England would have struggled to compete with France and Croatia this afternoon in the Final of the World Cup. But maybe things are changing as our Youth teams have recorded success in recent history and on this day in July 2017, the U19s were crowned champions of Europe after beating Portugal in Georgia 2-1. Second half goals by Aston Villa's Easah Sulliman and Manchester City's Lucas Nmecha overtook Portugal's lead caused by Dujon Sterling's own goal. Ryan Sessegnon of Fulham was in the squad and he is presently close to being a full international. Check out who "has made it".

A month earlier the U20s won the World Championship in South Korea, beating Venezuela 2-1, the first major football victory since 1966. The team that played that day accounted for 12 Football League games in total! Have a look at the team list and see how many have been given the nod! Lookman, Onomah, Solanke ring bells?
