FIFA U20 World Cup

[BrazilFan]

I'm surprised we played that well. Brazil U-20 was in bad state under Gallo. We also missing a couple of our better talents.

That Rabona assist for the 1st Nigerian goal. Ruined it with the Cristiano celebration though.

FT: Argentina 2-3 Ghana
. . . . .really? . . . . .well done Ghana I guess
This sucks. So much for seeing Argentina live.

So much for seeing in person Germany vs Argentina in the quarterfinals. It will now likely be Germany vs Ghana. Argentina will be knocked out if they don't win their next game.
If Argentina do win their next game against Austria, then they will put Austria down to 3rd place because Argentina will have scored more goals in the group. Argentina will then play the runner up of group F (likely to be hondorus) in the Round of 16.
Argentina will then play USA/3rd place group D or C in the quarterfinals (depending on what are the top 4 3rd place teams out of the 6 groups).
Argentina if they make it to the semi-finals will play against Brazil, Portugal, Austria or the runner up of Group D in the Semifinal in Christchurch. yay. It will be very interesting how the next 4 days develop

African teams are very strong at junior level because of their physical attributes.

Heavy weather would have postponed todays games. Our Indoor permanent roof Stadium (the glasshouse) saved the day.

[ManusXavi]

We had 175mm of rain fell in 24 hours breaking our previous record of 83mm.

I did make it but unfortunately the only way I could reach my car after the match was by walking through the floods or a 15 min added detour walk. Idiot of the year goes to me for not pulling up my trousers
