Seems odd to be playing Venezuela in the final. Of all the South American countries, I don't think I can remember the senior team ever even qualifying for the WC finals.

Druing commentary they did say that football isn't their main sport, it's baseball so it is unusual for them to have a strong side

Brilliant by Woodman. I think video reviews for penalties should be introduced now. Didn't really hold up the game at all and it was potentially a game changing decision

Wonderfully mature performance by England. With the Venezuela freekick hitting the post and the saved penalty, it was always going to be our day.

A great moment in England football history

Well done to England and fair play.

Word of warning - Ireland came 3rd in this in 1997 (and then the following year won both the European u16's and u18's). Most of those players went on to QUALIFY for one major tournament as seniors!
