For the first time since 1966, the English have reached a World Cup final.  Today, they succeeded in defeating Italy at the semi-final stage in the on-going under-20s World Cup finals in South Korea.


Actually, there was nothing to inspire in the first-half performance of the England team as they fell behind to the Italians after only two minutes.

However, an inspired substitution by the coach in the second-half was what the match had been waiting for.  The substitute, Liverpool youngster Sheyi Ojo, changed the course of the game as the playmaker produced a super sub performance to help his side into the history books.


England scored three second-half goals to cruise into the final where they will lock horns with Venezuela on Sunday.
