Ecuador in the 2011 FIFA U-17 World Cup

The coach had an ace up his sleeve.

Well I believe we can win and still miss out if Panama beats Germany which is unlikely but you never know, since Germany is already qualified they may lose focus.

I agree I was thinking the same thing why are they acting like this what do they care? It's one thing to do it when Mexico is playing one can assume it's done to deter the opponents focus but to do it at this level and in games that have nothing to do with Mexico seems pointless to me. All they are doing is presenting a bad image and at the end one team wins(In this case Ecuador) so they end up getting shut up no matter what.

With six points, we should make it as best 3rd for sure.

Oh yeah I forgot about best 3rd.

Does anyone know why renato ibarra is not on this team didn't he play the Qualifiers? aslo isn't cazares 17? I just recall us having a different team in the qualifiers.

No man, they are from the U-20 NT

This is the U17. They players you mentioned are on the U20 squad. Their world cup will start later.

This team has shown that they can at least hold on to the ball, but they lack ideas during build up play and even fast breaks. Keep mercado over troya and teach that keeper how to build a defensive wall please. That win was relieving but we shouldn't have suffered so much, we need to begin to prove that that we've grown as a soccer nation. Btw totally off topic but the new jersey look ugly, they failed on the retro look.

that kid joel valencia should have been a starter,he did well and provided the pass for the win.I liked how he changed our attack and wasnt afraid to take it to them.got to either put batioja for first half or benching him will suit him nice.finally give these kids some "quaker" they need it.

Holy Crap!!!! Holland!!! Going home with a single point.


Group included;
Mexico 9pts
Congo 4pts
N Korea 2 pts

Also, in goup B. Japan (7) and France (5) advance while Argentina with 3 points must wait for other results to see if they get "best 3rd" to advance.

Jamaica (1) went home. Interesting Tourney so far.

Anyone know where I can watch the game manana? I don't get that espn3 service down here. Any ideas?

FIFA.com is streaming some of the matches, but that is only available in some caountries. Otherwise, try http://www.atdhenet.tv/index.html

o cool ty I thought that site was shut down.

It was, they got a different URL.

Anyone watching this? still 0-0 a few minutes before the half. Germany 2-0 vs Panama.

Didn't get to watch 1st half. How did they play?

Going to watch 2nd half. How did they play te 1st half?

Lol...is this Siempre Azul???? I wasn't watching. Watching Germany dismantle Panama instead.

Lol sorry for the double post. Joel Valencia tearing it up! He just came in too. Terrible finishing like always though. How can Ecuador improve on that kn every level? Cause it seems like from U17 - the NT can't seem to know how to finish.

If the scores stay the same, Ecuador goes to the next round in 2nd place.

Omg how many chances we just had already! We need to start producing forwards!

Edit: Goal! Cevallos.

Gol from cevallos, very nice.

another goal just a few mins apart!
