article: They play Venezuela in South Korea on Sunday (11:00 BST), with previous U20 sides having failed to win a single game at the tournament in the past two decades. England have bettered their previous best performance of finishing third in 1993. Of that squad, only four players went on to represent England at senior level. But many had successful top-flight careers, including a Premier League and Champions League winner. Is this 2017 side a potential 'golden generation'? Will they get their break in the Premier League? Are they the future England squad for the 2022 World Cup? "There has been a determination about the players from the first day I met up with them," said manager Paul Simpson, speaking to BBC Sport from the team hotel in South Korea before the semi-final.

Simpson added: "We are changing everyone's perception of English football." Under-21 boss Aidy Boothroyd - who worked with many of the current squad at Under-19 level - added: "They are resilient, they don't know when they are beaten, they are a group that can score goals in a variety of ways.

Everton forward Ademola Lookman also represented two sides this season, having joined the Toffees from Charlton for £11m in January.
