Venezuela is one of two countries, along with Ecuador, to never win the Copa America and it has never qualified for the senior World Cup.
This is a big day for the England players in particular as they might finally win a competition on the global stage for the first time since 1966.
"Hopefully we can use this as a stepping stone as ultimately the goal is to be successful at senior level and this has been a terrific experience for these players to help develop them for senior football", he said.
Calvert-Lewin initial effort was blocked by Wuilker Farinez, but the rebound fell into the path of the Everton forward and he made no mistake with his second chance. "I was born in 1966 and that is the last time we did it". As usual, Pay TV Company, StarTimes, has concluded plans to beam live actions of these matches from Suwon World Cup Stadium to Nigerian subscribers.
AFC President Shaikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa has hailed Korea Republic's incredibly successful hosting of the Federation Internationale de Football Association U-20 World Cup which concluded on Sunday.
"Fantastic achievement for them (England's U20s), and on a bigger picture everybody at St George's and within the FA and youth development in English football", Southgate added.
Calvert-Lewin broke the deadlock 10 minutes before the break.
Theresa May's top advisors quit after election failure
British Prime Minister Theresa May has appointed a new chief of staff following the resignation of her two top aides. They quit Saturday after becoming a focus of blame for the Conservatives' election disaster.
England started brightly and had the first chance when Dominic Solanke fluffed his shot after a defensive blunder put him through on the Venezuela goalkeeper. We know that even if we're losing we can bring it back. "We've waited 51 years to be able to say that again as an England team".
The Reds' new signing Dominic Solanke hit it off well with fellow youngster Sheyi Ojo, while Everton's Calvert-Lewis and Ademola Lookman provided England with the impetus to go on and win. "They played with their heart and dignity but could not get the win".
"This is the reward for some incredible work, some incredible sacrifices, and I do not think you can get a better feeling than what that felt like at the end of the game when the referee blew that whistle".
Goalkeeper Freddie Woodman - who saved a penalty in the second half to ensure England secured the trophy - racked up the most minutes of any player with 1,260 - but they all came on loan at Scottish Premiership side Kilmarnock.
Simpson said: "It's just a huge honour and I'm so proud of all the players, staff and everybody at the FA who have worked tirelessly to get to this point".
With three goals and one assist, he's relished the role on the left wing and he'll hope to play a starring role against Venezuela.
Kane is set to lead England in their next game - a friendly in France on Tuesday.
