CONCACAF U20 qualifying (for the cycle ending in 2025) + preparation & news

[gator]

Nice finish, I thought the original pass might have been offside but clearly not, the rain is coming down hard now!

[El Diego]

Goal difference might be important, let's keep pushing

[Bison44]

Some guys are always in the right spot.  Cool finish, now lets get 5 more.  

[Borjans Sweatpants]

Lopez always in the right spot. Great ball by Badwal over the top too. 

Kane looks good (as I say that he gets a yellow lol), and I gotta say Chukwu really impresses me. Consistently playing years older than him, consistently looking calm and collected. 

[Kadenge]

Lopez is a cut above

[Mihairokov]

The size difference between Mathé and Chukwu with the ES forwards is something else

[Borjans Sweatpants]

Well that was a bad mistake by Swiderski for once

[phresh]

Mathe is class, his willingness to carry the ball into midfield creates break downs in defensive coverage. I also like the fact he’s so comfortable with his left, very composed under pressure, athletic, physical. To me his profile is similar to Bombito

Glad he did that today, maybe it means he/we will be more careful in the q-final...

[frattinator]

Has it rained every single day of this tournament?

[Ed_S]

If I was reffing, I think I would have the Cdn keeper wear a different jersey.

[74 Whitecap]

Ref wasn't willing to spend an extra second out in the rain at the end of the half...

They made the coach wear an orange pinnie, too. Surprising Swiderski is so similar.

[Borjans Sweatpants]

Great half. I love how a lot of these guys that are getting game time have looked (Chukwu, Mathe, Kane). Wonder if they’ll get a shot next game. 

KSB a little underwhelming still. And Costa is disappointing.

Mathe, not Marge lol

[gator]

Not a bad half, I thought we started getting sloppy defensively as the half progressed though, a 2nd goal would be huge as that would really open ES up! As I have posted before I am pleased these matches are available to view but these announcers are clowns!

I'm surprised he didn't play in the first 2 games. Is he from CFM?

KSB is at least running more today. Costa is consistently poor on the ball.

This announcer is fine. I'm not sure what the issue could be.

Plays for WFC2

[Kadenge]

Mathe is with the Whitecaps and he's 18. 👌

He's a Panthers fan so I've got his back lol.

I know him from Ligue1 on Bein, I believe.

Normally okay but he tries to go hard on every accent for every player and team.  Even ones he doesn't know.  Funny to me. 

[Borjans Sweatpants]

Chukwu is 16, and not 17 until February

Do you know how he is rated by the club? This is the first time I have seen him play and he looks good.

[74 Whitecap]

El Salvador could potentially be going home if they lose, so you have to think they will push forward more in the 2nd half. The rotation of the roster is looking like the right call so far.

I am always in the same situation. Fox Sports is usually the best. The main page foxsports.com has a link for one hour free trial. Then i open it in chrome and when it expires, you just need to close the page and clear the cache and re open it for another hour.

Worked great for Copa and Euros. But i am not sure if they also have streams for the u20's online.

Thanks for this trick. Using a VPN to say I'm in the States and tried the cache trick, it worked and I got my hour back for the second half!

Now I know I have free access to Fox Sports Live, I wonder what else they show...
