[GirlySports]

Anyone watching? TSN is showing the entire tournament in New Zealand (which is 18 hours ahead of us) on it's channels.
Games are usually one at 7pm and 10pm MT or 10pm and 1am MT.

Brazil and Nigeria right now, 1-1 after 10 minutes, should be more

You never know who is in these tournaments, The 6 European representatives are
Germany, Portugal, Serbia, Ukraine, Austria and Hungary.

Other cool countries in it are Qatar, Myanmar, Fiji, Mali and Uzbekistan.

I watched the Portugal game earlier today.

Brazil are creating a lot of chances right now

[GirlySports]

yup and yesterday I saw Mali beat Mexico 2-0 after two Mexicans got sent off in a minute.

African teams usually do well at this age. They don't seem to be able to make the jump to senior level like other nations

[GirlySports]

Great Nigerian goal. 2-1.

Yeah I think at U-20 level the Africans are physically strong then the rest but at senior level it balances out.

Germany are killing Fiji as expected.

[Quis_Separabit]

2-2. Very exciting game. Not much defending going on

[GirlySports]

Nigeria could use a keeper.

The Germans just hammered poor Fiji.

Back to Group A, NZ-USA will be a great match, too bad it's at 1am

will have to settle for Myanmar (who?)

[shermanator]

Don't kid yourself, Myanmar look like a pretty talented squad. Only lost 2-1 to the US and are keeping pace with Ukraine.

You jinxed them.

[shermanator]

And as soon as I post that, Ukraine get 3 goals in 7 minutes.

[MillerTime GFG]

They're probably more technically sound than Ukraine, but they're just too small...can't compete physically.

[GirlySports]

yeah their star player #9 is 5'2"

Games on tsn2? Lame...

[GirlySports]

Mexico-Uruguay starting now. Mexico needing a win, I expect full shenanigans.

It looks like they're playing in a greenhouse!

[GirlySports]

Fiji!!!!!!

[shermanator]

Even better, it was a Fijian victory over Honduras. I hate Honduras.

I'm loving the football on TV right now. The U20s, Women's World Cup about to begin as well as the u21 Euros - footy in the summer!!!

Crazy tournament, Argentina are out while Fiji are still alive
