Sky Sports mate.

Ah right nice one!

What's the actual England squad if anybody would be so kind to post it please?

Not too sure it has been finalised as there is that tiff with Wallcot

The host nation in the weaker group, shock horror!

What's the actual England squad if anybody would be so kind to post it please?

Surprised no one is watching this competition but I guess many feel the confederation cup is worth more.

England vs Spain is on now

0-0 34minutes gone, Milner missed a pk

Gabby off hurt, Campbell on

Spain U21 0-2  England U21 R
                     Campbell 67
                     Milner 73
   
Did not watch the game but fair result.

Good goal from Campbell. Was a good match, Spain needs a holding midfielder. Milner was influential as always...

Spain team is pretty poor, they were very lucky not to lose to the German's who outplayed them and today they lost to a much better English side. I wouldn't be too shocked if the Finns beat them, they look a better side.

England have a good chance of winning this then? I haven't really been watching it.

The way it looks England, Italy and Germany look heads above the rest of the sides but today Germany vs England for first place and England need to win or draw to finish top of the group and play either Serbia or Sweden.

May watch this tonight.

Nice one.

It is 1-1 now

Castro scored in the 4th minute for Germany but Rodwell replied off a corner. England though are using a lot of their reserve players in this game have outplayed the German. Driver a winger who I always liked at Hearts is having a good game on the right hand side

May watch this tonight.

Streams are down due to somethng called copyright. Hope this does not continue to the pre-season and on!

1-1 Final, England and Germany through, England as group winners.

That'll do nicely!

Who have England got in the next round or hasn't that been decided yet? I think I may actually start watching it properly now.

When's the final? I'll watch it.
