Polidoro posted:I take it no one is following the U-20 WC? Uruguay beat Spain 1-0 on extra time and went through to the semis. Turns out that the best way to destroy tiki-taka is to play a two meter tall forward and score from a corner kick. I've been following the U20 WC and didn't expect Uruguay to win, but I'm glad you did because those Spanish kids were crying and I just enjoyed it. In general terms re WC, I was surprised with the performance of the Iraq team, since they pretty much played like poo poo but were crazy fit, covering all of the spaces and just winning on the physical aspect.

Iraq is a weird team in that their footwork is lacking in many respects but they keep running and blocking crosses like it's nothing. I wonder if they have good doctors, hmmmm.

Chile's passing is abysmal at times. There's a number of pretty great players but it seems like they keep losing the ball and it's just annoying.

I love that Ghanian supporter in diapers. It represents this whole game.

The U20 World Cup is generally excellent for seeing who will be the good players in the coming years. Weirdly, this doesn't apply to Brazil, the African and most Asian teams.

I don't think Portugal stand a chance against Germany tomorrow. Selke and Stendera have looked amazing this tournament.

Just a friendly reminder that today's the UEFA U19 Championship final and the Germans will probably win.
