I would imagine it's the free tickets given out to Schools counting in the 8700 and "only" 7754 actually going through the gates tonight.....the missing 946 obviously no-shows.
Very entertaining evening for less than the price of a Pie.
England centre-half (no 15) my pick of the bunch.
Solid performance, cut out many dangerous balls into the area with ease....looked very confident going into challenges and composed when playing the ball out of the area.
Can't wait for the Finals next May......The Ground that hosted the Final in Croatia this year housed 6 or 7 games throughout the Tournament.....Be great for NYS to get the same.
Good entertainment. Solid commitment from both sides.
Both look to have some great youngsters but it’s a ‘will they last the pace and flourish’ time for them.
Some great England players but the motm for me was number 4 with 7 on the right wing and number 3 also putting in great performances.
Very impressed with Germanys number 10 great player.
Very fast paced as would be expected so the tempo kept the fans highly entertained.
Well done to the club for hosting it.
My final words have to be for the groundsmen who was having a duck fit at the German goal keeping coach who was warming up their replacement.
Arms were flying all over the place as the grounds man remonstrated with the German and it didn’t get any better. Grounds man finally blew his top and really let him know ‘No more’ as it was ripping up the goal area. 😄😄😄
Totally understand as we have a big game on Saturday and the last thing we want is a poor playing area.
Apologies......The Croatian Ground that hosted the Final this year had a Semi Final and a Quarter-Final as well, but no Group games......i misread it.
But would still be a great coup for the NYS to get those 3.
Our (rufc) back 4 ought to be made to watch video of game last night,to show them how easy it is to play ball to feet without panicking,excellent performance from them and i would be more confident in them than our lot even at senior level,agree with Brin both our full backs were excellent and No4 in midfield,thought Germanys 2 centre backs were very good aswell, saw more football played last night than our lot have dished up in last month.
