By Paul Saffer Former UEFA European Under-18 Championship winners England are aiming to land the continental title for the first time at U19 level in Northern Ireland, but Football Association director of football development Sir Trevor Brooking admits that their prodigious talent can actually cause a few problems. Dramatic victoryHaving been pipped by Ukraine to the finals a year ago, England were determined to take full advantage of home turf in Elite round Group 1 as they faced Denmark, Moldova and Sweden. Having beaten Denmark 1-0 in their opener, the second game against Sweden, victors versus Moldova, had the look of a decider - and so it proved as substitute Dexter Blackstock's last-gasp goal clinched three points and England's place in the finals with a match to space. Decisive gameSir Trevor, who was present at that win, told uefa.com: "The game was very tight against a Swedish side that was going to [url=http://www.caribglass.com/products/maceutical.html]cheap seattle seahawks jerseys[/url] be the toughest in the group. There was a last-minute goal which brought everybody off their seats as with a 0-0 draw, goal difference would probably have come into it." Short tripMartin Hunter's team gained [url=http://www.roseenvironmental.net/admin/Details.aspx]st. Louis rams jerseys[/url] another 1-0 victory against Moldova to end with a perfect record, and after their short trip across the Irish Sea open their campaign against France in Belfast on Monday followed by further Group B fixtures against Armenia and Norway. However, Sir Trevor concedes that with several first-choice U19 players now involved regularly with their clubs, some conflicts can occur on international dates. 'Club v country'"Over the last five years the development teams have done really well," he said. "But one of the issues is the club versus country argument, which rears its head in the older age groups - when they are 19 at a Premiership club they might be breaking into a first team, or increasingly, going on loan to a lower division club, which is why we try to schedule the qualifiers during a double-header international week. Player withdrawals"It devalues the exercise if you cannot put out your best players, which is what happened last year. The mini-tournament [url=http://www.gnanananda.org/gnananda.html]cheap chicago bears jerseys[/url] was at the end of April and we got 15 withdrawals and drew with Ukraine instead of winning so they went through. We always try and argue with clubs that the style of football at these events is different to what they would experience in the domestic game. It's different if they are [Premiership] regulars like [url=http://www.wecanindia.org/affected.html]cheap san francisco 49ers jerseys[/url] Wayne Rooney, obviously." Wealth of talentHowever, the quantity of talent available at this level for England is a boon with regard to the ultimate aim of the exercise - developing players to form future FIFA World Cup and UEFA European Championship squads. Sven-Göran Eriksson has certainly not been shy to promote young prospects into his squad, Rooney merely being the most spectacular example. Player promotionsSir Trevor said: "If you look at the current senior squad, Sven has benefited from the likes of Glen Johnson, Stewart Downing, Jermaine Jenas and Wayne - players that could be in the U21s or even younger that are in the senior squad. And in the U21s run by Peter Taylor, he has recently upgraded three of the U19s into his squad." Many more promotions are likely if Hunter's boys fulfil their potential in Northern Ireland.
