England begin their U20 World Cup campaign against Tunisia later today.
The Young Lions have seen their preparations severely impacted by a number of clubs refusing to allow many of their bigger name players join up with Ian Foster’s squad right away.
Still, England’s youth teams have been a story of success in recent years.
Winners of this particular tournament in 2017, even some of the outside noise will do little to downplay the optimism in the English ranks. They have simply come too far to allow that to happen.
Up against Tunisia later today, Foster will be confident of a promising start in Argentina. Winning this tournament, given its location, would perhaps be the biggest statement the youth teams have made yet.
