FIFA U-20 World Cup Canada 2007 Updates!

[Hopeunited]

ah well... it was either that or posting his FM stats

 

[MaSsiVe]

thanks anyway Kibe...I've tried my luck with Lean now

 

[treble41]

This is dumb. They should allow U21 and U18 teams, not the ones in between. It just makes the competitions less important.

 

[Kibe Kru]

thanks anyway Kibe...I've tried my luck with Lean now

Good luck on that, Massive... Lean knows (and cares) a lot more about Brazilian football than I do. Sorry about Lima...

 

[Hopeunited]

Sweet that Anderson is coming. I just hope Brazil finishes 2nd in the group so I can see them in action.

 

[REDSCOUSER]

Lucas Leiva is a Liverpool player

 

[Kibe Kru]

Yes, Liverpool have bought him, but he is still attached to Gremio until Wednesday, when he plays their final match in the Libertadores.

good luck to Gremio, hope they can comeback and win.

 

[El Diablo Rojo]

Messi is 19, but will play the Copa America with the senior squad, same as Ustari.

Ustari won't be going to the Copa América due an injury.(:/) He will turn 21 on July 3rd by the way.

Apparently Real Madrid at first said that, but like 1 week after they said probably it was a good chance for Higuain to play on the national team, but after all he is not in the list, which still could give him a chance to play for France.

 

[Help?]

Kibe Kru where did you get your squad from because according to my sources Anderson is not coming, he is joining the squad in Copa America soon.

http://globoesporte.globo.com/ESP/Noticia/0,,MUL45372-4274,00.html

Maybe Anderson's been called up for Copa America to replace someone else, but I'm not really sure about that. Also, before the call up, he was not being considered to play Copa America because of the U20.

EDIT: Ok, my mistake, sorry for that. the Brazilian FA announced the squads early, then changed it a few days later... here are the official documents from 31/5
U20- http://www2.uol.com.br/cbf/destaques/convmundials20.doc
C. America- http://www2.uol.com.br/cbf/siteselecao/perfil_camerica07.pdf

On 6/6, a new list was released, found here:
http://www2.uol.com.br/cbf/sitenoticias/_65401803200766.html

The official list then is this:

GK:
Cássio - Grêmio
Muriel - Internacional
Felipe - Santos

Centre Backs:
Luizão - Cruzeiro
David - Palmeiras
David Marinho - Benfica
Edson - Figueirense

Full Backs:
Eduardo - Corinthians
Amaral - Palmeiras
Marcelo - Real Madrid
Carlão - Coritiba

Midfielders:
Ji Paraná - Internacional
Lucas - Grêmio
Renato Augusto - Flamengo
Roberto - Atlético Paranaense
Leandro Lima - São Caetano
Carlos Eduardo - Grêmio
William - Corinthians

Forwards:
Jô - CSKA
Alexandre - Internacional
Luiz Adriano - Shakhtar Donestk

 

[Lean]

I just dont know some of the center-backs but talking about the rest, i reckon the selection is very respectable.

 

[Ak Maromo]

Brazil's Copa america squad some should be on the Youth squad but arent cuz of copa america.

Goalkeeper : Doni and helton

Defenders: Alex, Alex Silva, Daniel Alves, Gilberto, Juan, Kleber, Maicon, and Naldo

Midfielders: Anderson, Diego, Elano, Fernando, Gilberto Silva, Josue, Mineiro and Julio Baptisita

Strikers: Afonso Alves, Fred, Robinho, and Vagner Love

 

[Ak Maromo]

Luizao and Eduardo are very good defenders,

Lucas is very highly rate din brazil ive seen their games man can play very good

Ji and Leandro Lima can play both midfield and forward and they can score so they have double the advantage because you cant leave them alone.

I like Edson and Renato because they can hold down their own out on the pitch. and i seen them in brazilian leage i wa simpressed on his defending and midfield composure.

 

[PaPaGeorGeo]

Lucas is going to Liverpool i thought

 

[Ruben Sosa]

Uruguay's squad

Goalkeepers: Mauro Goicochea (Danubio), Yaí Fontes (Wanderers) y Yonatan Irrazabal (Defensor Sporting).

Defenders: Martín Cáceres (Defensor Sporting), Gary Kagelmacher (Danubio), Alejandro González (Peñarol), Damián Suárez (Defensor Sporting), Juan Manuel Díaz (Liverpool) y Mauricio Prieto (River Plate).

Midfielders: Mathías Cardaccio (Nacional), Marcel Román (Danubio), Diego Arismendi (Nacional), Gerardo Vonder Putten (Danubio), Bruno Montelongo (River Plate) y Enzo Ruiz (Peñarol).

Strikers: Juan Surraco (Udinese), Edison Cavani (Palermo), Luis Suárez (Groningen), Tabaré Viudez (Defensor Sporting), Emiliano Alfaro (Liverpool) y Elías Ricardo Figueroa (Liverpool).

I still can't understand Ferrín's decision to leave Enzo Scorza out .

[PaPaGeorGeo]

Why isnt our Denilson in the Brazilian squad? Not good enough or what?

 

[Kibe Kru]

Lucas cut from the squad because of injury, Marcone, who plays for Bahia, will take his place.

I have no idea why Arsenal's Denilson isn't there...
