Kenny Swain's England Under 16's side could not overcome the German youngsters, but the manager was happy with his players. 3 clean sheets against the USA, France and Ireland under 16's was plenty enough for Swain.
U16's Boss Kenny Swain Said
"It's a disappointing result, and I think there is a case to say that the better team today hasn't won the game, but the players can hold their heads high."
"I'm delighted with how the players have played this week, the performance levels have gone up with each match and in terms of their progress as international players, they are right on course.
"Germany had two direct strikers that caused us problems early on, and they have take advantage of some sloppy defending from us, but we never stopped believing we could get back into the game.
"We controlled the game and played some of the best football of the tournament, but ultimately the damage was done in conceding two early goals."
