No, I stand by my sarcastic comment.

Then you shouldn't say it's sarcastic. Schoolboy error in the school of sarcasm!

Surprised to see Suso not in XI, to be honest, suggestion was team from first two games would be kept. Lopetegui opting for a #9 instead.

This interview in April 2013 mentioned we paid 500k to sign a pre-contract agreement with Pachuca for him and quoted him speaking fondly of his trial at Liverpool and how our fans and the singing of YNWA gave him goosebumps etc.

Think it might be something of a right of 1st refusal rather than a confirmed transfer?

Illori was at fault for their 2nd goal.

3 out of the 8 quarter finalists are Asian sides.

Iraq, South Korea & Uzbekistan.

A good indication that football in Asia is really beginning to produce an abundance of quality players at the lower levels of international football.

Just saw the best game so far in the U20 world cup. Ghana vs Chile.
Ghana were down 2-1. Equalised before normal time. Game went to extra time. Chile score again, Ghana manage to fight back and make it 3-3.
In the 120th minute they score the winner after some great wing play.

Very exciting and entertaining game. Their number 10 Clifford Aboagye, only 18 years old, is a star in the making.

They start playing at 19, and end the tournament when the players are 21.

adidas Golden Ball: Paul Pogba (France)
The very presence of the France captain out on the pitch was enough to command opponents’ respect. Pogba’s attributes, from his intimidating physique, fearless tackling, tireless running and the ability to read and determine the pace of the game, made the 20-year-old the team’s undisputed leader. Furthermore, the Juventus midfielder was crucial to the morale of coach Pierre Mankowski’s side, geeing his team-mates up on countless occasions when their heads dropped.

adidas Silver Ball: Nicolas Lopez (Uruguay)
Anyone who has seen Nicolas Lopez play will no doubt have realised the forward is no ordinary talent. The 19-year-old has an invaluable knack of conjuring chances from nothing and while blessed with a devastating turn of pace, he is equally adept at biding his time, waiting for the right moment to pounce. Possessing outstanding technique, the unpredictable Roma front man forces defenders to remain permanently on guard. His contributions were often decisive in helping La Celeste into the final.

adidas Bronze Ball: Clifford Aboagye (Ghana)
While Clifford Aboagye may not be able to match the dynamism and athleticism of many of his West African team-mates, the diminutive 18-year-old was without doubt the team’s creative hub. His impeccable technique frequently allowed him to get the better of opponents in tight situations, while his skilful turns created space, enabling him to demonstrate his wonderful range of passing with sensational through-balls. Aboagye’s four assists at the tournament played a large part in Ghana finishing third.
