For Belgium, not many guys left from the team that won the bronze medal at the U17 World Cup last year

However, some pretty interesting new prospects coming up. Mile Svilar (GK, Anderlecht), Zinho Vanheusden (CB, Inter Milan), Xian Emmers (CM, Inter Milan) and Thibaud Verlinden (forward, Stoke) are some to keep an eye on.

As far as Germany goes I am not that familiar with most of the players. I know a little about a couple of guys from my favourite club.

Arne Maier (OM, Hertha) is a pretty good player, and other names I have heard before are Gian-Luca Itter (LB/RB, Wolfsburg), Kai Havertz (CM, Leverkusen), Jano Baxmann (ST, Bremen) and Renat Dadashov (ST, Leipzig).

It could get a little confusing in the back end with Tom Baack (CB, Bochum) and Florian Baak (CB, Hertha) playing together.

Is Baak the Hertha youth CB who has like 12 goals in 21 games this year?

Yes, that's him. He is the captain of Hertha's U17-team.
3 of his goals were penalties, but that still leaves 9 goals he scored in other ways.
He made some headers after free kicks or corners but also scored several with his foot.
He wasn't much of a goal scoring threat prior to this season, though.

This is a french generation I don't know much of.
I'm interested to see how they play.

Don't know much about this generation of Portugal, but I think the 16 year old striker Ze Gomes is seen as the end to Portugal's striker graveyard.
