    Spanked 3-0 in the end, don’t hold out much hope for this group

    A steep learning curve for the pampered Premier league academy boys.

    Disastrous start although with 8 of the 12 third placed teams going through, we probably only need 1 win to qualify, which we should get in the next game v Haiti.

    Saw the second half so didn't see our earlier chances. I did see a pretty decent Venezuela side. Didn't give England any room and when they won the ball back some classy moves to get through England's defence. Though at this level defending is not as organised, that comes with more experience. 

    I looked online but can't see if itv are bothering with any of the other games. Not even the next England game on Friday.

    After a dreadful start to the group, England progress as group runners up after beating Haiti 8-1 and Egypt 3-0.

    Group B was quite bizarre. Japan won the group after only scoring 4 goals in 3 games and drawing with New Caledonia. Portugal were runners up despite scoring 13 goals, and Morocco finished 3rd but scored 16 goals!

    Looks like we play South Korea in the next round.

    Has anyone been watching the games? I noticed Chizaram Ezenwata started up front for England. He was previously part of our academy and I wondered how he’s looked. I remember he was fairly highly rated a while back.

    I watched the last half hour yesterday on https://www.plus.fifa.com/en/?gl=gb England were already 2 0 up but not getting it their own way ... and then there was a brilliant individual goal to finish off Egypt 3 0.

    He scored a hat trick after coming on as a sub v Haiti. You're right he is pretty highly rated and he scores a lot for Chelsea U18s.

    I believe they have games today so we will play another 2nd placed team based on finishing positions so nothing decided yet
