England MU17s got off to a winning start in their UEFA U17 EURO elite qualifying round group, after beating Denmark by 3-1 in Katwijk.
On a wet and windy evening at the home of Quick Boys FC, Ryan Garry’s team made no mistake in their opening game thanks to a first-half double from Arsenal’s Ethan Nwaneri and a second-half strike from Manchester City’s Justin Oboavwoduo.
The Young Lions started on the front foot with a high press and work rate and it paid dividends as they opened the scoring after just less than ten minutes with Oboavwoduo setting up Nwaneri for the first goal.
And Nwaneri got his second of the night just before the half-hour mark after Tyler Dibling provided the assist.
The second half was only three minutes old when Oboavwoduo made it 3-0, with a great finish into the bottom left-hand corner after Nwaneri had turned provider.

Two goals and an assist for Nwaneri. Is there anywhere we can watch the highlights? I'll do some digging.
Also, Nwaneri hasn't signed a deal yet and there have been rumours that the chavs and City have been turning his head. Hopefully he looks at what that idiot Hutchinson did and where it's got him.

The Jesus YouTube series is quite good. Had no idea he kept playing after the injury and only really realised there was a problem when his knee started to swell up after he was subbed off.

He definitely had it at Arsenal and then went to the World Cup and obviously what happened, happened.Can’t blame Brazil, he was just desperate to play.

In my time watching football, one thing that stands out with Brazilian football for me is their absolute desire to represent their country and win a World Cup. Yes, all footballers you could say have the same dream.
With Brazil though, it’s almost imprinted from a young age, the heroism of previous legends who have done it. Some footballers seek a long and distinguished club career. However with Brazilian players, it’s almost country first. Club second. Some of them would do anything to be on that stage, and I am guessing this win at all costs approach also factored into Jesus’ injury.

Another brace for Nwaneri in the U17 English side. I believe he's the youngest player in their side too. Hopefully we sign him up ASAP.

ESR with a goal and 65 minutes under his belt for England u21s.
His timing of running into the box has always given me Ramsey vibes.

Went half troppo at the ref in the post-match interview, and rightly so.

Yes I listened to that and he did well to keep his emotions in check. It was nil nil at that point. A clear and blatant penalty and possibly a red card given it was studs into his ankle. Would have changed the game. Their manager teed off as well.

Bukayo Saka's development as a golden talent for Arsenal and England is moving at such a rapid rate that special moments no longer come as any surprise.
The 21-year-old confirmed his growing stature as a jewel in England's crown by playing a key role in the space of three minutes to set up the 2-0 victory against Ukraine that gave them maximum points from their first two Euro 2024 qualifiers.
England had laboured for 37 minutes in the face of a well-organised Ukraine, with Saka the shining light and biggest hope of a breakthrough as he gave Everton left-back Vitalii Mykolenko a torrid time.
Saka duly delivered with an inviting cross that deflected to Harry Kane at the far post for his 55th goal for England, adding to the all-time record he set in the 2-1 opening qualifying win against Italy in Naples.
The high point of a game that was routine in its outcome, and efficient in its performance, came three minutes later as Saka once again illuminated the international stage.
He cut in off the right flank before curling a left-foot shot of quality and precision into the top corner, beyond the outstretched grasp of Ukraine keeper Anatoliy Trubin.
And that, effectively, was that. Job done.
Saka is now one of England's young indispensable talents alongside Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice - a trio that manager Gareth Southgate will, barring accidents, count on until Euro 2024 at the very least.
He is a world-class player in the making. Indeed some might say, with justification, that he is already at that rarified level.
Arsenal's youngster had an excellent World Cup in Qatar and has been scintillating in the Gunners' thrilling pursuit of a first Premier League title since 2004.
Saka looks perfectly at home at any level and the good news for club and country is that his progress shows no sign of slowing down. Indeed, such is his ability and dedication he will only get better.
This was his eighth goal for England, proof positive that he is not only a creator but a scorer. He is no longer an unknown quantity to international defences but he has the talent to find ways to make his impact and he did it again here.
Saka's work-rate is tireless, his team ethic exemplary and any attempts to use the physical side of the game to disrupt him are simply shrugged off.
He was the star of this England show, ensuring manager Southgate of the start to the qualifiers he would have craved before this international break.

Oh look, it’s the totnum managerial position.
I laugh everytime I see this quote. The ****ing irony of that bloke doing nothing but complain and moan in his brief but very entertaining tenure.
