England U21s on Brink of Euro Glory as They Face Spain in Final
England’s U21 national team is just one win away from glory as they prepare to face Spain in the final of the Euro U21 Championships this weekend. The Young Lions have been in sensational form throughout the tournament, winning all five of their games without conceding a single goal.
In their most recent match, Lee Carsley’s side secured a convincing 3-0 victory over Israel, becoming the first England team to reach the U21 final since 2009. However, their ultimate challenge awaits them in the form of five-time winners Spain, who will undoubtedly provide a tough test for the Young Lions.
The final is scheduled to take place on Saturday, July 8 at the Adjarabet Arena in Georgia, with kick-off set for 5pm UK time. While UK broadcasters initially did not show coverage of the tournament, the final will now be broadcast live on Channel 4, with coverage expected to begin at 4:45pm. For those who prefer radio coverage, talkSPORT will be broadcasting the final, providing live commentary for fans to enjoy. Alex Crook and former England youth international Darren Ambrose will be on hand to provide expert analysis.
Aston Villa star Jacob Ramsey will unfortunately be missing from the England squad due to an injury sustained during the quarter-final win over Portugal.
