U19 EURO CHAMPIONSHIPS: FRANCE 1 - SPAIN 0

SPAIN said goodbye to the U19 EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS after
losing 1-0 to FRANCE this afternoon. France deserved to win with
a magnificent first half & comfortable second to go through to the
semi-finals along with its Group partner Serbia who defeated
Turkey 1-0 & finish on top.

Spain was slow, without ideas & didn’t take advantage of the little
chances they had throughout the game. The only goal came from
man of the match BRAHIMI in the 27th min with a brilliant one-two
that ripped the Spanish defence. France could have scored more
had it not been the woodwork & of range shots.

Spain is having a nightmare run in the "junior" levels & will need to

examine closely the cause for this drop of form.

EURO U/19: SPAIN DEFEATS GERMANY 1-0 & QUALIFIES FOR THE EUROS

Good news. The SPANISH U/19 National side needed a point to
qualify for the EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS final phase, & in the
process managed 3 points after defeating GERMANY 1-0 with a
penalty from young Arsenal FC player FRAN MERIDA.















The first half was a cautious affair as both sides were wary of not
allowing the opponent to score a goal. The second half saw Germany
decide to go for a win – as they needed - & they attacked opening
up spaces which allowed Spain to exploit.In one of those incursions
by Spain a penalty was awarded which Merida converted in the 69th
min to put Spain ahead & eventually give his team the victory &
qualification for the "U/19 Euros".

The EURO U/19 Championships will be held in the Ukraine
starting the 21st of July with the Best 8 European U/19 teams
competing for the title – without Germany! The latter may feel
disadvantaged due to the UEFA draw system.

Extra details:

Spain: De Gea; Mario Gaspar, Pulido, Rochela, Morgado; Camacho,
Óscar Sielva; Jordi Pablo, Fran Mérida (Nacho, 90'), Iago Falqué
(Marcos Alonso, 84'); & Joselu.

Germany: Baumann; Funk, Rausch (Jantschke, 43'), Teixeira, Erb,
Wolze, Rudy, Holtby, Kross, Schurrle & Sukuta-Pasu.

Goals: 1-0 (69') Fran Mérida, penalty. Tweet
