U17 World Cup 2023

It already is biannual.

You're right, just looked that last WC was in 2019 but forgot they had to cancel 2021 edition for known reasons.

 

[Porque]

Rayan Vitor goal.

Estevao on the bench.

1-0 to the huge Brazilians.

 

[Jenks]

Bit of a shock result as Brazil lose 3-2 to Iran.

 

[Messi983]

Spain with a 1-0 win against Mali today but it was far from easy. Juan Hernandez with a winner and assist from Fort who was probably the best Spanish player. Seven Barca players started, Bernal stayed on the bench. Hopefully will start in last group stage game against Uzbekistan.

Mali is not just physically more developed team as I was expecting but also well coached and didn't look like they were playing a man down for more than a half. Will follow them for the rest of this tournament and wouldn't be surprised to see them go far.

Good analysis

Who apart from Brazil and Spain is worth a watch here?

Funny as hell that this takes place in a monsoon-ridden area and the match gets called off because one is overhead

Also Poland being Poland - 4 players got sent home because they went on a piss up in Bali
And then the rest can't even run against African champions because it's too hot

 

[Porque]

Probably the Euro teams, Germany and France. Then of course the obligatory African team or two.

Well worth waiting for this tournament to reach the KO.

After beating Brazil Iran are now 1-0 up against England before HT.

And Brazil have put 9 past New Caledonia (no idea what they're doing in World Cup; 0-19 goal difference after 2 games). Kaua Elias with a hatty, Rayan and Estevao also scored.

Also, Argentina already 2-0 against Japan after 10 minutes. @soul24rage Echeverri scored the first.

Spain plays against Uzbekistan right now. They're already qualified for next round so Fort, Cubarsi, Prim, Hernandez and Guiu are rested while Bernal got his first start.

Give us a scouts report. Actually be interesting to see how Quim and Bernal play together.

Ibrahim Diarra scored Mali first btw.

I'm at work so only reading live comments on Sport. 2-1 HT, Oyono who had a good cameo in last game scored first and 15 yo Madrid youngster Roberto Martin added second before they've conceded in last minute. Comments say Bernal and Cuenca are playing well, no mention of Quim though.

Will maybe watch a replay tonight if won't have anything smarter to do.

Ibrahim Diarra scored Mali first btw.

Great to see.
