That is an absolutely top-class ball. Hits in such a way where the backspin gives Wilson a chance. Wow. I am thoroughly impressed.

Commentary on my river is so inane. Don't sound like they've watched/commentated on much youth football before, can't pronounce Daehli's name, seem keen for us to be outplayed by Benfica so that they can moan about English youth football.

Commentators aren't too bad. Better than hearing Jon Champion bang on about the Manchester Derby being the clash of titans :rolleyes:

Have to say, this youth team has impressed me. Sure those who have watched them regularly can provide more insight. Are displays like these what you lot have mostly seen thus far this season?

Good half from the boys on an unfamiliar surface in an unfamiliar climate. Kudos to Barmby, less selfish today and a real handful as a result.

Heh. You haven't seen anything yet. Januzaj and Pereira are not here.

They're playing significantly under their usual level.

Keeper could have used his feet there.

EDIT: :lol: commentator is loving this. Voice was cracking there.

We seem to be suffering from the heat, here. Sluggish and a bit flustered compared to their usual cool composure.

It's easy to see that the United-players are used to play against opposition who doesnt possess the pace of Sporting.

The commentator who sounds like someone commentating on FIFA95 seems extremely happy every time Sporting scores.

Just for some background, Sporting's youth academy is actually quite good and have been for many years. Arruda mentioned that their first team has problems as they don't have the required quality to really challenge for honors as they used to.
