I always take youth reports with a prince of salt (as much as I enjoy the work you put in) for reasons hinted at above:
players with potential can end up at weston-super-mare while superstars of tomorrow can so easily have their journeys diverted or paused - if that is what has happened.

Regarding the Wales result, the one comment I saw was that the Dutch had a basketball size centre forward and I wonder if that changed how the game was played. Does 0 shots sound hopeful? No and yet again we are looking to see if we squeeze into the next round.

Still youth football is being recognised as vitally important around the world and I am glad we seem to have seen this and made what look like good moves while a few nations have let it slip them by, for example the US team seems to be heavily criticised for the youth set-up since failing to make the world cup.
