FA excited about England U21 final run

England FA boss Ian Watmore is delighted to see the nation's U21 players in tonight's European Championship final.

Chief executive Watmore said: "It would mean a lot to win this tournament both to the staff and the fans.

"If you look back, all the great teams have had good youth teams along the way. It is a good example that talent is coming through.

"A number of these players have won senior caps already so it would give them a lot of hope for next year if we qualify for the World Cup and beyond that in the European Championships.

"These are the players who will be dominating English football in the next five or six years."
