Last time England reached a European Under-21 final was in 2009 when they lost to Germany. Six of Germany’s squad went on to win the World Cup, seven of England's went on to play for Sunderland.

José Mourinho: ‘I was nine or 10 years old and my father [Félix] was sacked on Christmas Day. He was a manager [of Rio Ave], results had not been good, he lost a game on 22 or 23 December. The telephone rang and he was sacked in the middle of our lunch’ theguardian.com/football/2016/…
