Honey Honey Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 That trophy is a let down. Looks nothing like the world cup.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted June 11, 2017 Subscriber Posted June 11, 2017 Made up with this result, partially for England because that's obviously a great achievement for the boys but mostly for the Everton involvement. Really exciting to see the potential of so many of our young lads, particularly Kenny and Lookman who could be like new signings next season (I know Lookman sort of is) if they can break into the first team. Holgate, Kenny, Davies, Dowell, Lookman, Calvert-Lewin .
Honey Honey Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 It feels a little bit like only Everton fans were watching and no one else even knew the game was on
HK85 Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 Couldn't give a fuck about the national team, just happy for our lads.
Storts Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 Onomah was top drawer, ran the show from the middle of the park. Best player on the pitch today - although Woodman deserved man of the match for his penalty save. Not sure many of this team will go on to the top level to be honest, but great achievement none the less
Honey Honey Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 I think Woodman has earned a first team place on loan at a bottom half Championship club imo. Hope there are takers for him
Lucas Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 Pleased for Lewis Cook. He is just class. Bournemouth robbed us and will reap the benefit now.
Guest Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 Ha, Harv was right. I only reached until minute 30 then I passed out. Hosting a house party until 4:30 am before this wasn't a good idea Shame Venezuela couldn't win but in some ways, they still did given they are historically the whipping boys of South America and now they reached the U20 WC final after years of work. All this talk of the USA being a future football powerhouse when Venezuela has obviously progressed more. I would say England were deserved winners of this tournament though. It's proven that not all English managers are dinosaurs as he's gotten this side to play football I wouldn't imagine for England. While I still think La Vinotinto have better players, I think the better football was played by the 3 lions. Congrats to all of them here.

Danny Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 17 minutes ago, Cannabis said: Forgot you're only allowed to celebrate if the players in question were born within a mile radius of the home ground. We've scouted Calvert-Lewin and Lookman before they've both turned 20 which our scouting team deserves praise for, despite what you want to believe it's us that will give them the opportunity to become top footballers as they wouldn't have had that at lower league level. Same for Wayne Rooney at United but he's still not one of theirs
Danny Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 16 hours ago, Cannabis said: That's a ridiculous comparison. Rooney spent two years in the top flight with us and was considered at the time the ''next big thing in England''. To compare him in his teenage years to Calvert-Lewin or Lookman is bizarre. It's not really. You can offer more to Lookman or Calvert-Lewis than what their clubs could. Much like United could offer Rooney what you couldn't. It's the same concept
