What a surprise. ENGLAND'S week of international misery took a comical turn last night when the Under-17s conceded a late equaliser from Canada's GOALKEEPER.
With three minutes to go, England were leading 2-1 when Quillan Roberts ventured out of his goal to take a free-kick just inside Canada's half.
He launched the ball forward and after it evaded a melee of outfield players, it took one high bounce before clearing the despairing dive of Jordan Pickford in England's goal.
The 2-2 draw gave Canada their first ever World Cup point at U-17 level.
After the under 21's failed so miserably in their tournament the focus turned to the age group below to see how they would fare against the world's best. Against possibly the worst side in the world cup yet another English Goalkeeping has scuppered the team's chances of doing well. But to be a little sympathetic to the young lad, it did take one hell of a bounce.
Top finish by the other lad though!
