ESPN to broadcast US vs Brazil U-20 World Cup match tonight
Just a programming note for any soccer fans who were bummed they didn't get to see the team's amazing performance against Poland on ESPNU (let's not mention the horrible South Korea game). The game will be simulcast on ESPN and the U at 6:30 PM central time.
Group D Standings (through July 5th) Pos. Tm W-D-L F-A (DIF) Pts 1. USA 1-1-0 7-2 (+5) 4 2. Brazil 1-0-1 3-3 (0) 3 3. Poland 1-0-1 2-6 (-4) 3 4. Korea Rep. 0-1-1 3-4 (-1) 1 Practically speaking, the US would have to experience a massive meltdown in order to fail to qualify for the next round, but this is a really interesting test. The US had a tough time against South Korea, being unbelievably lucky to scratch out a draw, while Brazil stuck it to them until the Koreans began applying a ton of pressure in the last ten minutes. Against Poland, on the other hand, Brazil failed to capitalize on a man advantage for around 70 minutes and lost 1-0, while the slowly grew into the game and absolutely ripped the Poles to shreds with stunning goals and total domination. Moral of the story? Youth teams can be brilliant or completely disappear. We'll see what happens tonight. |
