Friday, June 20, 4:30 p.m.: Welcome to the FOCUS online live ticker. After a wild game against England, the German U19s are in danger of being eliminated after the group stage of the European Championship finals in Romania. Despite a 5-1 lead, the German youth team, featuring several U17 world champions, only managed a 5-5 (4-1) draw. This leaves them with just one point after the 3-0 defeat to the Netherlands before their final match against Norway.
