The Under 21 Euros are in full spring, with England starting rather poorly with a hard fought 2-1 victory against Finland in a match were Michael Mancienne received a straight red card. Favorites Spain, Italy, Serbia and Germany only managed 1 point each from their opening matches while Sweden cruised to a 5-1 victory over Belarus with guessed Mr. X Marcus Berg bagging three... Now chat away on the rest of the tournament! :)

Even with England comfortably beating a lacklustre Spanish side (with Bojan Krkic substituted early in the second half after a very bad game, maybe he isn't up to the hype after all?) there doesn't seem to be to much interest around here for this tournament!

Anyway, Sweden had a good game against Italy but were edged out by the skilled and battle-hardened Italians who despite a red card on Mario Balotelli in the first half held on to a 2-1 win. Aquafresca (who seems to be interested in joining Fulham on loan, compare that to Di Santo or Davies...) scored one, with Sweden's and PSV's impressive striker Ola Toivonen bagging for Sweden. Martin Olsson played the last 20 minutes on the left wing when Sweden had to get a goal, and he might start either there or at left back in the group's last game where Sweden has to take at least one point against Serbia to go trough.

If this goes to penalties then that's a guaranteed penalty taker who won't be on the pitch.

Latest:

Sweden's Berg just hit the bar.

If there is one more goal in this game, it seems like it's only going to be one side who will get it. We are hanging on for our lives after leading 3-0.

I didn't see the second yellow card, but Campbell didn't deserve his first - well not unless he's meant to disappear. It really is becoming a pansy sport.

Ha, ha, highlighted by Joe Hart getting booked for sledging the Swedish penalty takers. This sport is dying on it's arse.

What the hell is sledging!?!?!

Did he use a wooden one or a plastic one from the offie. :lol:

Giving your opponent verbal abuse in order to put him off. It's rife in cricket.

Very finicky (sp?) ref tonight. Campbell, Agbonlahor and Hart all miss the final through suspension. We only have Walcott as a centre-forward and it's not even his position. And he's been dropped from most games in this tournament!

They used to do sledging in cricket but that's seemed to have stopped in recent years mainly due to them having the microphones by the wickets. Sledging is talking trash and trying to put the opposition player off by doing anything bar physical contact.

Unfortunately for Hart, he received his 2nd yellow card of the tournament and now misses the final along with Campbell and Aggy.
