[OFFICIAL] 2007 FIFA Under-20 World Cup Thread [P+R]

[Yossarian]

NICE, NICE, NICEEEE!!!!! Shame that dirty, diving Cocksucker with another goal.....the filthy little bastard (DIVAL) does an Olympic calibre dive in the penalty area, rolls around on the ground and feigns a career ender like the bitch made ass faggot that he is and gets scored on, on the other end.

Poetic justice at its finest, MOTHER****ER!!!


Anyway.....congrats to the Argentinians and their fans, man.

 

[El Diablo Rojo]

This referee evidently won't have a long career if he can't even handle an U20, indeed some argentina dived, but also there should've been at least 1 more red card, Vidal should've been redcarded early in the game.

I believe that Vidal is the new Rodallega.

It's not entirely the referee's fault that the chilean supporters blew this match out of proportion. Apparently someone from the coaching staff of Chile punched a linesman.

Something that wasn't seen in the broadcasting so i am not sure if it's real, the commentators said that a while after the first pitch invasion a couple of chilean supporters tried to invade the pitch, they were behind the bench of Argentina.

By the way, Chile will play the 3rd position match against Austria, and Argentina will try to defend the title against Czech Republic, both matches will be played Toronto.

Toselli, the chilean keeper, establishes a new record, 491 minutes without receiving any goal in an U20 world cup.

^^ cool, that's all that I was waiting for, brah....your writeup....excellent summarization!

Now I'm gonna go downtown and celebrate with your fellow countrymen.

 

[El Diablo Rojo]

Not sure if it's real either, but i heard that 10 chilean players got arrested by canadian police because of some disturbence when they were going to their bus.
Can anyone confirm?

 

[MaSsiVe]

didn't hear or read anything, but if it's real then wow

 

[andy]

I'm really impressed with Maxi's performance in this tournament, and as usual, I expect Racing to let him go to a big european club for 2 euros

 

[El Diablo Rojo]

Apparently the incidents were real apparently the players were released after 2 hours, here're some links.

I believe things were a bit out of hand.(:/)

To clear a bit the things, in the english links they don't know the identity of the tasered person, in the chilean newspaper they say it was Isaías Peralta, but it is not clear if it was just him other versions say Cristián Suarez was tasered too.

**** A RENT-A-COP!


apparently they started the whole fracas.....


EDIT: .....found the vid of the taserin.....pretty graphic and disturbing images, folks.....so be forewarned

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KybAMDS70W4


I'm pretty confident that, that's Vidal in the video....you can tell by his tempestuousness and wild behaviour, man.

 

[Axolote]

Is this the Canadian police...?

I dont think i will go to Canada any time soon...

 

[el_marto]

everything is real
the chilean players wanted to greet their fans that were about 50 meters away from the team's bus, but the police blocked their way, they started pushing around each other until peralta was hit by an electric pistol.

also the chilean press was locked in the stadium so they could not film or capture the beating.

some images

the guy in red is alexis sanchez beeing arrested, he was brutally beaten up by 4 cops

the chilean covering his face received peper spray in his eyes

as for the match, nothing to say
argentina played better and is a fair finalist

 

[Dante_1901]

I guess that is the problem when you set a football event in a country that doesn't know sh*t about football ... people say that the chilean guy just wanted to meet some fans in the crowd. Canadian cops didn't understand this kind of typical, normal situation on the football world ... so they decided to attack the chilean players. For that purpose you better use dogs as security.

Absurd really, but hey ... maybe in Canada the cops are used to punch and arrest the loser team

 

[El Diablo Rojo]

Ok the final match is 0-0 in the half-time.

So-so match, both teams had chances, the czechs had more than Argentina though, but both teams wasted them. For the first 10 minutes it looked like a replay of the first math, but the czech started to dominate the midfield, Banega isn't having a good match, same with Mercado, the defense in general is a bit shaky probably because of the problems in the midfield. Some argentina players need to chill down a bit, Zárate specially. Yacob was missed in the first half. I think that the referee is being a bit harsh with the foul calls for both teams. I think Lautaro Acosta for Matias Sanchez in the second half may help the kids to change the situation, hope Agüero isn't injured he didn't look fine when the referee whistled.
For the czech side i think they are doing fine, however they are wasting most of their attacks with bad crosses.

 

[MaSsiVe]

the Czechs go 1-0 up with an awesome goal by Fenin

...and immediately Aguero makes it 1-1!

 

[El Diablo Rojo]

Banega and Mercado improved a lot, and Moralez is playing fine too and wjem Agüero gets the ball he's unstoppable the czech seem to have troubles to hold the pace right now. Tocalli did the proper changes in the formation, but i'm still waiting for Acosta.

 

[MaSsiVe]

huge blunder by the Czech keeper allows the 2-1 for Argentina, which nevertheless is deserved considering what they did in the second half.

I reckon the match is over now...

 

[El Diablo Rojo]

Yep, match is over Argentina won 2-1, the czech dominated in the first half but in the second half Argentina played almost their best game and won. Told ya Lautaro Acosta had to come in, he changed the pace of the match and he got a very harsh tackle on his first play.

Finally Zárate could score on this match all his previous shots were deflected by a czech player.

What a pity that Di Maria couldn't play i think the match would've been finished earlier.

Agüero is the top scorer with 6 goals.

So the 6th one comes home.

 

[Lennon]

Argentina Hexacampeon

 

[big al]

congrats to argentina well deserved champions , at least in this tounament you guys never choke

iam wondering who will be the best player in the tournament, for me at least is not dos santos or moralez or aguero, for me its banega, iam amazed how argentina keeps on creating those worldclass number 5's.

 

[El Diablo Rojo]

And the awards.

Bronze boot: Maximiliano Moralez(Argentina) - 4 goals.
Silver boot: Adrián Lopez(Spain) - 5 goals.
Golden boot: Sergio Agüero(Argentina) - 6 goals.

Bronze ball: Giovanni Dos Santos(Mexico).
Silver ball Maximiliano Moralez(Argentina).
Golden ball: Sergio Agüero(Argentina).

They made an interview to Agüero in the tunnel and he was having a hard time to hold the cup, the boot and the cup.:funny:

Di Maria, along with Banega was very good in this tournament for us.
