Lee Carsley was plotting this in a Cobham cafe. Ashley Cole, who would become his assistant after one chat, sat enthused. England were going to do things differently. They would be bold, daring. They would make history. Or at least try.
Saturday night, a brilliantly chaotic and confusing evening in the mugginess of Batumi, Georgia, was the end product of that coffee. What Carsley, Cole, Joleon Lescott and FA head of coaching Tim Dittmer have done for the Under 21 team is nothing short of exceptional. This really is a moment in time and should not just be chalked up to having good players.
England always have good players — but the last three weeks have been different. A style, a pride, an identity.
Carsley could walk into any Premier League club and do this given the time and resources. And there's a big job available in a year or two that he could excel in.
But that is for further down the road. Now, as England celebrated in the Sheraton Hotel's ballroom with friends and family, taking in this achievement, thoughts cast towards the horizon. England didn't concede a goal at this tournament. Six clean sheets for James Trafford, a goalkeeper nobody who didn't devour the EFL had heard of until the beginning of May.

Trafford is off to Burnley for £19million. Manchester City, his parent club, tiflis ev fiyatları would be within their rights to add a few extra pennies after a stunning stoppage-time penalty save to repel Spain — and the No 1 is not the only player in this squad who has been courted during these Euros.
