FIFA World Youth Championship

Just came back from the stadium, pretty good matches.

Brazil - Morocco: It seemed to me the game plan of the Moroccans was to put 9 people behind the ball and let 1 person try to run as far as he can go, and maybe have a crack at the goal if he gets that far, worked pretty well only the red card was fatal.

Argentina - Nigeria: Great match, it was a very even game. Constant pressure from the Nigerians in the first half, man they're fast! Saw nice combinations from both sides. IMO Nigeria should have got at least 1 penalty, but Argentina deserved to win, also taking their road to the final in perspective.
 
Congrats to Argentina for the championship, I think they found very good levels during the tournament as Lionel Messi, Pablo Zabaleta, Fernando Gago or Óscar Ustari; it's a pity for Nigeria, I believed they controlled the match very often and showed players with a very promising future as Jon Obi Mikel, Quincy Owusu-Abeyie or Taye Taiwo.

I liked the nigerian game, here we put us of the side of the african team because they had a very bright play, and probably they appeared in better form than Argentina. It's a pity that haven't finalized of the best form for them.
