The all-encompassing TV thread.

[ursus arctos]

Foden puts England ahead by converting a simple chance and goes full point to my name on the back.

He’s a piece of work, isn’t he?

[San Bernardhinault]

This is a cracking match. The fact that the England keeper (Anderson?) looks so dodgy means that there's no lead I'd be comfortable with.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Blimey, 4-2 England from a free kick after a stupid rugby tackle.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Bloody hell.

[San Bernardhinault]

I wasn't expecting this after 35 minutes.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Spain now spoiling for a fight. Strange end to a good game.

[steveeeeeeeee]

Only watched the second half, but what a game, England have been phenomenal. Rhian Brewster was a pupil at the school where I did my PGCE placement, by all accounts, a lovely kid.

On another note, England are superb at producing a never ending stream of strong, pacey full-backs and attacking wide men. But it seems that producing players for the centre of the pitch is more challenging.

[ursus arctos]

Spain ran out of gas and then lost their composure.

None of which detracts from an excellent second half by England.

[The Awesome Berbaslug!!!]

It's fascinating to See an England team coming from 2-0 down to win 5-2 against spain, doing a very passable impression of Ajax 95-96.

Ursus, Foden is pointing at his back because if he doesn't milk this opportunity and become nationally famous, he's going to be playing at huddersfield in five years time.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Foden now has his shirt on backwards so you can see his name during the post-match interview. Erm.

[San Bernardhinault]

So, England have won the U-17 World Cup, U-20 World Cup, and U-19 European Champs this year.

Are the FA actually doing something right? Or is this just good fortune?

[Cal Alamein]

Fantastic team work from England. Love watching their energy.

I’m never up to date with football fashion, so how long have the male sport bras been in vogue?

[Rogin the Armchair fan]

Highlight of the match for me aside from the goals was when Brewster walloped it into that nasty number 3's face from about three yards away and totally poleaxed him. The Spanish left back had been fouling Foden all the first half up til then and stamped on his back while he was on the ground. He'll go far...

[The Awesome Berbaslug!!!]

Even I enjoyed that. That was a pretty unpleasant thing he did.

[elguapo4]

Three cracking goals in the Hull v Forest game

[Tactical Genius]

Well done young England. Putting on my AEB hat on. These recent underage results has me slightly worried. However as long as England appoint the likes of Southgate I'm good.

[The Awesome Berbaslug!!!]

Don't worry TG, all these kids are either at Chelsea, or Man City.

[Sean of the Shed]

Most of them won't likely play for either of those teams, mind.

[Diable Rouge]

Barcelona unperturbed by off-field events, win 2-0 away to Bilbao.

[Sean of the Shed]

Foden now has his shirt on backwards so you can see his name during the post-match interview. Erm.

Watching the presentation it looked like all the players had done so.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Had they? Then "erm" to the lot of them.

[Sean of the Shed]

"Dejan Lovren left out after getting injured in the warm-up". Yeah right, more like given a kicking by his team-mates so he couldn't fuck it up for them again.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Which is more or less what I said.

[Sean of the Shed]

So, anyone changed their opinion on Troy Deeney after trying to gouge Joe Allen's face yesterday?

[Janik]

Not at all, his behaviour towards Allen fitted very squarely with my previous opinion of him. This is a guy who has received a 10 month prison sentence for street violence. And as Etienne notes on the cricket thread, it takes an awful lot for a first time offender to be sentenced to jail for affray, to the point where Ben Stokes actions may not clear the bar for a custodial sentence.
