UEFA European Under-21 Championship 2015

I thought Italy were the best team in the competition, even though they didn't make the semi-finals. Anyway it's Germany-Portugal and the Scandinavian derby of Denmark-Sweden on Saturday with the winners meeting in the final on Tuesday.

It's all very well sniggering, but England didn't play their strongest team. Where was Jack Wilshere? Where was Raheem Sterling? Where was Ross Barkley? Where was Phil Jones? So here's a serious question - if England don't play their best players what should we actually expect to happen?

The favourites Germany have been beaten 5-0 by Portugal. It's Germany's biggest ever defeat in an U-21 game.The other semi-final saw an upset too as Sweden beat Denmark 4-1.

Apologies everyone for sniggering. Won't let it happen again now I've been told off. Jeez lighten up ffs

Oxlade-Chamberlain should have been there I think. But there were plenty who could have been that weren't, such as Zaha, Shaw and Chambers. It didn't help that Berahino was injured and Stones missed the first 2 games through injury, so England were without pretty much a whole team.

Sweden won the European Under-21 Championship title with a penalty shootout victory over Portugal following a goalless draw.
