African outfit Congo pulled off the shock of the opening day with a 1-0 win over reigning European champions the Netherlands in Group A. The Dutch bossed possession and chances in the first-half at Morelia’s Estadio Morelos, but a defensive error early in the second allowed the Congolose side to take the lead, and from there they never looked back.

Not good .. :(

Go Go Belgium!

Oh wait :(

I want that Uruguay wins!!!

Vamos Uruguay!!!

Go Burkina Faso! :D

Can I find a broadcast live to any of this matches ?

Eurosport (2) ?

why should I follow. Maybe 3 of all these players will one day be playing in a top team and maybe another 20 in a highest division first team ...

God damn, pretty late are those matches. I didnt check that WC is being played in Mexico :P

That was the past, today many of these players are potential future stars as they are scout and trained well at young age by the top teams.

Eurosport (2) ?

Yes, live on Eurosport and probably many streams.

most players are unable to make that last step. Either they lack the topskill, either the mental skills to make it.

France player veery well last night, they have a great striker.

After the Danish disappointment at the U21 Euro I hope that we'll give a better performance at the U17 World Cup. We'll meet Brazil tomorrow and with the rest of the group being Ivory Coast and Australia it won't be easy. The U17 national team played well at the U17 Euro in Serbia earlier this year and few of the players are already showing some good skills (for example Lucas Andersen, Kenneth Zohore and Viktor Fischer), so advance should be possible nonetheless.

Uruguay 3 - 0 Canada :)

Brazil is leading halftime 1-0 against Denmark in a quite close match. Denmark has had a number of big chances but no goals so far. Hope for some in second half :D
