U-20 World Cup
I know nobody is watching this because England didn't make the tournament but there is a very worrying trend. The amount of rolling around on the ground and screaming in "pain" is enough to make Neymar blush. Even worse, the refs are consistently falling for it and giving out yellow cards like they are on sale.
The US had a bad loss to Ukraine to start the tourney but they have a Barcelona player and a Freiburg player that are making themselves some money with their play.

NZ won their first game 5-0. It's halftime in their second against Norway and 0-0. I have to go to work and won't see the rest. (sad face emoji)

Why aren’t England there? Aren’t we reigning champions?

Poland got the only auto spot as hosts, but UEFA only got 5 other slots. The qualifying was the 2018 U-19 Championships and Norway beat England 3-0 in a playoff for the final spot.

NZ-Norway finished 2-0. NZ is through to the quarters with a game to play.

This Norway/Honduras match is a smashing. Alf Inge Haland's son has four goals in the first half.

Håarland was born in Leeds. English FA should have been all over that.

They still can can’t they? Unless he’s been called up to the senior squad.

Absurd statline for that game. Furthermore, they are almost certain to miss out on the next round.

The US beat tourney favorite France to get to the quarterfinals. They now play Ecuador, who has looked the best to me from the remaining teams. The tourney has been a lot of good teams wasting a bunch of chances and letting lesser teams take theirs. The last 8 matchups:
Colombia vs Ukraine Italy vs Mali US vs Ecuador South Korea vs Senegal

Although free to air, the only trouble is the games are being broadcast in standard definition by FreeSports (Sky 422) I'm not sure that Poland is in the middle of a tropical monsoon season, but it certainly looks like it.

I have the same problem here in the US. My Dad's cable company (where I'm currently at) doesn't have HD versions of all the channels including the one showing most of the games. (Is this 1997 or something?) The spanish channels (which are all HD) don't appear to show any games that don't include a spanish speaking country or the US.

Andrea Pinamonti who is playing for Italy at the moment has just been called up to the U21 Squad for their Euro tournament too. The lad is going to be shattered by the end of this Summer.
Hope Inter decide to keep him at the club rather than loan him out again next season.

Well, the US lost to Ecuador in the quarters so I'll not be paying attention to the tournament anymore. It happens that the US has their very own John Stones playing in the back. If you take out the times he gave the ball to Ecuador so they could attack, the US dominated the match.
