Don't really give a shit about youth football tbh, at the end its all about having a few players making the 1st team, not the results. As long as each youth team has 2 or 3 talents capable of reaching the 1st team the results of the teams themselves are irrelevant to me.

Yeah. For example, very few players of the Mexican team that won U-17 World Cup are in the major team now, and almost no one has a remarkable career, maybe Héctor Moreno, but that's it. It's even worse with the team that won the 2011 tournament, a lot of players got stuck in the Mexican Second Division, unfortunately. 

Yeah. We won the Euro under 21 in 2006 and 2007, besides Huntelaar no player went on to have a big career. Some players had decent careers but nothing World Class.
