I had one eye on the Aus v Peru match and one eye on the England U21's last night.
The Aus v Peru game, not much in it really, fairly tight game as expected. Then on 120minutes the Aussies decide to sub the goalkeeper which was a brave move especially as the sub keeper had just 2 caps before last night. He was dancing, jumping and doing everything possible to put the penalty taker off..he looked a proper wally most of the time but came up trumps in sudden death.
The England U21's, well he rested a lot of players and it showed. Smith Rowe looked like the only one bothered in the first half but it wasn't helped by a truly dreadful start conceding within the first minute. It was IMO a poor crowd of a little over 5k but as someone who supports in England I thought the crowd were an embarrassment. To start off with they were boing the Forest players in the team (Garner & Spence) and then they were singing Town songs. I know it was mainly a young crowd but when you watch England you leave club loyalties at the door. I mean if i can go through all Patrick Bamford's full international career without booing him then sure anybody can, although to be fair i was rolling round laughing at him for most of those 45minutes
