Where does it end? There’s just a clamour for more and more access and to be able to offer the ‘next’ thing.

In 10 years time you’ll be able to switch to a player’s house on a match day morning and watch him have a shit and brush his teeth, all whilst he’s being interviewed by some bird asking him what he’s going to have for breakfast.

I reckon cameras on every player so you can get their view would be good for goals and crunching tackles / fouls. I really couldn't give a shit about the stuff off the pitch. Tried a few of those fly on the wall documentaries and haven't made it past an hour or so.

Has there been any changes to the game recently that's improved it. Leave it alone, FGS.

Goalkeepers being punished for time wasting by giving away a corner is a good new thing, I'd be even more strict with them, them falling to the ground hen they catch the ball is annoying and should be classed as like a dive, even knowing why they do it.

They tried all that 20 years ago with Player Cam on Sky. Amazed it hasn’t made a return tbh.

Where I’m at and imagine most over 40 are.

Tommy Tootal needs to look at the U21’s tonight and promote Livramento and Anderson rather than Walker and Henderson.

Probably supporting Germany anyway.

Mad he's gone back Henderson but Tall Tommeh loves tedious slow football so he's well suited. I'm fully expecting a Hodgson Brazil 2014 world cup. Utter dog shite.

I was pretty open minded when he came in.

Must admit I'm dreading the whole shit show now. Especially after seeing the conditions in US during this silly comp.

It was 40c in parts of US yesterday.

Imagine our lot there after a full season plus the lads in this comp.

Theyll be fucked.

My eldest went to school with the German centre back who’s playing in the u21 final tonight, Bright Arry-Mbi, who was on Chelsea’s books at the time.  He played against him at middle school (aged 12/13) and he was like a fully grown man even then.  We don’t get many making the grade from this neck of the woods.

They’re playing without any fear.

Who would have thought it?

[MancWanderer]

Good game this. Wish the grown ups were as interesting to watch 

[Tonge moor green jacket]

A question for you all.

If this England u21 team were actually a league side, what level would they be playing at?

[Lt. Aldo Raine]

Top half Championship

I’ve not been following much of it but I’m  impressed so far tonight. Mcatte is class, definitely runs in the family! 
 

Where do the rest of them play and are they regulars? 

[Lt. Aldo Raine]

Stanfield's not up to it imo

[Tonge moor green jacket]

Boooo.

 

[Stig]

Been pretty impressed by this England u21 team but they are lacking a proper striker. Are we just not producing them anymore? Seems about 4 number 10s on the pitch

Liam Delap would be playing if he hadn't have dropped out

Ah good point. He'd have made a big difference 

[Tonge moor green jacket]

Watched last few minutes of the 1st half, and much of the second.

Wouldn't put them top end championship. 

Odd individual of course, but not overall.

Top half, not top end
