DPR/North Korea are not be be underestimated. During the recently held U20 WC in Canada, they had a very unlucky draw: In their group they had to play both future finalists Argentina and Czech Republic. Argentina only managed a 1-0 win & the Czechs only managed a draw v them.

By the way imo it's right Bojan was forced to play in this tournament. It's a very good tournament & FIFA should do everything to make sure the best players participate.

Glad to see Arsenal had three players involved for England today, that's encouraging. It's a little disappointing to draw with North Korea but it's not the worst result. They scored very late on but by the sounds of it they deserved the draw. As de Guzman has said the North Korean sides shouldn't just be dismissed, they are good teams. Plus they work exceptionally hard, it must be very difficult playing against them. It should also be remembered that they are more used to the conditions at this WC and seeing as it is being held in South Korea I am sure they are desperate to make an impression at this tournament.

Other countries have to gather players from lots of clubs & only have little time to gel. The DPR Korean team ALWAYS play together, they're a 'club side' with the best players of the country.

Yep.

Plus if they lose their families will be sent to concentration camps. Always an extra incentive to do better.

Group A:
FT South-Korea - Peru 0-1
29' Bazalar 0-1

So how comes Mexico the holders are not even in it?

Champs do NOT automatically qualify. Mexico fucked up in CONCACAF qualification v Honduras & Haiti.

England are lucky they weren't playing the whole of Korea.

Bojan scores 2 for Spain in the 4-2 victory against Hoduras.

@ leo,

Are you watching the games live on Eurosport at 8:00 AM?

Do they broadcast a lot of matches? If so I will watch some later on. For me it's gets interesting the moment teams can be Ko-ed, so I'll start with the last group matches.

Haven't watched anything yet. Only read the match reports on uefa.com.

They're on LIVE on Eurosport but at the early. First games are on 10 AM (today Colombia-Germany), at 1 PM (T&T v Ghana) still going on btw.
There's repeat of the Colombia-Germany game at 14:45 (thus within 20 min).

So far two live games a day (at 10:00 and 13:00)

This morning I watched a couple of minutes to see some of the product of the famed endless conveyor belt. I left to get a coffee later on. They weren't even that $h!t tbh.

Thanks for the eurosport alert, just switched it on. Early kicks offs ain't a problem for me, the baby usually kicks off at about 5.30 am.

Lucky you.

I might catch some of the Germany game, while reading some stuff. It starts in 10 minutes for anyone interested. From the 5 minutes I saw this morning it looked quite organised, quite German - and there was some talent as well.

Group E:

Tadjikistan v USA 4-3
9' Bates 0-1 32' Vasiev 1-1 43' Shozukhurkov 2-1 48' Garza 2-2 53' Schuler 2-3 82' Davronov 3-3 86' Fatkhuloev 4-3

Group F:

Trinidad & Tobago v Ghana 1-4
12' Osei 0-1 44' Osei 0-2 45+1' Adams 0-3 80' Campbell 1-3 85' Bossman 1-4

Apparently that Moses kid for England is hot $h!t. What a cool name too, can already see the tabloid headliners having a field day

3' Welbeck 0-1 7' Moises 0-2 27' Welbeck 0-3 30' Moises 0-4 88' Chambers 0-5

LKO Brazil - DPR Korea (North)

Brazil 4-1 Korea

3-0 after just 8 minutes - 2 goals by Fabio (Man Utds next new left back)

12 goals in 2 matches, New Zealand really are awful.

@Batman

What were Fabios goals like?

What were Fabios goals like?

i missed the first half so i didn't see the goals, but the highlights should be here later on:

http://www.fifa.com/u17worldcup/video/videolist.html

Brazil 6 x 1 Korea

4' Fabio
6' Alex
8' Fabio
22' Maicon
47' Giuliano
90' Choco

Really fun game to watch it, the kids keep on scoring like is the easiest thing in the world, it just a joy, I know this isn’t exactly Brazil’s future team but some "pieces" sure looks interesting.
The ManUnits kids are actually looking like they will be good players, especially Fabio (I am very skeptical about youngsters) also others like Alex, Tales, Lulinha are doing fine.

Brazil 7x 0 New Zealand
Brazil 6x1 Korea

Next target: ENGLAND, that will be fun.

The hosts Seem to be going out:

FT Korean Republic - Costa Rica 0-2
85' Urena 0-1 90' Peralta 0-2

So Juligen
Fabio is an attacking LWB type of player while Rafael is more solid right?
