[Archived] European Under 21s

[Roverdale]

Based on the fact that Rochina has played for Spain at other levels do we think he might have been in their U21s for this?

If he hadn't dislocated his shoulder?

Would have been nice to take a look at him in a tournament like this.

I thought that Derby keeper for England looked pretty decent...

Frankie played alright didn't have a great deal to do. Wiill be good for him going to derby, it'd be a long wait for him to get into Rovers team.

[Kelbo]

I think Jones will be better than both to be honest. Really he has been utterly sensational, and I don't think that assessment is overly biased. He marked Drogba out of the game on his debut for god's sake and has been our best player on the pitch in the majority of his appearances last season.

That he is a phenomenal talent is backed up by the fact all the top six want him. When was the last time that happened to a young English player? Rooney?

He will be as good if not better than both, Ferdinand has never been a top defender, yes, he can play and can defend, top defender no, Jones is a real defender of the Hendry type but with the added bonus of being able to power through from defence, similar to a certain CB at Barca.

What a goal by Nikolai Jørgensen of Denmark!

[TugaysMarlboro]

Eriksen reminds me of Tin Tin.

[Exiled_Rover]

I've said all along Phil jones will be a very good player but so far has been over rated by rovers fans.

You'd be wrong, but then you often are.

I hope we didnt blow the chance of having a local lad playing for England in the near future.

Shay given all over again

Phil Jones was outstanding.

Pearce has re-enforced his position as one of the very few managers around whom I wouldn't want in preference to Kean,

[Hughesy]

Phil Jones was outstanding.

Apart from a crucial cock-up when the ball bounced and he missed it - do that in the champions league and you will soon be getting dropped.

In the dead rubber games against MSK Zillina that he'll be playing I don't think it will matter.

Looking forward to the Iceland / Denmark game tonight.

[DanielMB]

Yeah that should be a good game. I really like the look of the danish defender Mathias Zanka Jørgensen. Also Icelandic striker Kolbeinn could be an interesting one

[howzat]

What saddo sits in on a sat nite watching denmark u21s play. You lot need to get out more

[chocky]

Is it me or is the commentary slightly ahead of the play?

[DanielMB]

not on danish tv :-)

[RoverMad86]

Is it me or is the commentary slightly ahead of the play?

Yeah about half a second.

Think it's been like that all tournament.

[Tom]

You'd be wrong, but then you often are.

Oh no you di'nt!

And yes it took me 5 days to come up with that reply.

[RoverMad86]

Jones is captain for England.

3 changes to the starting XI.

Must win.

[Grabbi Graeme]

Pearce also saying that he see's Jones as U21 captain next season.

Strange comment, people may just fancy staying in and watching a bit of footy?

Football fans?

After going out last night in Clitheroe I think it's fair to say I'd have rather have watched the game.

Don't blame you mate. I have to live there!

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Frank Fielding is having a great tournament so far. He's been the stand out keeper in all the games i've seen. I know he's signed for Derby now but I bet a lot of teams will be impressed by his performances.

[EWOODACE1]

englands u21's are poor. no creativity whatsoever
