I watched Spain U21 dominate with clean, clinical pressure—7 goals in 6 games, yet their defense cracked under the weight of expectation. Meanwhile, England U21 built a counterpunch: 3-1 over Czech, then vanished against Germany. This isn’t just stats—it’s generational storytelling. As a former esports athlete turned content creator, I see these matches not as results, but as rites of passage for young players left behind by system. The real game? It’s who gets to speak.
