All the youth age groups are very good but there seems to be various issues with selections from what I've been hearing and reading over the past year or so. There is a very wide pool of players and all sorts of politics going on right now. What I do know is that the biggest group coming through is right now almost at the end of what in Spain they call the "Benjamín" age group which incredibly the 7 to 8 year olds. I'm hearing unbelievable stories of some absolutely fantastic kids coming through, stuff that is very similar to those that have been and are famously retiring over the past three to four years and presently. These things aren't taken seriously in the matter of winning in Spain although they have a very rich history in the youth levels both on the continental and world scene. They're more observatory and tactical for the future although it's quite difficult to explain what I mean. Take for example watching youth football in Spain doesn't have the vitriol it has for example here in the UK. They don't see it in the same manner which means it's difficult to say exactly how good these kids are unless they're already playing first team football for their respective clubs which then obviously makes things a lot easier to analyse.

Spain were beaten today 2-1 by Belgium in the quarter finals. Netherlands played Ireland later for a place in the Semi final.
Administrator Stan Posted May 14, 2018 Administrator Posted May 14, 2018 wow that's incredibly harsh from the ref.

Danny Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 What an absolute cunt that ref is, the most laughable yellow card in the world. An u17's game ffs too, not even an adults game!
DeadLinesman Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 Wouldn't mind but the other keeper did EXACTLY the same thing and got a warning. Zero consistency from referees yet again.

Italy look at these tournaments in a different light to most countries in Europe. They are tactically aware at a very young age while other countries are searching to ascertain what que quality coming through is like. obviously when you're in a final, you want to win it. But win or lose this Netherlands aside is by a hundred miles the best quality in this age group anywhere in Europe.

There’s no doubt the home sides would rather give these kids a chance than spend stupid money elswhere mixed with a few shrewd foreign signings others don't detect.
Administrator Stan Posted May 20, 2018 Administrator Posted May 20, 2018 Netherlands just taken the lead through a very fortunate deflected shot. Looped over the Italian keeper after taking the deflection. Nevertheless, 1-0. Good play in the build up.
Administrator Stan Posted May 20, 2018 Administrator Posted May 20, 2018 1-1! Long range effort scored by Ricci. Decent hit.
