Uefa 17 championship - europe

[Sven]

Great opening games played yesterday.

France deserving beat Ireland in the last min, from a stunning goal from the lyon starlet Lacozzete.

Serbia winning 2-0 against Scotland, with the biggest talent forward I have seen since Pato, Aleksić what a talent, leading goal scorer in qualifying, what great return on first game.

Scotland 0-2 Serbia
04/05 Grp B France 2-1 Republic of Ireland
04/05 Grp B Spain 2-0 Switzerland
04/05 Grp A Turkey 3-0 Netherlands

really supraised to see Holland loose 3-0 , but home team Turkey are no mugs, not putting it down to Jeffery Bruma not being there but they were horrible at the back.


Javi Garcia had a great start for Spain bagging in two goals as well.


Games are on Europsport, games are only 80 mins long.


players to watch out for ...

France there is too much to mention tbh, They full with gems. but my fav

Gueida Fofana - Le Harve
Gael Kakuta - Chelsea
The three Lyon boys

Alexandre Lacazette
Yannis Tafer
Clement Grenier

Sunu from Arsenal was very dissapointing, I warn you Eurosport really do suck on Arsenal , anything this kid did be it standard was highliy praised, when Kakuta only got one decent comment on night, being highly more dangerous.

Ireland
some england team reprsented

Connor clifford - Chelsea
some united player
and Timmins from Birmingham

Serbia

Danijel Aleksic

Turkey

Batuhan karadeniz - Beskitas

Holland

Rodney Schneider (the borther) - Ajax

Spain - another team of gems,

Marc Muniesa - Barcelona
Daniel Pacheco Liverpool
Thiago Alcantara -Barcelona
Gerardo Bruna - Liverpool

So basically all Barce gems though Bruna I thinkwas from Real, that's just naming a few, Javi Garcia and ruben who only made the bench....

Looking good!

Thanks Sven, keep it coming

[Sven]

Turkey play Scotland at 3 on eurosport today.

With France playing Spain at 6 , which will be a very good game.

[Sven]

watch first half turkey vs scotland.

I said turkey were no mugs, certainly not, there is more then the number 9 to worry about the number 10 Tore Gurkken (sp) on the right side, great feet.

Also the Trukey left back has been very good, great passing and vision. Karayer I believe the name, Trukey booking there way into the semis. 1-0 atm, one more goal should secure it.

[Sven]

Right so the semis are on today- check website for stats uefa.com*-*UEFA European U-17 C'ship

Turkey vs France
Holland vs Spain

Now what two great semis we have.

I expect it to be Turkey vs spain final, Turkey team is very strong, have been my team of the tourniment, but France do have the most talented team left in the tourniment .

And Tafer..... this kid is brillaint, leading goal scorer in the tourniment, kid from Lyon, has been fantastic to watch.

4 Yannis Tafer (FRA)
2 Geoffrey Castillion (NED)
2 Thiago (ESP)
2 Sergi (ESP)
2 Rubén (ESP)
2 Danijel Aleksić (SRB)

Fofana is superb. Always has time and space.

Such drive as well, great passer, he's has been the player of the tourniment.
