Spain, France or Italy. Those countries will have noticed the success of the English U17 & U20’s and I suspect would be forward thinking enough to try to bring them through.
We ought to be well set for some success in the World Cups of 2022 & 2026 but it won’t happen if these young players stay with their current PL clubs. Which of the current top 6 can honestly say they have been or are nurturing much of this young talent by giving them prolonged opportunities? The odd player perhaps but not many.

Sadly no managers are in a position to take a risk of playing them.
The owners expect results today.
Unless you change the rules on how many British players are fielded per match.
Would a lot of these players not be better off dropping down to the championship.
