    Santon just earned all my love back by going Materazzi on that guy. The guy fouled Santon, Santon shortly after kicked the guy in the chest

    I think he's looked pretty good. Santon/Donati and Crescenzi have been solid in defense on the outside. Most of the Ivory Coast attack has been through the middle. None of the fullbacks have attacked really, but when Crescenzi does he makes good overlaps

    Would have done better if Santone made more runs. They really had no answer when he did. Just much better than whoever his opposition was.

    Colombia dominated Ivory Coast in the first match today 4-1, Italy v Portugal in 15 minutes.

    James Rodriguez was easily the best player, 19 year old who made 15 appearances for Porto this past season including being subbed on in the UEFA Cup final

    France beat Mexico 4-1. The same French team that the U.S. U-20's tied 3-3 a couple weeks ago and even by French reports, we completely outplayed France, and we were without some of our top U-20 players. This U-20 WC is going to be depressing :tebow:

    Final Group A standings:

    1. Columbia - 1 win, 2 draws, 0 losses, GD = +5
    2. Italy - 1 win, 2 draws, 0 losses, GD = +2
    3. Portugal - 1 win, 2 draws, 0 losses, GD = +1
    4. Ivory Coast - 0 wins, 0 draws, 3 losses, GD = -6

    Columbia will face the runner up of Group B, either Hungary or Mexico
    Italy will face the winner of Group B, likely France
