EUROPEAN U-21 CHAMPIONSHIPS 2009: SPAIN 0 ENGLAND 2

The SPANISH U-21 NATIONAL TEAM went down tonight 0-2 to
ENGLAND in its Group B match. This “virtually” puts the Spaniards
out of the EUROPEAN U-21 Finals being held in Sweden. The
ONLY chance left is if Spain goals Finland in its last Group game
& England defeats Germany in its match.

Spain was nervous & put up a conservative set up that lacked any
action along the wings. Once again Spain’s goalkeeper Asenjo kept
his side in the running until England players CAMPBELL & MILNER
scored twice to knock the wind out of the Spaniards. English player
Walcott was decisive tonight coming on in the 62nd min to beef up
the English attack with his pace.

Disappointing effort from Spain who now look to luck to even think
about the possibility of continuing in the tournament
