8 Nations U20 Tournament South Africa Final: Argentina v Brazil

[flippa]

Just went to this U20 Final here in Cape Town (I'm on holiday, was elated to find some footie on)- Brazil won 2-0 (match review here: http://www.supersport.com/football/south-africa/news/120603/Brazil_sink_Argentina_to_clinch_U20_title ) but these two young Argentinean players really impressed (if their numbers match up correctly- no names on the shirts)- they definitely had the pace and the skill for a move to the Premier League... get onto it DM!

First one is a striker- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Manuel_Iturbe

Second is a winger (and damn fast and pushy on and off the ball) -

Was wearing my Everton top, got good comments from the South Africans cos of Pienaar

Also got given a free ticket by a policeman, but that might have been cos I was looking like a pathetic female with no ticket...

Scout flippa. Is right!

Iturbe is a fantastic talent, would cost a lot to get him and i doubt Porto would sell him. I expect to see him a lot more especially with Hulk going to Chelsea.

 

[The T-Dex]

No chance of getting Iturbe, especially with the impending exit of Hulk. Would love it though.

Ace thing to be able to see. Hopefully we will sign a full Argentina attack and play some joga bonito.

well- given that I basically never watch European football, I'm pleased I seemed to have spotted a decent player... now to get him from that pesky Porto...

Was great fun to watch, esp with all those lovely vuvuzelas and a samba band at full blast and the South Africans going nuts over two teams not even from their continent! Would love either of those Argentineans to come play for us though.

Also, got laughed at in the local football store today cos I tried to replace their LFC display with random blue shirts... scouting AND subterfuge all in the same team... now I"m off to chat to the township boys of Khayelitsha about their football team, happy days
