Look awful. Regardless of the result here - the fact we're completely unable to pass the ball and keep resorting to long lumps is a damning insight into future of England national side.
Terrible - Germans so much better technically |  |

100% agree.
As I often say... England is a team of athletes, Germany is a team of Footballers. |  | | |

Took the lead then resorted to lumping it long. Miles away from being competitive | |

It breaks my heart to see our best players at this age playing like this. Why oh why is Aidy Boothroyd in charge? I think he has trouble passing wind let alone a Football.
This reminds me of the FA youth Cup win over Saints. Best team did not win that day. | | | |

Is it Boothroyd or just the lack of technical players? Doesn't help that all these players never play for their clubs | |

Think they are all capable in possession, and have shown that at times, but there just seems to be a natural English tendency to sit back and go direct when under pressure.
There is a lot of talent in this side, the seniors and the younger age categories, so it's about giving them belief to play a better style of football, because the ability is undoubtedly there. |  | | |

It's their shape and desire in this game. Plenty of game experience out there. several PL regulars, several championship regulars. |  |

The two best teams are in the next semi final. Germany couldn't get near the Italians in the last game or create any chances. Spain and Italy will be a step up in ability and style of play. The commentators were saying collectively the Italian squad has 1000 Serie A appearances between them. Wonder how many our boys have in the Premier League? [Post edited 27 Jun 2017 18:50]

The younger age groups most certainly. It just starts to fall down when the players don't get a chance with their clubs. That experience is invaluable | |

Stats before the game said different. 530 odd top level appearances for England - over double that for Germany | |

There are still a lot of players with experience and game time this season though.
Pickford - PL regular
Mawson - PL regular
Holgate - over 20 games PL/cup last season
Ward-Prowse - PL regular
Baker - dutch league regular
Redmond - PL regular
Abraham, Hughes - full seasons in Championship
Chambers - over 20 games in Championship
There's only a few who haven't had pretty full seasons. | |

Italy were not any better than Germany in their game. Italy got a goal because of a horrible pass by Toljan and Germany didn't try very hard to get a goal since they were through anyway. |  |

If Italy had won 2-0, Germany were out. The Italians were a far superior side, they cut Germany open numerous times and played the superior football. It was only towards the last 15 minutes that they became a little defensive, so not to concede as Italy would've been knocked out then! | |

If it had ended 1-1 Italy would have been out. It was an even and unspectacular game. | |

Look you've got your opinion and I've got mine we won't agree on this, but I reckon the winner of this tournament will be either Spain or Italy. | |

It's almost like Aidy Boothroyd is their manager :p |  |
