Can't remember the last England squad that had so much experience across it. In with a really good chance of winning this I think...

Image

Everyone in bold has played 10+ games in a top-5 European league.

Others have played 25+ Championship games.

Some players there have played for top 6 sides (in UK) or played in European competition, too, which is great (aware some have been called up for England Nations League squad though).

Pretty much Everton as the spine of the team again then. Hardly surprising. 

Think you've missed someone else off who have more players in this squad.

Goalkeepers: Emil Audero (Sampdoria), Alex Meret (Napoli), Lorenzo Montipo (Benevento)

Defenders: Claud Adjapong (Sassuolo), Alessandro Bastoni (Parma), Kevin Bonifazi (SPAL), Arturo Calabresi (Bologna), Federico Dimarco (Parma), Gianluca Mancini (Atalanta), Giuseppe Pezzella (Genoa), Filippo Romagna (Cagliari)

Midfielders: Nicolo Barella (Cagliari), Manuel Locatelli (Sassuolo), Rolando Mandragora (Udinese), Alessandro Murgia (SPAL), Lorenzo Pellegrini (Roma), Sandro Tonali (Brescia), Nicolo Zaniolo (Roma)

Forwards: Federico Chiesa (Fiorentina), Patrick Cutrone (Milan), Moise Kean (Juventus), Riccardo Orsolini (Bologna), Andrea Pinamonti (Frosinone)

Breaking the stereotype, Italy look far better in the attacking positions in the squad.

For those not familiar with Serie A, Barella and Zaniolo will be the players to watch.

Fantastic response from Italy's under 21s tonight. Going a goal down, and what a goal it was, and overrun by Spain for the first half hour.

Then took control of the game and came away with an impressive 3-1 victory. Chiesa was sensational. Fiorentina have got to keep hold of him.

That touch from Chiesa, oh my fucking word...

Serbia vs Austria at 18:30CET and Germany vs Denmark at 21:00CET today.

A tough match for Austria. Expected starting XI: Schlager; Ingolitsch, Posch, Danso, Ullmann; Ljubic, Lienhart; Wolf, Schlager, Honsak; Kalajdzic. Hope Friedl gets some playing time.

A strong squad; definitely has the potential to defend the title. Midfield looks very strong in particular...

This is the german squad.

Speaking from an individual class stand point this has to be the worst U21 squad Germany has had in the last 20 year or so, except for that tournament in Isreal a couple of years ago maybe when our A team was playing test games for Löw and our B team was mainly injured.

Red card for Jovanovic and Hannes Wolf has to be stretchered off after suffering an awful injury :( That's surely the end of the tournament for him...

 

 

And Horvath makes it 2-0 from a free kick!!!

Broken ankle :( The ref didn't even see a foul there initially before VAR intervened again... Hope the fracture is not too complicated and he'll recover well. A huge loss for Austria.

A very important win for Austria against Serbia who were favourites for the win (and some even consider them title contenders); too bad they wasted too many good chances though. Hopefully this won't come back to bite them in the arse if goal difference decides the outcome of this group... Schlager alone could (should?) have scored at least twice. Sascha Horvath definitely my MotM; great game by him and the whole Austrian team. Very solid at the back and dangerous going forward too.

Should have tried 4-4-2 instead imo. Denmark is too strong. We will produce too many forced errors. The possession is no good if we can't get into their box.

Judging by the first 17 minutes, your post is spot on...
