England
by daryl on October 10, 2006
Theo Walcott came off the bench and scored twice to give England Under-21s a 2-0 win over Germany, and book England's spot at the Euro Under-21 Championships.
For the first goal, he ran onto a Leighton Baines pass, ran clear and picked his spot. For his second he ran from his own half, outstripped a defender, into the area and blasted a shot into the far corner. I'll be scouring the far reaches of the internet for video of those goals.
The BBC Radio Five interviewer who spoke to Under 21 manager Peter Taylor made comparisons with Walcott's Arsenal teammate Thierry Henry, and Taylor did nothing to deny it.
Bear in mind this is a 17 year old playing for the Under 21s. How long before we see him in a senior England shirt again?

"Again"? Has he played for England before. I had heard he was going to the World Cup, but when I got there it seemed he hadn't turned up.

He came on as a sub for the senior team against Hungary in a pre-World Cup friendly, circa May 2006.
