Is it on TV anywhere?

Shockingly none of the usual channels are televising it, as mentioned EUFA TV on their website have it live.

When you consider soome of the dross we watch on Sky and BT Sport to fill airtime like Scottish league games and National Conference stuff, yet we have our Under 21's looking good to win the Euro's and it's not on TV, ridiculous.
 
They were outplayed by Portugal, who had 18 shots on goal to England’s 5. It was the same old same old ; unable to keep to ball when they ( occasionally) got it.
 
Sorry.....The 1st half, Portugal were rubbish.....it was one way traffic and England 100% the better team
The 2nd half Portugal suddenly grew a pair and started to attack and then kicked the shit out of England...some dirty tactics towards the end.
Portugal had some half decent chances but the U21's goalie James Trafford was amazing....well worth the £19m Burnley are paying Man City.

Watched all the U21 England games on TV via my dodgy stick and they have been excellent.....some great football
Just hope they don't get too complacent as they beat Israel with ease last time and they just need to manage this one without bookings or injuries

Actually looking forward to this game.....

Could it be a case of Uefa wanting too much for the TV rights similar to the late deal for the Women's WC to be shown on terrestrial in Europe?

Completely agree, England have been very impressive throughout the tournament so far!

They were the better team in the first half v Portugal and scored an excellent goal, Portugal were on top second half and looked impressive as well, but they were one of the favorites so we were never going to dominate for 90mins.
 
I think we beat the best side when we knocked Portugal out. We've already beaten Germany and Israel, who were lucky to get through against Georgia.
 
All games are on in Spain on one of their mainstream channels. I was in Malaga on Sunday so
saw the match unfortunately back now !
 
England miss a penalty after 15 minutes Gibbs-White puts it a yard wide. 😣

Never a pen in a million years to be honest Gordon doing the tricks and conning the ref but it worked. 😃

Israel fans may be booing England, but the fact of the matter is if their team continue to not even try and win the ball back then they lose. They made no attempt, and if they continue like that in the second half then all England have to do to go through is to stand there with the ball. Since we're leading, the onus is on them, not us.
 
Didn’t think that would be given looked marginally offside.
Edit just showed the offside line must have been millimetres in it. 😮
You would think being 2-0 with just over 20 minutes to go Isreal would at least come forward now and make a game of it.
 
England do seem to be producing teams, in particular the Women and Mens age restricted sections, that are consistently reaching semis and finals. Just need the mens team to finally tick that box of winning a tournament.
 
So if anyone needs a link, the streaming sites will show it, send me a PM. But apparently there's an option for broadcasters to bid for the final, so fingers crossed it should pop up somewhere.
