Re: U-20 World Cup
to be fair recent senior tournaments outside of euro 08 have been crap in entertainment standpoint. you're right about passion though, atmosphere of international tournaments are unmatched.

Re: U-20 World Cup
Yeah I just love the memories of all the drama on international tournaments. I guess that's the perfect way to describe it, drama. These teams have to go through qualifying periods and wait years to get to a WC and I just feel like they care a lot more. At the club level, they play multiple tournaments a year and always have a plan B or the following season to fall back on.

They always play aggressive football and leave their all on the field. I wish Colombia played like them and Uruguay at all ages. Those 2 always play above their capabilities while Colombia always seems to play below ours.

Re: U-20 World Cup
Apparently two players from Iraq (the goalkeeper and a striker) faked their documents and age to participate in this tournament, a journalist from their country denounced it... he must be so hated haha.
Lets see how true it is and what happens.

Re: U-20 World Cup
France vs Uruguay final.
French team will be superior physically, they still havent played an extra time while Uruguay has played 2. Should be interesting match.
