Man, if that's true it was a colossal screw up. But what else did you expect from the CBF?

btw Brazil's U-20 do or die match line-up for tonight:

Luiz Gustavo; Igor Julião, Luan, Dória e Mansur; Misael, Lucas Cândido, Rafinha Alcântara e Felipe Anderson; Bruno Mendes e Ademílson.

Thiago is already better than Lucas Leiva (though he plays a different position) and Paulinho and he's only 21. In a few years he'll be better than both combined.

Thiago is not a better cm than Paulinho imo.

Thiago isn't a catalyst.. he's just a complimentary piece to a Barcelona jig saw puzzle.

Lucas and Paulinho are pillars on their team.

btw Brazil up 1-0 on Venezuela via PK by Felipe Anderson.

Well when you represent a NT you can't be like "I'm playing for this country but it's my 2nd choice", that would get you called up never again

Rafinha... glad this kid is aboard.

by elitedam Thu Jan 17, 2013 1:47 am

Rafinha was one of the few bright spots from this game. It still looks like we have no cohesion.

Also, Doria was at least a yard onside.

by Catracho Thu Jan 17, 2013 2:03 am

This midfield is in shambles... Avila doesn't know what to do.

why don't they just go back to the basic 4-2-2-2, I don't even know what kind of formation they're playing half the time.

by Catracho Fri Jan 18, 2013 1:08 am

Bittersweet ending for Argentina U-20 team, as they beat Colombia 3-2, but at the same time bow out of the competition.

by elitedam Sat Jan 19, 2013 12:31 am

Wow!

Has anybody ever seen a worse Brasilian team than this?

by elitedam Sat Jan 19, 2013 12:53 am

Matheus is beyond awful. I don't want to be unfair because the whole team sucked but this kid shouldn't be playing this game.

He's still young. He should go take the vestibular or something.

by Catracho Sat Jan 19, 2013 1:03 am

First time since 79 (and only 2nd time ever) we don't make it to the Sub-20 World Cup.

Doria sucks.. Manzur sucks.. Luan sucks.. they all suck.

by Ganso Sat Jan 19, 2013 2:41 am

our worst youth generation ever considering only 2 teams qualified back in 79.

Pretty funny since the Neymar-Oscar-Lucas generation was our best just a couple of years ago

Uruguay 2-venezuela 2 . Nico Lopez 4 goals in 4 games Chaka

Congrats to Colombia, Cafeteros Campeones!!!!! Anyone have any highlights of the last few games?

by FalcaoPunch Mon Feb 04, 2013 5:33 am

I heard Colombia won. That's great for us and really putting Colombians on the map now.

I keep hearing about this Quintero. Also MVP of the tournament.
Such a shame I didn't keep up with the games.

Golazo.
