Das Ausscheiden sei aber kein Grund, den Kopf hängen zu lassen, meinte die "Times". Die englischen Burschen hätten technisch einiges drauf und vor allem gegen Italien durchaus überzeugt - nur das Resultat hätte eben nicht gepasst. "The future is bright", meinte der Autor. Gleich mehrere junge Engländer seien in Tschechien mehr als positiv aufgefallen.
Unter diesen sind auch die beiden Vertreter von West Ham United. Hier der entsprechende Teil des Artikels:
"Coming to a Premier League ground near you . . .
The future is bright. England did not get past the group stage in the European Under19 Championship finals, but plenty of home-grown players caught the eye in the Czech Republic:
Jack Cork (Chelsea)
Stand-in captain who already looks the finished article. Can play in defence or in midfield. Son of Alan, the former Wimbledon forward.
Freddie Sears (West Ham United)
Livewire striker who could be the next Michael Owen. Scored on his Barclays Premier League debut last season and is a West Ham fanatic.
Ben Mee (Manchester City)
In the squad only because of injuries, but the centre back has what it takes to make it to the top.
James Tomkins (West Ham United)
Commanding defender who was thrown in at the deep end at Old Trafford against Manchester United at the end of last season.
Daniel Sturridge (Manchester City)
Who needs Ronaldinho? The 18-year-old striker is the first player to score in the FA Youth Cup final, the FA Cup and the Premier League in the same season.
Victor Moses (Crystal Palace)
Who needs John Bostock? Linked with Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United, but the 17-year-old signed a four-year deal with the Coca-Cola Championship club yesterday. "
