The Czech vs Engand game today ended 2-0 to the Czechs; both Tomkins and Sears played for England, and for the last 10-20 minutes, the Czechs only had 9 men! What's really annoying is that the game was only carried on ESPNDeportes in Spanish; I don't have that channel, but who the hell thinks that this game would be of interest only to Hispanics????????
It's also hard to get a report of the game; the BBC don't do it, and I only got this info from Soccernet without any actual report of the action.

Many of the the Under-19s matches are available live online at ESPN360.com (matches broadcast in Spanish via ESPN Deportes). UEFA.com also carries a play-by-play for all matches - there's a report posted for the Young Lions match as well - http://www.uefa.com/competitions/under19/index.html.

I had my eye on Sears and Tomkins - Sears made some space for himself and had a few chances on goal, though none all that convincing. England's back line looked weak even with Tomka and their keeper, David Button, was dreadful.
