Not seen it posted elsewhere but this is starting next week with some Claret interest-

Ameen Al-Dakhil has been named in Belgium's squad, presumably joining after the seniors finish

Jordan Beyer hasn't been named in the final Germany squad due to injury

Really enjoyed the u21s when it was here in 2015. Had a great time following them around the country without the more lairy elements of England support to spoil it

Tournament starts today but it seems that BBC,Sky or BT haven’t picked it up.It will be available to watch on UEFA.tv

That link is from 2021 giveusaB, there is no deal in place with any UK broadcaster for this year's tournament.

However all games can be viewed for free via https://www.uefa.tv/competition/U-21

This will be the first under 21 tournament where all players will have been born in the 21st century.

Ameen Al Dakhil on the bench for Belgium despite coming on for the senior side last night! Ian Maatsen on the opposite bench. Kick off at 5PM

England kick off against Czech Republic at 17:00 - https://www.uefa.tv/match/live/243074/2036124

THB starts centre back for England.

THB captain . And the goalkeeper is Trafford who we are linked with from Man City

claretburns · Post by **claretburns** » Thu Jun 22, 2023 5:06 pm

Madueke hits the bar from edge of area, started lively.

claretburns · Post by **claretburns** » Thu Jun 22, 2023 5:06 pm

Czech's through one on one, good save from Trafford.

claretgoss · Post by **claretgoss** » Thu Jun 22, 2023 5:11 pm

Looks a very strong team on paper. Have the potential to go a long way

Hedontplayforyou · Post by **Hedontplayforyou** » Thu Jun 22, 2023 5:16 pm

Dodgy pass from Trafford almost cost a goal

Players like Cameron Archer, Tommy Doyle, Harvey Elliott, Cole Palmer & Emile Smith-Rowe on the bench as well, a strong squad.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Thu Jun 22, 2023 5:17 pm

Decent game to watch, first 15 mins.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Thu Jun 22, 2023 5:21 pm

Phew.
2nd good Cze chance missed!

claretburns · Post by **claretburns** » Thu Jun 22, 2023 5:23 pm

Difficult to judge though despite our squad how strong we'll be in the tournament and how seriously we'll take it, in 2019 we had the following players in the squad and lost two and drew 1 to go out in the group stage with 1 point:

Dean Henderson
Aaran Wan-Bissaka
Fikayo Tomori
Demarai Gray
James Maddison
Phil Foden
Harvey Barnes
Mason Mount
Dominic Calvert-Lewin
Morgan Gibbs-White
Reiss Nelson
Tammy Abraham

Game could already be 2-2, an entertaining start.

Israel leading Germany 1-0 in the other game in our group.

Last night saw Georgia beat Portugal 2-0 as well.

claretburns · Post by **claretburns** » Thu Jun 22, 2023 5:28 pm

Yousaffa Moukoko, highly likely to be tournament golden boot winner, equalises for Germany against Israel.

Israel finished third in the Under-20 World Cup a couple of weeks ago too, knocking out Brazil along the way. Seem to have a good set up at youth levels

claretburns · Post by **claretburns** » Thu Jun 22, 2023 5:34 pm

Would be looking at Ben Johnson for James Garner at half time, balance of the team doesn't look right with Garner at right back.

Also maybe Archer for Gordon up front.

Unbelievable team. Remember watching the tournament thinking we’d win it

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Thu Jun 22, 2023 5:49 pm

Very entertaining game.
Not a great deal in it though, you'd probably say the Cze lads were perhaps slightly ahead on points.

claretburns · Post by **claretburns** » Thu Jun 22, 2023 5:49 pm

Half Time 0-0.

Not fantastic football, but some excellent chances for both teams, been entertaining so far.

oh yeah and it's 1-0 England

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Thu Jun 22, 2023 7:08 pm

England currently 0-0 with Israel after 13 minutes - https://www.uefa.tv/match/live/243077/2036135

If anyone needs a football fix.

claretburns · Post by **claretburns** » Sun Jun 25, 2023 5:17 pm

England lead 1-0, Gibbs-White through down the left, good cross and headed home by Gordon.

Interesting watching this tournament, plenty if really good players in what seems to be our market

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sun Jun 25, 2023 6:56 pm

good win, 2-0

claretburns · Post by **claretburns** » Sun Jun 25, 2023 7:20 pm

Czech Rep. beating Germany 2-1 in the other group game means we will win the group and are through to Quarter Finals, final group game against Germany means nothing now, for us anyway.

bfcmik · Post by **bfcmik** » Sun Jun 25, 2023 8:41 pm

England have now won the group as H2H result is the decider. So, even should we lose against the Germans our win v Czech keeps them 2nd should they beat Israel

No Jordan Beyer in Germany squad. Has he gone over age or is he injured?

Borussia fans said he was injury prone and hardly available but he didn't do too badly with us.
