Going to the England v Italy match in Olomouc on the 24th June. (If I can get a ticket) anyone off here going?

 

 

Unlikely!

 

 

Bound to be loads of tickets, I guess

 

Where is Olomouc?

It's about 3 hours by train from Prague. A lovely town centre with good bars and restaurants. I spent a good part of my last 3 years at Hick's there. Tickets unavailable on the official website.

Probably not on sale yet; they can't imagine why people would want them

We are a million miles from producing a decent international team at any level, my view is the players our clubs seem to select at junior level are usually quick,strong and natural athletes, but clever, slower smaller and less powerful players are overlooked by coaches and in amongst these discarded lads there are hidden gems, other nations recognise that but we don't seem to. Lots of the lads with natural talent athletically don't improve and just rely on their natural ability, there needs to be more hard work done by clubs re-looking at discarded lads to see if any have been overlooked.

Seeing the excuse tonight on Twitter is that they earn too much and can't be arsed.

 

I hate that every time it's rolled out, it's bollocks.

Or the old over hyped shite. England are hyped by absolutely no one. And haven't been since 2006.

 

A caller on five five tonight came up with an interesting fact. Italy's team had about 270 Serie A appearances amongst them this season. England had about 130 appearances amongst theirs. I think that's hinting at the main problem. Far too many foreigners blocking the path of young English players. Having the likes of Sanchez, Hazard and Aguero playing in the league will of course benefit young English lads. But there is far too much foreign averageness in the premier league preventing them from getting their chance.

 

I wonder whether Vela was anywhere near Southgates thoughts for this tournament?

I was wondering about Zac Clough, watching that sorry display. He's not too old, is he ? But then he was injured last season. Edited by Rembrandt

And yet too many English young players seem to stop developing when they get into a club's 1st team. As if higher quality playing levels will come automatically without their hard work & effort. IMO

Zac Clough exactly the type of player who should be considered, but as you say the injury put pay to his chances, if he starts brightly this season I wonder if Southgate would call him up, he is the type of specialist player a game changer who can produce something in a tight game that wins you the match and most International teams have at least one in there midst.

It would have been a different story with Barkley,Wilshire,sterling and co in the team.

 

They all should have been there getting tournament experience.

 

Correct.

I said the same a while ago.

 

Our U-21 championship squad should have been the best eligible players, not what was left after a load had gone playing 1 game for the national team.

This is the problem....you would all be moaning when Ross gets injured or is absolutely fucked by xmas. Quick term fix that.

 

This is Ross' first summer off in 3 years. Last season showed that he needs a break away from the pressure.
