Asian Youth Games soccer

The Asian Youth Games starts on 29.06.09 in Singapore. This is the Asian Games for under 14’s, a prelude to the Youth Olympic Games to be held in Singapore next year. As is the practice with multi-sport events of this nature the soccer group matches have started earlier.

China is in the same group as South Korea, Myanmar and Pakistan.

Results so far:

China 7 – Myanmar 3;
South Korea 2 – Pakistan 0.


China 0 – Pakistan 0;
South Korea 5 – Myanmar 1.


As you can see the Chinese u-14 team has plenty of potential. It is already playing like the national team.

Meanwhile the Hong Kong and Philippine teams have been quarantined as some of their players have come down with H1N1.

 

Results:
South Korea 3 - China 2;
Pakistan 1 - Myanmar 1.

S. Korea qualifies for knockout stage with 100 % record (9 points)
while China qualifies (4 points) thanks to Myanmar.

Lets hope China improves as the Games progress.
