Have him in my FIFA team, GOAT player.

Did you know that Levin Öztunali is the grandson of famous German player Uwe Seeler? Looks like he will follow in his gramps' footsteps one day.

by RealGunner Tue Jun 02, 2015 8:03 pm

What a talent. He is so similar to Xavi. Exact playing style.

by Rebaño Sagrado Wed Jun 03, 2015 7:16 pm

New Robben.

Looks mire similar to Thiago than Xavi. The closest I've seen to Xavi is probably Cleverley.

ffs

@reb Similar celebration too Laughing

So is there next Messi or Maradona in the makes, or is it all Freddy Adu's? Who's the stars of the tournament?

by rwo power Wed Jun 10, 2015 8:56 am

Well, you can tune in to Ukraine vs Senegal right now. They match is 26 minutes in, still 0:0.

I haven't watched enough of the matches to determine a special star yet.

o_O I just saw that Mali U20 defeated Ghana U20 3:0

by Harmonica Wed Jun 10, 2015 9:40 am

Senegal goalie atm I think.

by rwo power Wed Jun 10, 2015 10:03 am

He's quite adventurous for sure. Or as the German commentator put it "Manuel Ibou Sy Neuer" Very Happy

by Harmonica Wed Jun 10, 2015 11:12 am

That Senegal goalie was pretty good tbh, saved 3/4 penos.

by farfan Wed Jun 10, 2015 12:06 pm

haw dare you forget Nabil El zhar in your 2005 list Harmonica ? Laughing

a liverpool legend and the second best player in the tournament after Messi . :coffee:

by rwo power Wed Jun 10, 2015 3:48 pm

Penalty hero: Senegal's Ibrahima Sy

by rwo power Thu Jun 11, 2015 10:23 am

Germany won 1:0 against Nigeria with a very good first half and a very laboured 2nd half. Levin Öztunali did his grandpa proud and scored the winner.

Uzbekistan defeated Austria 2:0, Portugal defeated New Zealand 2:1 and the match Brazil vs Urgugay is currently scoreless and has to go into extra time... I'll add the quarter final match ups when the Brazil match is decided.

Stark must be one of the wasteful players in the tournament, he alone had like 5-6 opportunities to score.

by Magricos Sun Jun 14, 2015 4:49 am

Germany out and Stark missed the final penalty.

by Ganso Sun Jun 14, 2015 4:57 am

lovely day this has been

good night : )

by RedOranje Sun Jun 14, 2015 7:43 am

USA looking incredibly tired in this extra time here, not sure they can hold out. Serbia looking the more likely to score.

by RedOranje Sun Jun 14, 2015 8:04 am

Poor first penalty for the US, easy save for the Serbian keeper.

by RedOranje Sun Jun 14, 2015 8:06 am

Serbia skies their second penalty though and it's 1-1 with two taken for each team.

by RedOranje Sun Jun 14, 2015 8:07 am

US keeper should have saved that one... soft hit and the keeper went the right way but it just slipped under him.
