Interesting second half. First half was rubbish.
But I've got to say that the refs in this tournament are simply dishing out cards anyhow. That was no red card!
Spain could have leveled the game from the spot but they blew it. . .Good goal keeping from the Italian goalkeeper.

Spain 1- 3 Italy.

wow this is very interesting

Paraguay 0 - 3 Korea Republic.

Surprise, surprise

THE DAY REPLAYED - There was a dramatic beginning to the Round of 16 of the FIFA U-20 World Cup Egypt 2009, as Italy and Korea Republic pulled off shock wins against their more-fancied opponents.

Despite dominating for most of their showdown in Cairo, tournament favourites Spain had to bow to the superior finishing of the Italians, while the Asians proved too good for a Paraguay side that failed to live up to the expectations they had generated in the first round.


Results
Spain 1-3 Italy
Paraguay 0-3 Korea Republic

Goal of the day
Paraguay 0-3 Korea Republic, Kim Min-Woo 60
Already one goal to the good thanks to Kim Bo Kyung's opener, the Taeguk Warriors underlined their superiority when Kim Min Woo added a second five minutes later. Collecting a pass on the right of the Paraguayan box, the Yonsei University man shaped as if to play a pass out to the other wing before unleashing a fierce drive past startled Albirroja goalkeeper Joel Silva.

Memorable moments
Last-ditch defence: On top for long periods against their old rivals, ten-man Spain were rarely troubled in defence, until their opponents took the lead that is. Suddenly goalkeeper Sergio Asenjo found himself frequently in action, and never more so than when a long ball came sailing over the top of the Spanish defence and into the path of Mattia Mustacchio.

This is what I have to say.

If y'all can remember, I mentioned that Siasia's ONLY crime is selecting the wrong players (don't come here and tell me he had only 3 months. . .y'all know what can be achieved in 3 months  ) and sometimes playing them out of position. It's hard for me to understand why he kept on playing Nwankwo as a defender when it is clear the guy is a natural MF. Maybe there is nothing wrong in that but are there no more defenders in the squad?

To those saying that we shouldn't have even gotten to this round? I ask you, how good was Costa Rica before getting to the QF? Need I remind you about Spain who started brightly but . . .well the rest they say is history.

Yesterday was a golden chance for the boys to prove their class and moreso that it was a match they could have won. Everything worked to their favor but they blew it right at the end.

Who is to blame? Well, normally it is the coach because he could have won that match with FE's numerical advantage. Not only did he fail to do that, it also took some 5-6 minutes to replace an injured player. Frankly speaking, I've never seen such.
Haruna? I don't even want to talk about him. It's a complete waste of time.


Yes FE lost but there are some positives (even if they are few) to take from the team. Rabiu Ibrahim, Uche Okafor (Goal keeper) and Obiora Nwankwo (he is very good when playing as a DM). Sorry but I cannot say anything about the rest of the team.

As for Siasia, I think he just blew his chance to take over the SE. He could have easily become a hero.

FE shouldn't have lost last night. Simply unbelievable.

PS: Now I'm waiting for Dayokanu to come and blow his trumphet. Strange he wasn't here last night.

^^ We are talking about Germany here not hopeless England.

The Germans went a man down and still played bravely winning on nerit with Bayern younster Bjorn Kopplin teaching em lessons
