Not too sure about him, has a tendency to crumble under pressure.

Any United lads involved in this tournament?

Felix Passlack has scored for Germany vs Belgium. Apparently he's a big Dortmund talent.

He's the only one in that squad I'd heard of before. And yeah, he's supposed to be the most promising player in Dortmund's academy.

Matchday 1
Group A
Spain vs Austria 1-1
Bulgaria vs Croatia 0-2

Group B
Czech Republic vs Slovenia 1-0
Belgium vs Germany 0-2

Unfortunately i've only seen the Belgium vs Germany match.
Belgium were really good in the first 30 minutes with some good chances. But typical for Germany that they have had two chances and have scored both of them, the 2nd goal from Schmidt was beautiful.
Apparently Dorsch (Big talent from Bayern Munich) has broken his fibula.

It seems that England qualified quite handily for the tournament but some friendly results since then seem really poor. Has there been some experimental teams out?
Yes that is the case.
John Peacock before the start of the Algarve Tournament in February: "We've got quite a few new players here. Most of our best players couldn’t be here for a variety of different reasons and that’s fine as it gives some others a chance to come into the reckoning. From my point of you, this week allows me to get to know some of the players that I don’t know that well and to take a closer look at those I do know a bit about."

Belgium have CB who looks like a mix between Luiz and Puyol.

The nº7 of Belgium is not bad as well

That should have been a penalty for England!!!

England are totally dominating Italy in the last 10 minutes but they're struggling to find the right ideas in front of the goal (A shame that Callum Gribbin isn't in the squad).

FT: Italy vs England 0-1

To start with a win in a tournament is always important but it's even more important in a "Group of Death".
Totally deserved win for the Young Lions with that 2nd half performance.
Some of the players are a joy to watch :drool:
