Fletcher taken off at HT.
U17s European Championships

Harrison on. Seen several England matches and I'd have him in the team over Fletcher every time. Dont think Fletcher is doing enough and doesnt offer enough defensively for the position he's playing
With United, playing behind the striker he's fine and he does track back a bit. He just doesnt win the ball much

Dipepa & Olusesi on.
Feels like the four teams who played today are all better than any of the teams in yesterday’s QFs. Guess that’s what you get when the group stage draws are what they are.
Nice free kick from Nwaneri.
Good goalkeeping there from the Italy keeper.
Rough day for Smith-Rowe, really. Sesko might be coming to push Havertz back to #8 more and Nwaneri looks a cut above everyone else at this level. I'm guessing he moves to a mid-table side by August.
Mikey Moore is relentless. Longoni keeping Italy in the game at the moment.
He’s done at Arsenal regardless of who they sign or who’s coming through.
Was just thinking he's got a bit of the Garnachos about him
Agree. Direct, aggressive, likes to take on a defender. For his age he seems a bit more composed and able to spot teammates. Of course that also has to do with the difference in the level they’re currently playing at, but still.
Rigg has to put that away. Longoni with a PotM performance so far. What a ball from Moore.
Amass coming on for Rigg. Hope he’s good at penalties.
Such a good knockout game. Two good teams going at it, both having their own periods when they dominate, both have created a decent amount of chances. England would probably deserve to go through because of the second half.
Good stuff from Amass.
Off the line, Italy hanging on to the draw.
So many opportunities for England in the last 10 minutes or so. Looks like we’ll go to penalties.
Dipepa uses his body well, like what I’ve seen from him in this tournament. Plays pretty similarly to how he plays at Port Vale, plays to his strengths and is stronger physically than he looks.
Yes H! Whatmuff will save one, been so close twice already.
Italy go through to the semis against Denmark.
Italy win 5-4 on pens.
Perfect penalties from Italy.

Those penalties were ridiculous from both teams to be far. Even the one we missed was pretty decent
England pay for unconvincing finishing other than the Nwaneri goal.
Best team lost 
Absolutely, should’ve killed the game in the last ten minutes.
A final midweek at 6:30. Brilliant...
7:30 Portuguese time.
Italy have won the tournament after beating Portugal 3-0 in the final.
England should have hammered Italy.
