The best quarry in Europe

The trophy went to the showcases of the English federation and not in Spanish, but above the name of the winner and loser, what this European Under-21 makes clear that, currently, in terms of the lower categories it means , Spain and England They are a step above the other teams from the old continent. because that’s true France Endless footballers with projection appear, but on a collective level the French team does not quite work with the solvency that their individualities herald and reveal. This proves that in this Under-21 European Championship he did not make it past the quarterfinals, a round in which he was knocked out by Ukraineand they also did not qualify for the final stage of the Under-19s played in Malta.

Back to Spain and England, in the case of the teams that met this Saturday in Batumi, the generations of 2000, concluded a series of crosses that lasted over time. In 2017 they saw their faces in the European and the U-17 World Cup. Spain prevailed in the continental tournament and England He did it in the planetarium. What happened this Saturday, six years later, was a tiebreaker for two golden generations. And somehow the equalizer was never recovered as England, although they deserved to win (all things considered), prevailed with a goal that should never have got on the scoreboard.

In this tournament we saw Spanish footballers like Abel Ruiz, Sergio Gómez, Arnau Tenas, Antonio Blanco, Gabri Veiga, Alex Baena, Oihan Sancet and a very long other of names synonymous with talent, and also like English ones Anthony Gordon, Emile Smith-Rowe, James Trafford, Curtis Jones, Levi Colwill, and Morgan Gobbs-White, among others. And we would have seen it Ferran Torres, Phil Foden or Jadon Sancho. They are all from 2000. And the future belongs to them.
