U-20 World Cup Debut
The young guns of Argentina will begin their U-20 World Cup campaign tomorrow, against a not so familiar opponent - Czech Republic.
This Czech side has the potential to pull of a surprise draw, or even a win over our U-20 team, despite our youngsters being the favorites of this tournament. As put forward by their star forward Thomas Pekhart, "Argentina are the favourites, but we've got to go and play our game. This match will show us exactly where we are, and I honestly think we can spring a surprise."
Argentina U-20 keeper Sergio Romero responded: "We've got a number of objectives at this tournament, but the main one is to play seven games. That's what we're here for and we're hopeful of achieving just that."
Don't be upset because the whole country is focusing on Copa America. We care about you youngsters just as much. Don't forget, you are the future of Albicelestes. You're wearing the same jersey so many of our heros had worn.
