Squads - Each team must name a squad of 21 players (three of whom must be goalkeepers) by the FIFA deadline. All players of its representative team were born on or after 1 January 1998. Qualified teams - The final draw will be held on 6 August 2015 in Santiago, Chile.
In the Americas I expect the USA, Brazil, Mexico, and Chile to be good. The USA have had our number for the past two years in the Nike Tournament. Brazil are always pretty good, plus they won the past Nike Tournament. Argentina is never dominating at this level and we did beat them in that penalty shootout in the round of 16 in 2011. EDIT: Argentina actually finished in 4th place in 2013. Mexcio, based on the last 2 WC's is very good. Won in 2011 and finished runner-up in 2013.
Anyone wishing to can watch the draw tonight at midnight our time - while you wait for the first Republican nomination debate with The Donald on Fox News. See: http://www.thefa.com/news/england/development/2015/aug/fifa-u17s-world-cup-chile-2015-draw-060815
Well it is FIFA so... I pray that they don't have some special performance by a band that no one else outside of Chile has ever heard of.
I think the bald guy was talking about past players that played in the U17 finals and have made it big. I heard Isco and Toni Kroos names come up among others. Like we all need a lesson. Subtitles would've been nice.
If we draw a good team in the groups, our players are guaranteed to get experience of playing against a good team. Isn't that the point of being there, or at least a large part of it?
Group A will be the group of death. Chile, USA, and Nigeria. Group D with Mali, Honduras, and Ecudor is very weak.
Don't see why not, to be honest. That would be three useful games guaranteed, which is more than we might get if we draw an easy group and go through.
