I live 2 mins from BMO.
Just hoping I can watch the Korea game in a few minutes on CBC.ca
Don't wanna wait untill 11pm to watch it taped on TV.
Isn't Mexico busy playing the Copa America?
but copa america is the national team while the under-20 world cup is made up of kids who aren't needed by the national team right now. for example i think Argentinian leo messi would qualify to play in the u-20 world cup, but right now he is playing with the national team in copa america.
b.t.w. the us under-20 team blow-out of poland was a little suprise since poland just shocked brazil earlier this week. i'm looking forward to seeing the brazil v. usa match now. especially to see how adu responds. he played well today. mexico and argentina have some seriously talented kids coming up in their ranks.
Anyone following the Copa Am??rica?
Brazil's pretty dissapointing so far.
Argentina probably got the best chances to take it, either them or Mexico. Peru might be an outsider (depsite their embarrassing loss to Venezuela), but Farf??n seems to be out for the rest of the tournament.
copa america[/b]
i was really looking forward to the quarterfinals games played last weekend. all the games were such blow-outs so the games weren't that exciting but there were some great goals. to save you all the time of watching these games here is how i see the rest playing out. brazil over uruguay probably by a couple of goals even. in the other semi-final which is my most anticipated game of the copa america i am picking argentina over mexico. (sorry [email]c@**0s[/email] the mysterystrutter i think mexico will be overpowered in this match-up) i think this will be a great game probably and the best of the tournament. so that leaves us a brazil argentina final. i'm gonna pick argentina to take the trophy. it would be a different story if brazil had the services of ronaldinho and kaka.

i haven't been able to get as many on tv. usually one a day. but the games i have watched have been really competitive. the us team has been a real surprise. freddie adu has been playing as he has been expected to all along. making great plays in both the poland and brazil games. with their outstanding group play i think the us has positioned themselves to go quite far in the tournament. the spain brazil match up in the round of 16 is gonna be great. i hope argentina and mexico both pass their round of 16 game to face-off. i can't pick any winners yet. some great games still to come.
let's go football strutters lets pick up the posts. otherwise i'll talk to you about this on a sunday afternoon mysterystrutter.
yes, so exciting matches so far
espnu = games with out the usual abc/espn idiot commentators
be interesting to see how if any of the US U-20's flip this into playing in europe.
Nigeria plays the winner of Chile/Portugal.
Chile up a goal.
Hope i dont have to deal with the HOARDS of portugese in town.
i'm sure the mystery strutter is green with happiness right now. i'd like to see this result too, bring on mexico v. argentina.
Aguero's goal was pure class, quality!
Dude from Portugal actually grabbed the red card from the referees hand .... fucking hilarious to watch and then he started bawling once he was carded for doing so.... thank god Chile won that game.
Looking back, I should have went for fun. Oh well... Anyone going to see finals? Who's it going to be??? Mexico VS USA??
That would be interesting...
as for copa america i'm going with the favorites (at least i think they are) argentina. in their semi-final matches brazil barely beat uruguay, and would have lost were it not for some horrendously placed penalty kicks by forlan and lugano. i thought the mexico v. argentina game was going to be a lot closer but mexico gave up after messi scored the second goal. by the way i was reminded of the last time mexico and argentina met by mystery stutter. here you go...
