STORY: Sunderland Under23s 0 Porto 5: Black Cats outclassed in Premier League International Cup final defeat

David Smith: They were a class above Sunderland and some idiot supporters spoiled the game. Trying to get to a few Porto fans, who I thought were great. Not one of them Sunderland players will be able to step up a gear for a first team place. See a big struggle again next season as can only see bought players coming into the squad. Be a few years to rebuild as that was embarrassing last night

Brian Thurlbeck: They were very good indeed. Maybe we should try doing things their way. Half a million pounds worth of suits in their dugout. Ours is run on a shoe string and the millions are wasted on buying poor players. Enjoyed the presentation where thousands stayed behind to applaud both sets of players and to boo the referee, who had a game he will not be proud of.

Dean Cummings: Porto were a class and a level or two above the Sunderland lads. No disgrace in losing to a team like that.
