England U17 v. Korea DPR: 1-1

The Young Lions tied 1-1 with the Korean U17s on a sweltering day in Jeju. Academy trainee Jordan Spence went the full 90 and had a realistic look at the situation after the game. He says:

"We'd have to admit we did not play as well as we can, Everyone has off days. Conditions were tough, it was warm, but we are not going to use that as an excuse. It's no excuse for our ball retention and quality of play. It was hot and humid, but everyone got through it. The first game of any tournament is always a tough one." (full interview)

Signs of a honest leader... Let's hope things go better against New Zealand tomorrow.
