INTERNATIONALS: SOLANKE DOUBLE IN YOUNG ENGLAND WIN

Posted on: Mon 12 May 2014


Chelsea Academy forwards Izzy Brown and Dominic Solanke both started for
the England Under-17s this morning [Monday], as John Peacock's side
recorded their second win in two group games at the European Under-17
Championship.


Solanke scored twice as England strengthened their chances of making the
semi-finals with a 4-1 victory over Turkey.


Brown returned to the side after missing the opening win over Malta
through suspension and began on the left flank, while schoolboy striker
Solanke, the squad's youngest outfield player, continued in a no.10 role
just behind the striker.


The young Three Lions started brightly and Brown saw an effort blocked
well, before they fell behind after a quarter of an hour. However, parity
was quickly restored as Solanke added to his five goals in qualification
with the equaliser, finishing neatly with his left foot on the turn after
a great run down the right by centre-back Joe Gomez.


Turkey found themselves down to 10 men on the stroke of half-time and
England went ahead nine minutes after the restart as Solanke was on hand
again from close range, showing wonderful composure to adjust his feet and
finish beyond the goalkeeper from eight yards out. It was the striker's
29th goal of an outstanding campaign for club and country.


Brown also caused problems, testing the Turkish goalkeeper on numerous
occasions as England capitalised on their numerical advantage and added
further goals through Everton defender Jonjoe Kenny and Newcastle striker
Adam Armstrong. Solanke was withdrawn with 15 minutes remaining, with
England 4-1 up and his job comprehensively done, while Brown completed 90
minutes.


England's place in the semi-finals will be confirmed later this afternoon
unless hosts Malta beat Netherlands in the other Group A encounter. The
team's final group game takes place on Thursday against Netherlands.

BROWN FEATURES IN YOUNG ENGLAND LOSS

Posted on: Thu 15 May 2014


Izzy Brown played the whole of England Under-17's 2-0 loss to the
Netherlands today (Thursday) in their final group game of the Under-17
European Championships. Dominic Solanke, who netted twice in England's 4-1
victory over Turkey on Monday, was an unused substitute.


Both teams had already qualified for the semi-final stage so the result
determined that the Netherlands will finish top of the group. England are
likely to face Portugal in the last four.


Brown started up front but moved to a wide left position midway through
the second period as England sought to reverse a goal deficit, given to
the Netherlands by a stunning long-range strike from central defender
Calvin Verdonk.


Despite attacking changes from manager John Peacock, who had made seven
pre-match alterations from the team that beat Turkey earlier in the week,
it was the Netherlands who got the game's crucial second goal with 12
minutes remaining through Dani van der Moot. They were able to see the
game out in relative comfort although it took a brave stop from the Dutch
keeper to deny Brown as he hared down on goal.


The other group's final games are later today with Portugal and Scotland
in prime position to qualify. England's youngster will play the top-placed
team in a semi-final on Sunday.

SOLANKE SCORES FOR FINAL-BOUND YOUNG ENGLAND

Posted on: Sun 18 May 2014


Chelsea Academy striker Dominic Solanke netted his third goal of the
European Under-17s Championship finals as England beat Portugal 2-0 in
Sunday's semi-final.


Both Solanke and Izzy Brown played the full game as the young England side
bounced back from defeat in their final group game against Netherlands,
and they will now contest Wednesday's final against the Dutch who beat
Scotland 5-0 in the other semi.


Sixteen-year-old Solanke, who scored twice in Chelsea's FA Youth Cup final
win earlier in the month, opened the England scoring in Malta on 52
minutes, controlling and finishing in style from a pass over the top of
the defence. He had begun the match in a wide position but moved to
centre-forward in the first half when Newcastle United's Adam Armstrong
went off injured.


Fulham's Patrick Roberts, who also scored the FA Youth Cup final, doubled
the advantage on 72 minutes against a Portuguese side who hit woodwork
three times in the first half.


England coach John Peacock made seven changes to his team selection from
the Dutch defeat, reverting to the one that beat Turkey 4-1 in the second
group game. They beat hosts Malta 3-0 in the opener.


England have won this competition once since it became for Under-17 sides
in 2002. That was in 2010 with a side containing Josh McEachran and
Nathaniel Chalobah.

INTERNATIONALS: CHALOBAH HELPS YOUNG ENGLAND EXTEND LEAD

Posted on: Mon 19 May 2014


Nathaniel Chalobah played the full game as England Under-21s beat Wales
U21s to close in on a place in the qualification play-offs for the 2015
European Championships.


The result in Swansea was 3-1 with Norwich's Nathan Redmond scoring all of
England's goals. Wales equalised two minutes after the 18th-minute opener
but Gareth Southgate's side were back ahead by the break and completed the
scoring in stoppage time at the end of the game.


Josh McEachran was not involved but Chalobah, who has been on loan at
Middlesbrough, played in a midfield role.


Having won seven and drawn one of their qualifiers, England with two group
games left to play have a nine-point lead over Moldova who have three
games left, but their far inferior goal difference makes England firm
favourites to progress to the play-off stage.


The squad coached by Southgate with Steve Holland as his assistant now
travel to southern France to take part in the Toulon Tournament, where
they will play in a group stage against Under-21 teams from Brazil,
Colombia, South Korea and Qatar, who they face in their first game on
Thursday.

當我漫遊在斯坦弗森林時，我看見了雀爾西，米爾斯的女兒，在傍晚初升的明月中，
在泰晤士河旁一處林地空間上翩然舞蹈。所有痛苦的記憶都離開了我，我像落入迷離
幻境中一般，因為雀爾西是伊露維塔兒女中最美的一位。她身上那襲藍色的衣裳宛如
萬里無雲的晴空，她灰色的眼睛像是傍晚群星閃爍的天空；她的斗篷上繡著金色的花
朵，她的頭髮漆黑如暮色中的陰影。她的榮光與美好，就像樹葉上的光芒，像是潺潺
流水，像是這迷離世界上方閃爍的繁星；她臉上有閃亮的光輝。
