U-20 Through to the Final

October 13th, 2009 | By: Duvel | 5 Comments »

They’ll play a solid Ghana team in the World Cup final on Friday. This was a well deserved win for the U20 team, although Costa Rica looked like a very legit side. Alan Kardec scored the game winner, and could have had more on more than a few occasions in this match. Rogério Lourenço has really done a masterful job with this team. They’ll be the clear favorites for the final.

i’m not gonna lie this is my first time watching the U-20 and the selecao (senior side) got a sad future these guys were like 10 Ronaldinho yeah that’s right i said i’m referring to the (after the WC 2006 until 2009,R10) what the hell was that? in the future if one of these dudes made it to the senior side i’ll stop cheering Brazil (except for the goalkeeper) damn Ghana played with 1 less player since the first half these guys can’t control the ball,they can’t pass the ball i mean is that the best 22 U-20 players in Brazil? if this is the case the selecao is not gonna get an extra star for years to come,that dude Alex (n9) is so freaking selfish,the coach? i’m not even gonna say jack about him i think his coaching career is done in Brazil well we have dumb ass Dunga now i don’t know what the world is coming to,you never know anything can happen matter of fact this coach makes Dunga look like Parreira…

It is sad and hard to swallow that Brazil U20 lost in this way. Ghana deserved their victory. They played with their heart, soul and fighting spirit even with one man down. See how they motivated each others on the pitch. Brazil only have themself to blame. They looked so tired and unmotivated. Don’t blame on the coach. He did a good job only the player’s atitude problem. Douglas Costa was a joke in this match. He can’t even hold the ball well. Alex Teixeira and Alan Kardec were so selfish. Giuliano and Paulo Henrique were clueless, they should step up and drive the team forward. But sadly they were just clueless.

Please dont be downhearted and filled with doom for the senior team because if things go like they’ve been for all these years, your players would go on to great things while most of Ghana’s fade into nothingness. Maybe things’ll change.

i’m surprised Brazil didn’t poke at least one in during the match, especially with Ghana down a man. Though, i must say that i enjoyed seeing an African country take home the Cup.

Sour Grapes – Brazil. Ghana team was the better team. Period!
