OT: Toulon tournament

Just finished pool play and the semi-finals are as follows:
France v. Italy
Mexico v. Columbia

This is a U20 tournament mostly that brings very good talent from all across the world. Very prestigious and you often see the best the participating countries have to offer. For France, since i know them lol, the players that have garnered not are:

Steven Joseph-Monrose - He has been absolutely brilliant. Scored 3 goals in 2 games, one of which was an absolute technical masterpiece (scissor kick). Plays for Lens, who got relegated from L1 this year unfortunately. Highly likely a big club picks him up this year.

Damien Le Tallec - Formed at Rennes where he never got a chance. Went to Borussia Dortmund this year, where he scored 12 goals in 30 games with the B team. Went up to the A team and didn't score in 8 appearances. He's very active and good technically. Trying a bit too hard in this tournament. Has done everything possible but score so far.

Loic Nego - Defender for Nantes. Member of the U19 2010 European Champion France team. He's going to be a star unless something strange happens. Fast, physical and confident. Nantes, Auxerre and St Etienne have been the best youth programs historically in France. This is again one of their products.
