U-19 Euro Championship and a bit more.

It is a tournament that has few equals! Not only have Spain made it to the Finals once more, following a thrilling Semi-Final against France which wasn't resolved after a 3-3 scoreline! Despite the French side's best efforts, the Spanish were victorious 4-2 in penalties and face Greece who showed a lot of spirit to fight through regulation and extra time for a 1-2 scoreline against England. In other news, the national men's team rankings at the senior level were released on the 4th of July and here's a quick look at them: Spain obviously remain on top of the world after a convincing performance at the European Championships. Germany maintained 2nd despite falling out at the Semi-Finals. Uruguay are then in 3rd while England have risen to 4th in the world with Portugal behind them in 5th position. Italy's run to the Final carried them up 6 places to 6th while Argentina are in 7th. Following the Argentines are quite the motley crew: the Netherlands, whose tournament ended in disgrace after falling in an admittedly competitive group; Croatia who similarly disappointed though they did give a decent enough run; Denmark who actually made a good showing of themselves - defeating the Netherlands before giving Germany and Portugal runs for their money (though they did eventually lose). Brazil fell, though that was largely due to inactivity rather than anything else. Greece rose 3 places following a performance that undoubtedly made their supporters proud, to put them into 12th position. Russia and France stayed in 13th and 14th respectively despite mediocre performances in the Euros (Yes, Russia were looking quite convincing before Greece showed their heart and upset them in their last group game. As for France, their Quarter-Final loss to Spain was honestly to be expected though they may have been hoping for better). And last but not least, Chile are in 15th position! Cheers.
