Colombia has a chance to make a deep run. Only Turkey makes a threat in the group.

The French looked great in the opener against Ghana. They might be the fastest team in this tournament.

The US drew the Group of Death, but it should be a good test of skill and development. Should be a fun watch.

ESPN2

EDIT: ESPN's family of networks is having coverage of some games. I know that tomorrow on ESPNU they're showing El Salvador/Turkey. I'm not too sure how extensive the coverage will be until the semis and final.

Didn't he score a couple hat tricks in the U-19 a couple years ago? Or was that Deulofeu, too?

It's funny, people were saying this Spanish dominance is coming to an end but they managed to grab the Euro last year and they only look to be strengthening with so many bright youth prospects just waiting for their shot on the senior team.

He had a hattrick against Portugal in the 3-3 draw in group stages, and scored the winner in the final against Greece (assisted by Deulofeu).

Speaking of, Deulofeu is absolutely incredible. Here's hoping he doesn't join their attack some day or it's GG.

Bits and pieces. I had it on as background noise when I was cleaning my place. Like I said earlier, the French are fast, that's all I could really take from it being as I wasn't paying much attention and don't know a whole lot about the squad.

Deulofeu just made the whole US defense look like they were moving in slow motion. It also didn't help that our keep made a really bad choice of coming out too early.

Colombia has a long way to go. Only great player we have is Quintero, he's awesome. Good thing we got the draw, if not we would be out if we lost since i expect Turkey to be good.
