look out for Dirk Marcellis, captain of the Dutch u-17 and the biggest youth prospect of PSV (H) (not that that's much of an achievment :()

oh man I cant wait!!!
I just love these youth tournaments!!

Brasil ARE the reigning champs, so I hope they repeat, cuz those kids 2 years ago RULED!

We should have brought Adu. :(

you didnt?
I thought he was there?!!!

OH MAN, you guys are done with then!

guys keep an eye on australias number 1 keeper. aleks vrteski.

i actually do know the guy. he was our goalkeeper at school where we competed against other schools all over the state of western australia. with him in goals we scored 14 goals and conceded 0. he is a tall guy and a great prospect.

wolverhampton tried to sign him up but because he was under the age of 18 they couldnt complete the transfer!

come on australia!!!

look out for Mexico's Giovanni Dos Santos. Barcelona's "Ronaldinho Jr" (H)

fuuny thing is that I never heard of any of these Brazilians, and I never hear about them after this tourney....do you remeber anyone from 2 years ago? I remember Adu getting owned by Brasil, but he's the only one.

oh ye and look out for peru's ...............
nevermind :chew:

man look out for the feyenoord youth players, they are really good!

Especially Diego Biseswar and Mitchel Schet, but Jordy Buys is a great defender

and Ghana player Erney Asante is really big talent

where in the hell is Freddy Adu?

where in the hell is Freddy Adu?
Helping DC United reach the playoffs.

Just watch these two players from Brazil:

- Anderson, from Grêmio (the same team Ronaldinho played for the first time), a left (attack) midfielder with high class shoot and pass. The best brazilian player in the tournament by far. Clube do Porto already bought him for 5 million euros and he'll join them next year.

- Marcelo, from Fluminense, one of the best LB I've ever seen at this age.

Is this on TV and what channel?

Nuri Sahin of Turkey is great.

look out for Mexico's Giovanni Dos Santos. Barcelona's "Ronaldinho Jr" (H)

Seriously, whatch out for this kid, he's got great potential.

Dan, **** Adu, we've got Q-Man and Jamil Walker (H)

Seriously though... we need him. Walker still plays 90 minute-games for the Reserves and Moreno is still suspended. DC doesn't have many forwards as it is.

Plus... he had a pretty dissappointing World Youth Championship. Mentally he wasn't ready for it... it's better he stays in DC.

Yes, just like most Mexicans I've heard about this "ronaldinho jr." , Giovanni Dos Santos. Sounds like our savior...our next Hugo, Cuau (H)

The fact is I've only seen or recognize is Ever Guzman, who plays for Morelia. My cousing is neighbors with this kid in MOrelia, Mich. (H) So far he's played a couple of minutes with the first team and looks good. Another good future.

Yes, just like most Mexicans I've heard about this "ronaldinho jr." , Giovanni Dos Santos. Sounds like our savior...our next Hugo, Cuau (H) Well, I'll say this, if he turns out like Hugo I don't want him anywhere near the national team. Hugo did **** with the national team, nothing anywhere near what he did at club level. Let's hope he turns out like Cuau without the crap attitude. :p

This Giovani guy is brazilian right?
The only guys I know are Anderson and Kerlon, but Kerlon is injured

Giovani Dos Santos has a triple nationality. Mexican, Brazilian, and Spanish. He is Mexican-born though, from Monterrey to be exact.

yeah, his dad was Brazilian and played in the Mexican league. Giovanni Dos Santos, along with his younger brother Jonathan, we're born in Monterrey, Mexico.

I've only heard of Giovanni, Guzman and Vela (Alex Vela's little brother). Supposedly after Giovanni, Carlos Vela is the mexican player with the biggest potential. Hes 16 and one step away from Chivas' senior squad.

We should have brought Adu. :(
I just did some quick checking and he wouldn't have been eligble as the fifa eligiblilty rules don't allow someone to compete in the U-17 world cup twice, add to that, he played in the world youth cup which also makes him ineligible.

This could also be a problem for Australias star player David Williams who went to the youth world cup also, yet didn't take part in any matches, so i'm hoping for Oz's sake he is allowed to play.

Right now uruguay are getting OWNED by Mexico

We won 2-0. (H) I think I'll have someone record the game for since I'll be working, I definitely want to see how these kids played.

Freddy Adu:

2005: Wins the MLS with DC United for the 2nd time in a row.
2006: Wins the MLS with DC United for the 3rd time in a row.
2007: Wins the MLS with DC United for the 4th time in a row.
2008: Wins the Olympic with the U.S. in Beijing.
2009: Wins the MLS with DC United for the 5th time in a row.
2010: Wins the World Cup with the U.S.
2020: Retires, having won 12 MLS-titles with DC United.

Best name of the tournament:
Brazil's Leyrielton!

Most meaningful name:
China's WANG Gang (FW, 12)
1 GK WANG Dalei
15 MF WANG Xuanhong
20 DF WANG Weilong

Saddest poster in SG: Kibe Kru :(

???
man Im so confused...

15 PAK In Gol



is he the goalkeepper??
:( :( :( :(

Me too. What are Vagegast and Kibe going on about?

And yep, Mexico ran all over us. Good thing they can't hit the broad side of a barn, otherwise the game would have ended 5 or 6-0. :nape:

- Anderson, from Grêmio (the same team Ronaldinho played for the first time), a left (attack) midfielder with high class shoot and pass. The best brazilian player in the tournament by far.

(H)

I have great hopes on this kid, seen some short videos of him and he seemed to have awesome skills.
We're waiting for him to show his class over here (Y)


I saw parts of the Mexico vs Uruguay game and Geovanni is really something else! Ramon from Uruguay looked to be a very good player too.

damn... 1-1 tie with Costa Rica. :nape:

Turkey beat Australia 1-0 and Nuri Sahin was the scorer. :rockman:

We're going to have to beat Turkey now to have a chance of advancing when we play Australia...

Peru is beating Ghana 1-0. A Ghanian was sent off a bit earlier, didn't catch his name.

1-1, own goal.

That's got to be a candidate for best finishing in an own goal. :rolleyes:

the player that was sent off is Mubarak WAKASO.

Brasil play today :lui:
lets hope fpr a good game!

Capitalism 3-2 Communism FT

It was far from a comfortable win for Capitalism, even though they were the favorites. The Capitalists looked in control early on, but the Commie offense proved to be a handful for the defenders. In the end, Capitalism won thanks to Preston Zimmerman's goal, but the team will need to do better if they want to get results against Cote d'Ivorie and Italy.

Freddy Adu:

2005: Wins the MLS with DC United for the 2nd time in a row.
2006: Wins the MLS with DC United for the 3rd time in a row.
2007: Wins the MLS with DC United for the 4th time in a row.
2008: Wins the Olympic with the U.S. in Beijing.
2009: Wins the MLS with DC United for the 5th time in a row.
2010: Wins the World Cup with the U.S.
2020: Retires, having won 12 MLS-titles with DC United.
Arash, put down the ganja.

Preston Zimmerman looks like a girl :(

Darn shame for Brasil :nape: but hey they were a good team

Mexico 3-0 Australia (Esparza,Vela X2)

Ouch, 3-1. Those African teams rule everything in U-17's.

i heard that some of the players on teams from africa were not really under 17, has anyone else heard about this...

Why do you think they win everything U 17 and then nothing at the senior team?

you see it is wuite obvious that these african teams players are older than what they actuallysay they are.

For instance Porto had a player in their juniour team last season.he was the younger bro of Amunike(nigerian international--retired) He was supposeldy 18 but ppl thought that was bull****, he had a full grown beard. After investigation the Nigerian Fa lied and he was actually 22. That got him kicked out of the team/

why do u think these african players tend to reach their peak earlier than others, cuz when they are 25 they are actually in their peak years aka 28-30 years old. That's why they also tend to fade away earlier than others. Again this isn't as evident now, but it did happen and still does

The Gambians looked in their 20s.

Clemens Westerhof, former coach of Nigeria, said that most of the players on the U-20 squad were older than they claimed. He also said John Owoeri is at least 2 years older than he claims to be.

which proves my point.

You can thank De Parool...

USA 3 - Italy 1

LMAO what a funny game. Lot of fighting, cards, and a coach sent off :nape:

I like that Arvizu kid and Nakazawa seems like a real deadball specialist.

Dos Santos at Barca youth teams.

Dos Santos at Barca youth teams.

http://s47.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=18M3YGYJBOH9O2E4PK8WR4VU36 Nice video. (H)

Hell, even Cisse looks way older than his age. I would give that guy after a first look, something like 25 years of age. Yet he's 21 or 22. But he's a Liverpool player so shhhhhh. :chew:

Brasil FINALLY played well!
They beat Holland 2-1!

Now we MUST beat Qatar!

I cant believe the US is TEAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRing it up! But those ARE some big strong kids out there

The Brazil-Netherlands match looked good, I'd like to see some of those players sticking to big european clubs in the following years.

Ghana hasn't won. Korea trashed Ivory Coast. Brazil and Italy lost to Gambia and the US. Uruguay's eliminated.

What an odd tournament.

Ok, scratch the last one. :nape:

China 1-0 Peru :rockman:

rocking the home crowd

mexico is looking good up til now; i think they are real prodpects to be champions; not just cause of there wins; but because of their convincing playmaking; USa is looking good too; brazil is looking bad up til now; but dont count them out cause they always accelarate at quarterfinals

China 1-0 Peru :rockman:

rocking the home crowd

heard the players and fans left crying :(

they attacked the entire 2nd half trying at least to tie.

Ghana hasn't won. Korea trashed Ivory Coast. Brazil and Italy lost to Gambia and the US. Uruguay's eliminated.
USA beating Italy at the U-17 level is not much of an upset. In fact, a lot of people considered the US team the favorites in the group. Looks like they were right.

I was disappointed by USA's opening match but I'm much more confident after the Italy win. We played some seriously good soccer and the Italians never had a chance. We could definitely do without the goalkeeping gaffes though, two games in a row now.

Yea, that goalkeeper can't be doing that

Ryan Soroka lives 10 minutes away from me. Played club soccer with one of my friends. Everybody says hes the real deal. But i dont have FSC. Who looks the most impressive out there?

Whos the white guy with the really blonde hair?

Didn't see the Korea game...based on what I saw against Italy...

Purely on potential I would say Arvizu. The kid moves like a natural goal scoring machine and he's very direct about his approach.

Soroka looks like a tough little dude that knows how to finish and anticipate opportunities.

And even though the team is pretty good the GK is going to cost them a big game at this rate. I would have to replace him if he made another mistake.

Whos the white guy with the really blonde hair?
probably Zimmerman.

Can't be Zimmerman, he's a woman.

Yea, it's Zimmerman.

Paul, you can remove that sig man :)

I know, just been too lazy to actually do it. :D

Zimmerman (H) :(

Whos the white guy with the really blonde hair?
Abby Wambach

Zimmerman (H) :(
He has the strength and tenacity of a German... and the technical ability of a German, unfortunately. :p

USA vs. Netherlands in the Quarters :rockman:

The question is: who will Arash root for?

The motherland of course.

That means he cheers for whoever's winning

The motherland of course.

:kader:

Bitch, please.

Here's what the Dutch coach said about the Americans: "Individually they're not spectaculair, but because they play compact it's hard to play them."

In other words, we'll beat yo ass.

How about a bet, Arash. If the Netherlands advance, you choose my sig for two weeks. If USA advance, I choose your sig for two weeks.

Stokes says: I'll take that bet.

You're gonna go down like a little bitch Arash :kader:

man I cant believe Gambia are ouT!!!!!
poor guys!!!
thats what you get for missing a pk...if they wouldve made that they wouldve advanced!!!

I find it hilarious that Brasil advances even though they sucked :nape:

Bitch, please.

MEXICO 3 - 1 c.r.

Mexico is going to the semifinal and waiting for Holland or u.s.

:Bow: Carlos Vela & Giovanni Dos Santos

If these guys are the "real deal", Mexico is gonna have on hell of a pair of ST's in the future.

On to the Semi's... :rockman:

Dos Santos didnt even do sh*t. Ever Guzman came in and did more in the 2nd half than Dos Santos has done most of the tournament.

Dos Santos has some raw talent, but right now to me Ever Guzman is a better ST.

But I was glad we didnt lose to CR with that own goal. Towards the end of the 2nd half was 23 for MExico and 6 for CR. They didnt do anything the entire 1st half except defend. But im just happy we're through. (Y)

How is the new ball technology doing?

Do you smell that Paul? *smelling* ...smells like WC. (H)

In the name of the father, son, holy spirit, amen. :)

EDIT: holy sh*t, Galavision (ch. 64) is showing the game. (Y)...too bad I'll be watching mostly the Charger game. :(

Mexico's own goal was spectacular. I loved it.

Well, looks like after we get past the Dutch we'll have a 2-0 victory waiting for us in the semifinal. (H)

Haha, you haven't even gotten passed Holland and you're already talkin sh*t. It be SPECTACULAR to see you guys lose. I would love it. ;)

Do we have a Kevin Keegan on our boards?

that should be a good game.
I just hope Brasil beats Korea.

You haven't beaten the Dutch and you're already talking about beating Mexico, and for your info the Mexican U-17 Team beat the US U-17 Team
2-1 last month in US territory

HT: 1-0 for Holland, goal by Ajax-academy prodigy Sarpong (H)(Y)

I'm currently thinking of a sig for ya, Dan...

Arash, shouldn't you be supporting America?


Terrorist :kader::((H)

Aww, red card for a US player. 15 minutes to go, 11 vs 10, 1 vs 0.

Aww, red card for a Dutch player. 12 minutes to go, 10 vs 10, 1 vs 0.


Hmm, US was applying pressure on the Dutch goal, but the Dutch scored from a break away with 6 minutes to go. It'll be over now.

Sarpong again, btw.

Where's Thierry Cygan?

:(

end.

The Dutch still got 3 small chances in the final 6 (+3) minutes.

I've only seen the second half and Holland's kids seemed to be way more talented than USA's.
I liked Vormer and dutch number 9 (anyone can tell me his name? portuguese commentator on Eurosport sucks :nape: ) a lot, plus Hall on the american side.

And...Sarpong (H)

#9 is Diego Bisewar, promising right-winger from Feyenoord.

2-0
haha....where's run dbm?

#9 is Diego Bisewar, promising right-winger from Feyenoord.

Thanks m8.
He sure looks promising, with those crazy skills...reminding me of Zlatan in a way :|

Good luck to Holland for the semis!
But if they meet Brazil on the final..they'll break again: Anderson! :lui:

Bring on the fu*kin Dutch Arash! (H)

I thought we played fairly well but if you can't put away your opportunities you can't win.

Good luck to Mexico :ewan:

2-0
haha....where's run dbm?
I'm right here, bitch.

The Dutch got fvcking lucky. All they did in this game was:

a) pass the ball back to their goalkeeper
b) foul US players every time they touched the ball

Motherfvckers broke Kevin Alston's leg. The only time they looked dangerous in attack was when the US threw everything forwards and left themselves exposed to counter-attacks.

The US played well and deserved a lot better than that. I'm proud of the way our kids played. They proved that the gap between the two sides is much smaller than many thought.

Arash, I'll proudly wear whatever sig you come up with for me, but you got lucky you traitor.

I was really impressed by our boys, they were plowing like mad.

http://img80.exs.cx/img80/4509/Chuck_Norris.jpg

Fvckin' Chuck Norris.

It's his fault.

Motherfvckers broke Kevin Alston's leg.

Damn, didn't know it was a break though it looked horrible. poor kid.

How about a bet, Arash. If the Netherlands advance, you choose my sig for two weeks. If USA advance, I choose your sig for two weeks.

funny :ewan:

Mexico - Turkey will be the final.

They want this cup real bad, you can just see feel it.

Plus, they do have very solid teams, unlike Holland and Brazil, was not impressed at all by their games today.


By the way.
Dos Santos may not play against Turkey, Guzman could take his place.
That would be good though, anyone see the goal against Costa Rica, in Extra-Time? Fantastic.,

I'm right here, bitch.
man dont get mad at me........I wasnt talking all that trash before hand. Im just messing with you man. A little friendliness thats all (H)

watch out turkey or brazil.....

Brazil's winning 3-1 right now in the 2nd half.

Looks like the final is gonna be Brazil vs Mexico.

Not an unexpected result, really. Mexico taught us a lesson in finishing today, we missed way too many chances today. This Dutch team has done well though: European finalist and World semi-finalist. Not bad at all, and I got to see some of Ajax's talents on display that I normally wouldn't see.

Paul, **** you :(

The players that have played the best are those that don't belong the best soccer school in Mexico (:Bow: Atlas) and even though they are represented by 5 of their best from the school in Guadalajara it hasn't been them who've impressed me. (although it's still impresive that Atlas has 5 players on the squad. (Y)

the favorite so far:

- CB (Cptn') Patricio Araujo - CD Chivas de Guadalajara
- CB/CDM Efrain Valdez - Pumas del U.N.A.M.
- CB Christian Sanchez - Atlas :o
- LM Adrian Aldrete - Monarcas de Morelia
- ST Cesar Villaluz - Cruz Azul
- ST Carlos Vela - CD Chivas de Guadalajara
- ST Ever Guzman - Monarcas de Morelia
- ST Giovanni Dos Santos - FC Barcelona (cadete)

Efrain Valdez is my MVP.

Turkey didn't let me down, they did well, just not enough luck there at the end.

Brazil is a better rival for Mexico anyway.


Great game by our boys, I never had any doubt that they would be in the final.
Great game by Dos Santos, they even compared him to Adu!? Can you believe it!?, Adu could never take 9 players out in a single run.

I just hope these kids fulfill their potential and don't turn into crap like our last talented group where only Rafa has been successful. Great result though, didn't get to see the game (Galavision was supposed to have shown it at 8 but didn't) but hopefully I'll be able to catch the final, does anyone know at what time it's going to be at?

Holland got own3d. (H)

Holland got own3d. (H)
That could've have been you guys. :lui: (H)

I saw the Mex-Hol game for a 2nd time. :taz:

I hope to see this for the Final.

-------------------Arias-----------------
-------Araujo-----Moreno---Hernandez---
Ezparza----Sanchez----Valdez----Aldrete-
----Villaluz---Guzman/DosSantos---Vela---

Guzman or Dos Santos? Either way we still play with 3 ST's.

That could've have been you guys.
Nah, we know how to play against you. Besides, both teams would've been too concentrated on kicking and wrestling eachother for you to score all those goals.

BULL**** BULL**** BULL****!!! :hit:

Turkey comes back from 3-1 and a man down only to get ****ed over at the end. Nuri Sahin is the best player in this tournament period. Why is everyone talking about all these Mexicans when Nuri could take them all to school?

Anderson will turn into a magnificent player, if he can let off his cockiness. It's a shame we dont have Kerlon on the squad.

Because Mexico is in the final, and Turkey isnt.

Vela, Dos Santos or Villaluz > Sahin. (H)

Turkey beat Mexico 2-1 (H)

Our backups played that game. :p

Yeah, Turkey barely beat our back-ups. (H)

Yeah, Turkey barely beat our back-ups. (H)Nice. (Y)

:hit:

It's true, plus Turkey don't deserve to be in the Final after that choke-job. I'd rather have Mexico beat the country that represents the best soccer as we know it, Brazil.

C. Vela, G. Dos Santos, C. Villaluz (what GOLASO vs. Holland), E. Guzman, E. Valdez, P. Araujo > Sa...who? Sa...aaaa. WTF is his name anyways? (H)

Sahin > all of mexico

Nuri Sahin is the best player in the tournament, period.

I got to give it to Sahin for that goa vs Brazil. (Y)

Whether or not hes the best player, we really dont care. It doesnt matter whos the best player of the cup if he has crappy players around him. So keep ur "best player" title... we have a solid team and we're in the final.

Im not Turkish so you are not offending me in any way. Nuri just deserves more respect. Turkey won the Euro championship with their team so they cant be crap.

Look the point is its now Mexico Vs Brazil in the final and shall the better team win

So
ANDERSON, from Brasil won the Golden ball. (H) :brow: :read:

its just a consilation prize....

Nuri Sahin is the best player in tournament..He called up for Turkish National Team..I think he will play his first international match with Turkey against Germany next week..
