Yep, the U-21s lost the Euro 2009 final 4-0 to Germany in Malmo.

We. Won. On. Penalties.

June 28th, 2009 | By: Daryl | 8 Comments »

What a semi-final. We were 3-0 up at half-time thanks to Martin Cranie, Nedum Onuoha and a Swedish OG. Game over? Apaprently not.
Sweden came back to make it 3-3 by the 81st minute and Fraizer Campbell was sent off in extra time. So penalties it was. And as any England fan knows, shootouts aren’t exactly [...]

England Under 21s got off to a great start at the Under-21 Euros by beating Finland 2-1 with ten men. Nine and a half minutes of highlights above, but worth a watch if you have time.

England Under 21s Demolish Azerbaijan to Warm Up for U-21 Euros

June 9th, 2009 | By: Daryl | No Comments »

With several first team players missing Stuart Pearce’s England Under-21s team of boy-men thrashed Azerbaijan’s youngsters 7-0 at MK Don’s stadium (the rather unhelpfully titled stadium:mk) on Monday.
Apparently it was a bit of a stroll, with Peterborough keeper Joe Lewis even getting a runout up front, although Pearce claims he wasn’t taking the pea-eye-double-ess:
“That was [...]

England U-21 2-1 Slovenia U-21

August 20th, 2008 | By: Daryl | No Comments »

That’s a lot of two and ones in a title. A pretty strong looking England under 21 teams went one down to Slovenia, but came back with a header/toe poke combo from Micah Richards and a nice strike from James Milner (who’s another one I wouldn’t mind seeing in the senior squad.)
Gabby Agbonlahor – he [...]

Theo Walcott, Gabi Agbonlahor and Micah Richards Dumped Back into England Under-21 Squad

August 14th, 2008 | By: Daryl | 3 Comments »

Stuart Pearce’s Under 21 squad has been named for the game against Slovenia on Tuesday. Big(ish) news is that senior team hopefuls Theo Walcott and Gabi Agbonlahor are involved, which is probably a bit of a blow to them. I’d quite like to have seen either of them play for the “proper” team against the [...]

England’s Young ‘Uns Get a Run Out

May 16th, 2008 | By: Daryl | No Comments »

England’s Under 21 team has been wasted in the past. Rather than taking it seriously, it’s basically been a dumping ground for young players who aren’t ready for the senior squad. But seems Capello and Pearce are taking a new approach. Five of the players involved in last night’s 2-0 win over Wales (Joe Hart, [...]
