These kids are playing for Barcelona and the like, it's a massive difference.

I'll be interested in watching Johnathan David against Belgium tonight......I always thought he was a better version of Antonio and more suited to Moyes type of play .... unlike Scallywag...who is a good player but not suited to our tactics

Of course. But they were given the chance at Barcelona and took it. Williams had the same chance at Bilbao. In Spain they haven’t got the ridiculous U21 league we’re stuck with. They get the chance of playing proper football early in their careers in their own club’s B team.

I’ll bet you a lot of money that had they been English they would probably still be thrashing around against other U21 sides. Why has Bellingham developed so early? Some would say because he is playing competitive football at a decent level.

Not having his finest game tonight. Seems to be trying to prove he’s an Antonio clone rather than a new, improved version. ;)

Shame, because if Canada had a bit more up top they would be in front tonight.

Watching Canada tonight was like watching us!

They deserved something from that game, and definitely should have had a 2nd penalty

If I was to compare us to one of the World Cup Teams,it wouldn't be Canada..Probably Wales..Dreadful in the first half and then start to trying to get something in the last 10 minutes. ;)
