There seems to be no showings on cable (USA) for the U-20 championships. I looked it up on youtube live and was able to find a stream. Looking forward to this game against Brasil
They are playing pretty good so far both Brazil and Ecuador have had their chances. Rojas, Cabezas, and Segovia looking nice
Estupiñan is playing well too. Unfortunate that Cabezas had to come off. Didn't see the red card but apparently Vargas deserved it. Not looking good for Ecuador for the rest of the game.
WTF did that forward not move on that last chance for goal? He just stood there while his team mate had a chance for to pass for a goal. What a terrible technique. Who the ******** is teaching these kids? What a retard. How did you stay there and not get open for a goal?
They played much better being one man down, but they completely lost it they let their frustrations get to them. These kids couldn't make a simple pass at times. But to get to the point they sucked in those last 25.
They really were going back and forth in the first half. A red card in the first minute of the second half definitely made things more difficult. Jordan Sierra and Ayovi looked good off the bench. Also, what a shitty thing to do in the second half by Joao Rojas. Pretended to be injured and didn't give the ball back after Brazil kicked it out of bounds on purpose.
That wasn't his fault. He actually played it really smart and by staying back he made himself open while the defenders moved forward. Only problem was that his teammate made a terrible pass and it went straight to a defender.
These kids are.... terrible. And to think we didn't "need" the kids in Europe. The U20 coach sucks ass. It's been proven over and over again. The worst part is that this tournament is in Ecuador lol. Pure embarrassment.
Last game of the first round and a big one against Paraguay if we draw we could be looking at a tie-breaker as they are the same on goal difference and goals scored. Brazil have qualified with 7pts while Ecuador, Paraguay, Colombia and Chile all fight for the last spot. A win for any team means they'll make it. I got Brazil, Ecuador, and Colombia making it out of this group and Argentina, Uruguay, and Bolivia in the next, should make make for a tough final round
I can't believe Brazil made such HUGE mistakes! One of the stupidest mistakes I've seen lol. Thank you Brazil!
U20 vale verga. Cevallos and that defense are wack. Got lucky against Brazil. Now losing to Venezuela and this is at home. No midfield what's so ever and to think we didn't call up the kid from Chelsea to help in the mid ?! Cabezas disappeared. Roja overrated big time. Our forwards? Do we have any?! The only reason we made it out this far is because we are playing in Ecuador. If not the U20 is one of the worst I've seen from the last 2-3 generations. Why are we not calling the kids from Europe?! Doesn't make any sense at all. Can anyone tell me why that coach still even coaching at all? Something smell fishy again in Ecuador.
I always tell people Joao Joshimar Rojas is overrated and will most likely end up being as good as the one in Cruz Azul AT BEST and people think I'm hating or I'm crazy. That kid is average. Same with this kid Ayrton Preciado. He's a bit better than Rojas, but nothing spectacular. Not sure why people think Emelec had such amazing signings because they didn't. They're gambling with those signings. Preciado I'm pretty sure will have success, but he's not that great either. Rojas is nothing out of this world. Now when you speak of Gabriel Cevallos he actually IS a good keeper. He has lots of talent and I'm sure he will continue to develop it. I wouldn't be surprised if he beats Erick Viveros and Leonel Nazareno to become Liga's 2nd substitute keeper. Don't be surprised if it happens. This NT has NO style of playing. Juegan al puro pelotazo. Rodriguez has done a terrible and horrific job with this NT. These kids are lost on the field. The real reason we've even had positive results in this tournament at any point is because these kids have "garra". They have attitude more than anything. That's what's won us games. Not our futbol, but our garra. Surprising to think we depend on that.
Javier Rodriguez Coached the U-17 and I honestly dont think he ever did a bad Job with them. Why he is doing a bad job with the U-20 doesnt make any sense to me. At this point with Vizuete out we will need to find new u-17 and 20 coaches. I wounder if Aguinaga would be interested in coaching the u-20. Not sure of any name that come to mind to coach them.
