Since Israel was announced as host there have been calls to boycott the tournament. The most prominent petition against the tournament taking place in Israel is organised by Palestine Solidarity Campaign which demands UEFA President Michel Platini reverse his decision. Another petition organised by Muslim Public Affairs Committee UK demands that UEFA move the tournament to England after The Daily Mail and The Jewish Chronicle reported that UEFA considered asking The FA to be on standby if the Gaza-Israel conflict continued.
Another petition, organised by former Tottenham Hotspur footballer Frédéric Kanouté, also gained media attention but attracted criticism when some of the names listed on it were disputed. Didier Drogba, for example, claimed he never signed the petition and his name was removed from the list.

Netherlands actually has a decent shot at this. Lots of A-internationals are actually in this team. I would add Adam Maher to be among 'the players to look out for'.

Agree Twisted, this looks like one of our best under 21 sides in a decade.  Really looking forward to this tournament.

You mean Willems? He isn't good enough.

For Germany look out for Kevin Volland. He has a bright future and is considered to be the next star. Dortmund and Leverkusen already seem interested in a transfer.
Sadly our big guns (Draxler+Götze) quickly outgrew the youth squad, so they wont play. With them we might be among the favourites.

I seriously don't understand why Draxler and Schürrle are with the german national team in the USA. For some friendly games.

100% agree, it's the same with England. Oxlade Chamberlin played like shite for the mens team, why not give him a pressured tournament atmosphere and let him play in that instead of being worthless in friendlies.
Guess some national teams need to realize how much performance enhancing a tournament atmosphere actually is for players growing up!

Group A - Matchday 1 Israel vs NorwaryKick Off 16:00 GMT (+00:00)Location: Netanya Stadium; Netanya+ Show Spoiler [Result!] + Israel 2 - 2 Norwary
• The Israel squad is free of injury as Munas Dabbur, Orr Barouch and Edi Gotlib are all over the setbacks that sidelined them for the back end of the domestic season.
• The team paid a visit to Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu before the opening match. Netanyahu asked the team to represent Israel with honour and added: "Sometimes I try to play football myself but it doesn't end well."
• Guy Luzon, who will leave after the tournament to coach Belgian side R. Standard de Liège, said of the opening match: "It will be the most exciting day of my life."
• Three days before their opener against Norway, the players and staff attended Eyal Golan's show in Jerusalem. A former footballer, Golan is now a professional music artist who wrote, and sings, the official tournament song.
• There are no fresh injury concerns for coach Tor Ole Skullerud since AZ Alkmaar midfielder Markus Henriksen replaced defender Alexander Groven, ruled out with a thigh injury on Monday.
• Valon Berisha, Joshua King, Håvard Nordtveit and Henriksen are part of the senior squad to face Albania in a FIFA World Cup qualifier on Friday, therefore missing Norway's Group B opener.
• "We are looking forward to playing against the best young players in Europe, and we know that we have lots of quality in our side as well. Our aim has to be to compete for top spot in the group," said former Manchester United FC striker King.

Group A - Matchday 1 England vs ItalyKick Off 18:30 GMT (+00:00)Location: Bloomfield Stadium; Tel Aviv + Show Spoiler [Result!] + England TBA Italy
• England arrived in Israel on Sunday having enjoyed a pre-tournament camp in Belek, Turkey.
• Midfielder Ince said those few days acted as good preparation for the conditions in Israel, adding that "we've as good a chance as anyone of winning".
• Manager Pearce has a fully fit squad to choose from with only Wilfried Zaha not taking part in full training on Monday morning at the squad's base in Caesarea.
• Having helped Crystal Palace FC into the Premier League via last week's play-off final, the winger – who is joining Manchester United FC this summer – completed his own training session but is not a major doubt for Wednesday's opener against Italy.
• The players watched the England senior team draw 2-2 against Brazil in their hotel on Sunday night, though goalkeeper Butland said a few of the team went to bed early and missed the late goals.
• Italy won 5-0 against AS Varese's youth side on Friday at Milanello. Alessandro Florenzi, Mattia Destro, Paloschi, Fausto Rossi and Lorenzo Insigne scored the goals and Devis Mangia's squad travelled to Tel Aviv the following day.
• On Sunday, midfielder Luca Marrone (thigh) started to train with the Azzurrini, and while attacking midfielder Insigne picked up a little knock to the knee, he said on Monday that "the problem is getting better, I will see today and tomorrow, then I will decide on my availability with the coach".
• Empoli FC duo Riccardo Saponara and Vasco Regini joined the squad on Monday, after their club's Serie B play-off defeat by AS Livorno Calcio.

I believe the rule is you have to be under 21 at the time of the qualifications.

Probably explains why Strootman is there. The guy is 23 and already has 18 senior international caps, lmao.
I think he deserves a bold as well, but my player to watch is Adam Maher, even if it is only because of Football Manager : |

I'm glad that Italy decided to call El Shaarawy for the Confederations Cup though. Bigger challenge for such a promising star.

Spain alone is worth watching! Ahh so Willems isn't even good enough to get into this squad! wow! Van Aanholt did though :3 woop Ahaha, yeah thanks for changing that too 
Willems is not even good enough to bench for PSV imo lol. Anyway I am looking forward to this especially because we're gonna kick some German ass.

You need to Patrick Herrman too. He's the sucessor of Reus in Gladbach
This U21 team looks very weak compared to the ones a few years ago ... Özil, Khedira, Boateng, Götze. I hope Germany can keep on producing high quality players.
This current A-Team generation is really the Golden Generation of the DFB and we must capitalize that !
OFC: Spain has a really good squad --- at least by the names of them ... Alcantara, Carvajal, Tello, De Gea (lol still U21 ?? hes so young !)
