Brazil-Argentina U17

My apologies for taking so long to post about the U17 championship result. It’s been a hectic week and I was out of town until today. The U17 squad beat Argentina over the weekend on penalty kicks, after blowing a 2-0 lead with less than 30 minutes in the match. Brazil’s two goals were from Zezihno and Coutinho.

All in all, this was a solid tournament for this squad, with many players setting themselves up for moves to big clubs during the past month. Many members of this squad figure to feature for the national team in 2014 when the World Cup comes back to Brazil.
