Maybe on one of the sites Macca usually posts for LFC games ?
France are supposed to be very strong since they didn't qualify for the U21 Euros and so brought all of those qualifying players here (Korea).
Happy for my young 'Muricans. Sargent has a good look about him for a 17 year old striker. Balance and touch pretty sharp, and a nose for goal. And a ginger
I'm not sure what the guy is trying to say. Does he mean not winning the U20 WC since 97? That doesn't make sense because England hasn't won it ever.
If he's saying England hasn't won a game at the U20 World Cup since 97, well, that's strange because they've beaten Argentina, South Korea and Costa Rica already.
So WTF is he on about? Does he mean England hadn't won a game at the U20 World Cup before this edition?
Italy - Zambia is going end to end right now by the way. Italy down to 10 men since the first half due to a dubious red card ("last man foul").
Been tough for the Italians playing end to end even though they're a man short. Entertaining, but rather surprised that they tried to slug it out instead of slowing the game down, lock down and trying to hit on the counter instead.
Wow... Italy equalize. Great free kick. This is the best game in the tournament so far.

Its pretty straightforward..
Prior to this tournament the side had lost or drawn each world cup u20 match in the last 20 years.
Ha - I didn't realize that the Italy U20 manager is Alberigo Evani who played years ago for Milan.
And Italy wins! Great job coming back twice to win in extra time.
Saw just the final 20 minutes or so of the game - he looked winded by then, but still could've had an assist or two if Adam Armstrong and Calvert-Lewin had done better with the chances he presented them. The two passes he made on the break were pretty impressive and showed good vision and execution. I was expecting him to push the ball on and take the shot himself on both occasions but he pleasantly surprised me by spotting Armstrong / Calvert-Lewin in better positions and playing good passes to them while under pressure from the Mexican defenders snapping at his heels.
Italy one up
