The Championship is surprisingly good. USA are very good. The Super Eagles of England is good too. Josh Onomah...well, now I see what Spurs see in him....DAMN!!

Re: U-20 WC THREAD - 2017
I haven't seen all the games but there are some ballers in this tourney. The South Korean who's in Barca, Sargent of the States are bonafide ballers.
Hope to catch Zambia's next game. Don't want to catch tournament fever and start leaving my work...times are hard biko.

Dont forget the rest of the players on the Super Eages of England.
Ejaria bossed that midfield vs S. Korea. He always looks very comfortable on the ball in the middle of the pitch. (just needs to release the ball sooner while with this u20 team)
Ojo, just as a sub, shows more pace, more skill and more end product than his fellow former Naija Liverpool player, Jordan I.B ever showed.
Tomori, despite the own goal in the prior match, held his own in the center of defense.
Just need Solanke to get on the end of the ball in the box a bit more.
Re. the USA, consider the fact that this isn't even their best u20 lineup. Even before Zelalem got injured, the list of players u20 that they are missing/didnt select/teams wouldn't release:
Pulisic
Akale- Villareal
McKinnie, Haji and Taitague-Schalke
Barbir- West Brom
Olosunde-Man.United
Perez- Fiorentina
With the exception of Haji(jury is still out on him imo), the rest of them are all ballers with immense potential to do big things when they make the step up.

Re: U-20 WC THREAD - 2017
Ejaria is a fascinating prospect. Dude is really intelligent and makes great runs. He's a bit weak compared to Onomah but he will develop. We should make a play for all of them, though I think no way will they let Onomah and Lookman slip from their grasps.F360 wrote:airwolex wrote:The Championship is surprisingly good.

I am shocked at how well the Americans play. They are almost like a South AMerican team, must be the Latin element in the MLS.

This kid is special. I wish Cameroon can give him a call. I know the Dad very well.

They live up in Minnesota right? Yeah they didn't call him in for the squad but some US U20 fans feel he should've made it.
Hopefully he'll use this snub to spur him on and advance to the 1st team at Villareal or elsewhere in La Liga and then maybe snub the USA for Cameroon!

Re: U-20 WC THREAD - 2017
The USA got worked over by a terrible ref in today's game. Terrible ref.
Also- For this years example of a player for a team in the western hemisphere who looks older than a U20, I give you Spurs and USA CB Cameron Carter Vickers. That young fella looks like a grown azz man already. He looks 30 lol. If he was African people would be asking for his birth certificate.
The group stage is over and here's the draw for the next round.
I think the USA got a very favorable draw right now. They should be able to beat NZ and Japan will probably be tough (if they beat Ven) but the USA should be able to beat Japan as well (with the USA red card holders returning for that match).
I see the semi-finals being
Korea vs USA
France vs England

Re: U-20 WC THREAD - 2017
The kid has been the best player in almost any tournament he has played in. As a matter of fact, he was made captain of the U.S U17 a few years ago.
