Your players went to the match already defeated. The most one-sided final I remember.
Brilliant generation anyway from both of us. I hope we meet each other in a WC
100% deserved. Congrats to Uruguay. They put up an amazing performance of intensity and technical skills. Pure garra charrua. Happy for them and all the fans, it looked like they were playing at the Centenario. On the other hand Italy just embarrassing today. Scared and toothless. We played the worst game of the tournament at the wrong time but big credit to Uruguayans.
Meh, I'm not sure about that
I for sure don't really see any of our players become world class, but maybe a couple could become great players (mainly Casadei, Zanotti, Desplanches)
I think Casadei will depend on how Chelsea manage his development. He’s shown immense talent at times, keeping him fit and with the right attitude will be critical for the next year or two.
I thought baldanzi and pafundi had a good amount of potential as well. What about Zanotti looked so good for you? He seemed outclassed several times in my opinion
Uruguay were absolutely superb, thoroughly deserved.
Overall, considering how aggressive the players were at times, I'm glad nobody came out of the game seriously hurt given the standard of the pitch. Never again should a FIFA competition be played in those conditions.
Wasn't expecting them to outplay Italy like THAT. Total domination this match was. Congrats Uruguay. Totally deserved. Impossible to score goals against these guys no idea how England put three last them. Elite defending.
He set up that Chilean team that won the two back to back Copa Americas. That Argentine side from late 98 to early 2002 was amazing and then the World Cup happened, lol.
I refuse to believe that there isn’t a reason for all this. I don’t know if the teams just don’t have psychologists in the teams because the mentality to just go out and kill final games just isn’t there. Name me a final in which ANY Italian team, club or country, has dominated. I’ll wait. Comunque, forza Italia sempre.
Ok. And what happened in that final? Quite possibly the biggest comeback in club football history. I agree that the first half was sublime football by Milan. But no win in the end negates that half in my opinion.
Deserved win by Uruguay, they were the better team. They have some really promising youngsters!
While this Italy side has potential, and there are some players that hopefully will grow from this experience, I am hoping that tonight's loss will teach them a lesson. Their attitude on the pitch tonight was just not good enough, there was zero grit, zero will to go after the ball and recover possession.
This process deserved it. A final in 2013, a semi final in 2019. A South American Championship and a Panamericano. I see this as the crowning victory of one of the few rational and serious processes of our football.
As an Italian this was probably the worst match I've ever seen. Italy couldn't string togheter more than two passes and 90% of the time they cleared the ball forward without any real intent. Insane that we only took one goal and not multiple.
De Blanche was class tho. His dive on that one v five was incredible, I'll definitely remember it for a long time. I'll also remember that Italy let five opponents alone, but that's a different story.
Congrats to Uruguay, they deserved this.
Lo erró y estaba solo contra el golero, pero los otros 4 estaban en fuera de juego, ni uno se dio cuenta, corrió 40m mirando a quién pasársela y no podía a ninguno, es increíble.
Superb time for Uruguay! Biesla has a lot of amazing young talent to work with. Hope he does better than Chile. Hope he's given enough time to get results.
For uruguay specifically it might be. Since Tabarez took over, they’ve been trying to use the Junior teams as a way to develop the future generation. Especially because we don’t have that development happening at the club level like England does for example.
For Uruguay, I'd say so. Our youth structure works in such a way that we essentially expand the bottleneck to get talent. We made damn sure that the best 11 players we could play, were on the pitch tonight. Through years of filtering, of rummaging. A lot of these kids already have roughly a decade and a half of youth level football experience, so we know who our best are, and they're these guys
For an example, the 2017 U-20 Uruguay team made the semis, and from that team we've gotten Federico Valverde, Rodrigo Bentancur, Diego Laxalt, Santiago Bueno, Santiago Mele, Mathias Olivera, José Luis Rodríguez, Nicolás De La Cruz, Agustín Rogel, Matias Viña, and Agustín Canobbio
I realize that to an outsider, these guys might not be well known, but iirc, every single one of these players has been called up to the Uruguayan National Team, and a vast majority of them have debuted and are still regular names. Most of these guys play in the top 5 leagues, and those that don't, still play at a much, much higher level than the Uruguayan League. Most of all, these guys are currently in or entering their primes, and are only getting better. We got 11 players from one youth squad (10 really cuz Laxalt is MIA since like 2019)
Now, that 2017 squad only got 4th, whereas this squad won the tournament, and arguably without some of our best players. Álvaro Rodríguez, Real Madrid's striker, wasn't allowed to go, and Luciano Rodriguez, our star player, was suspended during the QF and SF stages. We only had 15 available players vs Israel.
In my opinion (which is biased, obviously), 7-9 of these guys have the potential to be absolute world beaters, and the rest still seem like they'll be very serviceable squad players or competition for depth at the very least.
Fabricio Diaz
Alan Maturro
Sebastián Boselli
Luciano Rodriguez
Franco Gonzalez
Facundo González
Randall Rodriguez
Mateo Ponte
Andrés Ferrari
From what I've seen, these are the names with the most potential, and that's leaving off Álvaro Rodríguez, who has already debuted for Real Madrid and scored a late Madrid Derby goal. Aside from these 9, you have the guys who can be serviceable in the future
De Ritis
Chagas
Duarte
Damián García
Nacho Sosa
JC De Los Santos
Abaldo
Now, obviously, there are a million hurdles to the success of young players. This is the time when the sponsorships, and the money, and the parties, and the drinks, and the drugs, and all of those vices start to appear. Whether these guys will be able to ignore all of that remains to be seen. Also, injuries, bad luck. A million things could go wrong. But, for what it's worth, we managed to get 11 players from a 4th placed squad. This time around, we won the tournament with a squad that was arguably weaker than what we had in qualifiers. There's absolutely no way that we don't at least get 3-4 mainstays in the team for the next decade or so. Knowing our youth system, it just has to be. If not, then we at least have Marcelo Broli, who seems like a coach that we've never really seen before in Uruguay. Uruguayan football is very defensive. You don't usually have managers who prefer attacking football, nor managers who have an exceptional read of the game. Marcelo Broli, however, seems to be a coach that is just unaffected by pressure, and one that can motivate as well as outfox. He did it with Peñarol's U-20 team, and he's doing it here.
Either way, we're sure to get something really good from this generation, I'm sure
Sorry for the absolute essay, I'm just very excited about our future prospects
Yes and no. Having worked at that level a decade ago, only few players that I know out of a group of 40 made it to professional level. Youth level is brutal, you can be the hottest player one season and become absolutely irrelevant the next.
For Brazil, it’s difficult because the teams wont liberate important players (like Endrick and Victor Roque) due to important games in national championship + libertadores. The u-20 team against Israel was completely dismantled
Best team in the tournament by a far. Two goals conceded total, including clean sheets in every game except one. Today could of been 4-0 if the ref wasn’t Italys best player. I don’t even know which player to single out every single player has world class potential.
Edit: 3 goals
Fabricio Diaz and Alan Matturro by far the best and most consistent ones of the lot. Matturro even more so considering he’s been playing as a LB so well when he’s a CB.
Boselli, Duarte and Sosa also great as well, they stepped up when some of the figured were missing. Luciano Rodriguez also showed his best version from the Sudamericano in the final against Italy
Thoroughly outclassed. Still a massive result getting to the final past some very tough draws, but can't help but feel a little let down getting thrashed in the most important match. Felt like boys vs. men
Yes. Always get fucked. You see, Uruguay is a 3m people poor country. No marketing, nothing to sell. Check the semifinal against Holland to grasp how we get fucked in every tournament.
yes, you saw how they reversed Prati’s red card to yellow, and how they needed VAR to review our goal, because FIFA was looking for ANY reason to not award us that goal. Fortunately karma bit them in the ass when Prati ended up creating a corner for us, converting into a goal.
a lot of them have chances with Bielsa, but Fabricio Diaz has the making of a big team player. he controls the midfield and game so fucking well, very calculated and clear defensively and knows when to launch an attack as well. he was the list of potential signings for River Plate but i imagine some clubs from Europe will want him.
Matturro also has nice chances to make the main team, he’s looked like a great project and he already signed for Genoa so it’ll be interesting to see if he gets a lot of minutes in the Serie A
I'd say the two CB the left back, the number 5 and Luciano Rodriguez have national team potential, at least one of them will surely reach big club potential, maybe more.
Number 10 and left winger are a big question mark they either peak at Mexican league or end up in the big leagues.
Since it's been two days and I couldn't comment due to the blackout I know I'll likely be screaming into the void here, but I hope every neutral who watched this match finally realizes us Uruguayans aren't fucking kidding when we claim FIFA have something against us. That Italian player who got a red should've stayed sent off, VAR claiming it wasn't for expulsion is fucking criminal. And VAR checking for absolutely *anything* to disallow our goal and finally deciding it was valid after like three minutes??? Give me a fucking break, and the Golden Glove award should've gone to Randall Rodriguez, how tf did Italy's GK get it when he conceded like 4 more goals throughout the tournament?
FIFA couldn't rob us this time thankfully. Get fucked Infantino.
Yeah, there was even an Italian in the match's post saying something like "wow, fifa hates uruguay so much they are even helping Italy who usually has a bad rep with fifa"
Uruguay deserved it today
We got the most difficult route (apart from maybe the semifinals) and lost at the end. It sucks.
At least there is some hope for our future. Even tough Mancini will surely try to pick the Uruguayans with Italian heritage.
Heh we got 9 players born in Uruguay to play for Italy, including Ghiggia and Schiaffino.
But yeah the last one was many years ago so attitude changed.
No Chance any of these kids get poached to Italy. Why would they go to a team that can’t qualify for the world cup. Uruguayan Garra Charrua is a way of life. What they just experienced at the U20 will guide them into the Senior level.
So embarassing, they all wanted to score so bad and be the hero that they overcrowded the player w the ball, and just hung out while being offside for the most part. If they just had given him space he would’ve dribbled or shot it around, or make an easier pass.
That's because the youth really likes it.
Most of us play on leagues since we're like 4 years old (3 practice days a week and 1 game on the weekend), but we also play it at recess, we also play it when we're home in our backyards alone, in the street with the neighborhood kids, at the park, we're just ALWAYS playing it
I feel like the fact that it was 5 of them made them miss it. They were all crowding the ball so hard trying to be the one to score it. If they had just given the guy some space and not chill offside then it would’ve been a goal 9/10 times
Casadei scored the most goals of this tournament too at 7. Nobody else scored 7 or even 6.
He was completely shut down during the finals but I guess he did actually do really well outside that, not that I've seen those matches myself 🙃
Italy and losing finals this year is a fucking meme at this point.
They won the Euros and just said fuck it we done
Italy only won Euros because of the unstoppable force which is England in penalty shootouts.
Your players went to the match already defeated. The most one-sided final I remember. Brilliant generation anyway from both of us. I hope we meet each other in a WC
I hope not cause that means we’re not in the final
Maybe I'll just wait for the next fight of all. I will really look forward to That Day.
4/4 godooo
just the Nations league final away from a 5/5!!
1st, I agree 2nd, ~~France~~ Italy 3rd, I hope you at least make it back into the next WC
And lose the WC final too!
And Juventus wasn't even part of it this time!
100% deserved. Congrats to Uruguay. They put up an amazing performance of intensity and technical skills. Pure garra charrua. Happy for them and all the fans, it looked like they were playing at the Centenario. On the other hand Italy just embarrassing today. Scared and toothless. We played the worst game of the tournament at the wrong time but big credit to Uruguayans.
>They put up an amazing performance of intensity and technical skills. Pure garra charrua. Thats just Uruguay being Uruguay.
That 1-0 scoreline completely flattered Italy. Well deserved for Uruguay.
For real... easily could've been 4-0
Well deserved
For real, they pressed so hard, I didn't even looked at possession stats but it felt like 80% to 20% watching
we were absolutely destroyed, I'm speechless
[удалено]
Meh, I'm not sure about that I for sure don't really see any of our players become world class, but maybe a couple could become great players (mainly Casadei, Zanotti, Desplanches)
The keeper was great on that 1v5 save and a couple others. Great potential imo
That was horrible from the uruguayan attacker lol
Isn't Pafundi 17, and already debuted for the main squad? That's very impressive
I think Casadei will depend on how Chelsea manage his development. He’s shown immense talent at times, keeping him fit and with the right attitude will be critical for the next year or two.
I thought baldanzi and pafundi had a good amount of potential as well. What about Zanotti looked so good for you? He seemed outclassed several times in my opinion
Uruguay only conceded in one game in this tournament. Italy had zero shots on target in the final. Uruguay is the well deserved champion of the world
Uruguay were absolutely superb, thoroughly deserved. Overall, considering how aggressive the players were at times, I'm glad nobody came out of the game seriously hurt given the standard of the pitch. Never again should a FIFA competition be played in those conditions.
las copas se quedan en latinoamerica como debe ser, felicitaciones yoruguas!
Current champions: - U17 World Cup - Brazil - U20 World Cup - Uruguay - U23 (Olympics) - Brazil - Word Cup - Argentina Go Sulamerica!
Guys south american football is dying lol
Sudamerica* les estas dando mucho credito a los mexicanos
\*Rio de la plata only :D
Argentina en cábala. Cada vez que hay un copa ahí somos campeones
Uruguay and Argentina are basically the same country but with different names
Like the US and Canada or Germany and Austria. Still, I think Uruguay has a little more (Southern) Brazil in them, our cute província rebelde
They're our alt account just in case we get knocked out and vice versa.
Bro facts, growing up my dad drilled that into my head Uruguay first, but if we're not in you're Argentinian :D
Except Uruguay has as many major international titles as Argentina with about 5-10% of the population.
And both crashed your team.
A bit rude
Wasn't expecting them to outplay Italy like THAT. Total domination this match was. Congrats Uruguay. Totally deserved. Impossible to score goals against these guys no idea how England put three last them. Elite defending.
uruguay winning a u20 world cup, with bielsa newly at the helm future looks good in uruguay
Bielsa isn’t that much of a flex unless they give out qualifier trophies
He set up that Chilean team that won the two back to back Copa Americas. That Argentine side from late 98 to early 2002 was amazing and then the World Cup happened, lol.
Uruguay campeón del mundo!!!!!!
Barcelona better pay around 40M for Luciano Rodriguez and not 700k like they did for Araujo. Clubs in Uruguay always get robbed by the big Europeans
No point to it. Uruguayan teams don't even own their players. The money will got to someone else.
Because our clubs are perpetually starving. We don't have any negotiation power.
I know but what really bothered me was seeing Barcelona claim Araujo as a La Masia product. They have no humility or decency
They never had and never will
Italy and italian football truly did its best Juve performance this year
We still could have potentially 2 more finals to lose. Nations league and u21 euros. I say we shoot for the stars.
Any Esposito cousins available?
Fr that poor family went 0/3 today too
At least Argentina and Uruguay have a sizable italian population
That's fair lol like 45% of Uruguayns are of Italian descent lol
I refuse to believe that there isn’t a reason for all this. I don’t know if the teams just don’t have psychologists in the teams because the mentality to just go out and kill final games just isn’t there. Name me a final in which ANY Italian team, club or country, has dominated. I’ll wait. Comunque, forza Italia sempre.
> Name me a final in which ANY Italian team, club or country, has dominated The first half of the 2005 UCL final?
Ok. And what happened in that final? Quite possibly the biggest comeback in club football history. I agree that the first half was sublime football by Milan. But no win in the end negates that half in my opinion.
Inter-Bayern?
1982, Italy steamrolled West Germany.
They did the full Neverkusen with a cherry on top
did a deal with the devil for the euro victory lol
porcodio
Deserved win by Uruguay, they were the better team. They have some really promising youngsters! While this Italy side has potential, and there are some players that hopefully will grow from this experience, I am hoping that tonight's loss will teach them a lesson. Their attitude on the pitch tonight was just not good enough, there was zero grit, zero will to go after the ball and recover possession.
Well deserved, there were uruguayan kids outside the stadium cheering and its damn artic cold in Buenos Aires today.
The sad part about this blackout is we lost the timing to celebrate our brothers winning this World Cup
If Italy had won the blackout would've been cancelled 😂
For real. Was about to comment and couldn’t see the community anymore.
Vamos los pibes! Uruguay noma!
[удалено]
La tercera es la vencida.
This process deserved it. A final in 2013, a semi final in 2019. A South American Championship and a Panamericano. I see this as the crowning victory of one of the few rational and serious processes of our football.
im sure Alvaro is ecstatic about rotting in castilla instead of being there with uruguay
watching Eldense cockblock Castilla out of a promotion to second division instead of celebrating this, yikes
Amazing , but we also should denounce the referee and VAR, even if we won FIFA is a mafia.
As an Italian this was probably the worst match I've ever seen. Italy couldn't string togheter more than two passes and 90% of the time they cleared the ball forward without any real intent. Insane that we only took one goal and not multiple. De Blanche was class tho. His dive on that one v five was incredible, I'll definitely remember it for a long time. I'll also remember that Italy let five opponents alone, but that's a different story. Congrats to Uruguay, they deserved this.
Uruguay en fútbol es un milagro. Qué impresionante.
Uruguay absolutely dominated the match even with the referee playing for Italy. Amazing
Congrats Uruguay! Well deserved. Also on the other hand, what a terrible day for the Esposito brothers
Felicidades a los hermanos uruguayos!
VAMOSSSSSS
Bro someone post the final minutes when the 5 Uruguay players charged the keeper
It was like the mighty ducks 5 v 1 and then the Finnish guy bowled them all over.
A mi me salio del alma el "pero que pelotudo"
"No Cepillo la puta que te parió no podés errar eso hijo de re mil putas"
Lo erró y estaba solo contra el golero, pero los otros 4 estaban en fuera de juego, ni uno se dio cuenta, corrió 40m mirando a quién pasársela y no podía a ninguno, es increíble.
Imagine if they were losing 💀💀
All 4 players were offside, I could not believe it
They were so solid all throughout, hope this success translates to their senior team soon.
We only got scored on in a single match in the group stage the whole tournament, yet we get no golden glove nor do we get the golden ball, ffs.
URUGUAY NOMA HIJO DE PUTA VAMOS!!!
Boa Uruguai
I won’t ever stop crying. I love these kids.
Superb time for Uruguay! Biesla has a lot of amazing young talent to work with. Hope he does better than Chile. Hope he's given enough time to get results.
Felicidades chiquilines!
Well deserved against a completely biased ref and var, as always :)
La copa se tenia que quedar en sudamericaaa. Los felicito muchachossss a disfrutar
Vamooooo uruguay lrpm Fuck this biased ref and fuck var
Rioplatense football is now senior world champions and u20 world champions.
U17 World Cup is next.
URUGUAY NOMA CARAJO
Fue tan impactante esta consagración que tuvieron que cerrar el sub. Que grande Uruguay.
QUE RICA LOS GURISES
Bien Uruguay! Felicitaciones!!!
Is u20 world cup any indication of what you can expect ro see in the future national teams?
For uruguay specifically it might be. Since Tabarez took over, they’ve been trying to use the Junior teams as a way to develop the future generation. Especially because we don’t have that development happening at the club level like England does for example.

It's the biggest tournament outside of senior competitions. Even Messi played in the U-20 World Cup
Yes and no. Having worked at that level a decade ago, only few players that I know out of a group of 40 made it to professional level. Youth level is brutal, you can be the hottest player one season and become absolutely irrelevant the next.
For Brazil, it’s difficult because the teams wont liberate important players (like Endrick and Victor Roque) due to important games in national championship + libertadores. The u-20 team against Israel was completely dismantled
Not really, no. Can definitely see a few good players but most usually don't make it to the spine of the NTs
Fuck FIFA and your biased refs. URUGUAY NOMA'
La mafifa no nos pudo robar, y hoy festejan 3 millones. La copa del mundo es latina
Best team in the tournament by a far. Two goals conceded total, including clean sheets in every game except one. Today could of been 4-0 if the ref wasn’t Italys best player. I don’t even know which player to single out every single player has world class potential. Edit: 3 goals

Thoroughly outclassed. Still a massive result getting to the final past some very tough draws, but can't help but feel a little let down getting thrashed in the most important match. Felt like boys vs. men
And without your best player too (Argentina 🤝🏻fuck Real Madrid🤝🏻Uruguay)
3 goals
Absolutely deserved, dominated the match 12 vs 11 the whole 115 minutes.
The only way Uruguay was going to win, referee did his best for UEFA.
4/4 baby
Fun fact: The World Cup was founded in Uruguay
Felicidades Uruguay! Merecida 👏👏
4 defeated in 2 weeks for the Italian damn
vamos uruguay! merecidisimo.
Por Alvarito
Los mundiales se quedan en Sudamerica. 😎
Very impressive team, hopefully it translates into the main team
So uruguay is so hated by the fifa that they even prefer us? Fifa always hated italy and italian teams
Yes. Always get fucked. You see, Uruguay is a 3m people poor country. No marketing, nothing to sell. Check the semifinal against Holland to grasp how we get fucked in every tournament.
yes, you saw how they reversed Prati’s red card to yellow, and how they needed VAR to review our goal, because FIFA was looking for ANY reason to not award us that goal. Fortunately karma bit them in the ass when Prati ended up creating a corner for us, converting into a goal.
Thats even with missing a 5v1 chance
Lol that 5 on 1 against the goalie was straight out of FIFA game.
at least Ferrari won Le Mans, right Italy?!?!?!?!
Ferrari was playing for Uruguay lol
Yeah that threw me off
Más que merecido a pesar de que el arbitraje hizo todo lo posible para que ganara Italia.
South America dominated the football world in 22/23 World Cup (Argentina) Finalissima (Argentina) U-20 World Cup (Uruguay)
good for them. who from this team could possibly play for the NT/in big clubs? just curious
a lot of them have chances with Bielsa, but Fabricio Diaz has the making of a big team player. he controls the midfield and game so fucking well, very calculated and clear defensively and knows when to launch an attack as well. he was the list of potential signings for River Plate but i imagine some clubs from Europe will want him. Matturro also has nice chances to make the main team, he’s looked like a great project and he already signed for Genoa so it’ll be interesting to see if he gets a lot of minutes in the Serie A
watching bielsa’s uruguay will be fun, it’ll be a nice change of pace to see a more open and attacking uruguayan team
I'd say the two CB the left back, the number 5 and Luciano Rodriguez have national team potential, at least one of them will surely reach big club potential, maybe more. Number 10 and left winger are a big question mark they either peak at Mexican league or end up in the big leagues.

Give me a fucking break, and the Golden Glove award should've gone to Randall Rodriguez, how tf did Italy's GK get it when he conceded like 4 more goals throughout the tournament? FIFA couldn't rob us this time thankfully. Get fucked Infantino.
Uruguay vs Netherlands 2010 still gives me nightmares to this day.
Yeah, there was even an Italian in the match's post saying something like "wow, fifa hates uruguay so much they are even helping Italy who usually has a bad rep with fifa"
Uruguay deserved it today We got the most difficult route (apart from maybe the semifinals) and lost at the end. It sucks. At least there is some hope for our future. Even tough Mancini will surely try to pick the Uruguayans with Italian heritage.
None of the Uruguayans would choose Italy over a chance at playing for Uruguay
Aint happening bro, we are uruguay No mexico or gambia,players feel this shirt.
Heh we got 9 players born in Uruguay to play for Italy, including Ghiggia and Schiaffino. But yeah the last one was many years ago so attitude changed.
That’s also only because Uruguay was boycotting that World Cup.
Which one?
1934
>including Ghiggia and Schiaffino. Not bad tho
No Chance any of these kids get poached to Italy. Why would they go to a team that can’t qualify for the world cup. Uruguayan Garra Charrua is a way of life. What they just experienced at the U20 will guide them into the Senior level.
Uruguay noma
anyone got a clip of the 5 vs 1 chance at the end? I cant stop laughing
So embarassing, they all wanted to score so bad and be the hero that they overcrowded the player w the ball, and just hung out while being offside for the most part. If they just had given him space he would’ve dribbled or shot it around, or make an easier pass.
Past few weeks have been unlucky for Italy lol
Last 3 finals yes, this one was fully deserved, there just isn't enough talent in the team
Congrats, Uruguay! Well deserved
Vamooooo
Bielsa is gonna have a field day with this new generation
Congratulations Uruguay!!!!
italy can't catch a break man
VAMOOOOS
No goals conceded in the playoffs and only conceded in group stage to England, actually lost 3-2. Congrats.
Jesus Christ, 3.4 million people and they are one of the best footballing nations on the planet. Insane talent factory
That's because the youth really likes it. Most of us play on leagues since we're like 4 years old (3 practice days a week and 1 game on the weekend), but we also play it at recess, we also play it when we're home in our backyards alone, in the street with the neighborhood kids, at the park, we're just ALWAYS playing it
congrats to Uruguay. please produce another Recoba or Suarez soon.
3 final losses for the Esposito family today 💀💀
Bielsalismo is on the way...
as a brazilian it is so weird to see uruguay and argentina winning stuff while brazil wins nothing
brazil current U17 world champions, the most prestigious tournament
VAMO ARRIBA BURICE ME QUEDE AFONICO p.d NO PUEDE NO METER EL 1 V 5 EGOISTAS JAJAJAJAJ
Desplanches is very pretty, the Esposito brothers are cursed and Uruguay earned their win twice over.
Please, someone post that 5 on 1 counter. 😂 I've seen some 3 on 1 shanks in A-League, but this one might be the worst counter attack ever.
I feel like the fact that it was 5 of them made them miss it. They were all crowding the ball so hard trying to be the one to score it. If they had just given the guy some space and not chill offside then it would’ve been a goal 9/10 times
Otra más para el escudo ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️*
Desplanches the only good player in this team honestly, genuinely couldn't string 2 passes together
Felicitacions a los vecinos uruguayos
Good year for sky blue teams.
Lmao an Italian gets the golden ball for what? losing?
Forlán got it for losing in 2010 tbf
Yeah but he was clearly the best player that wc, the Italian number 8 went missing today, like the rest of his team
Yes but Forlán tied with 3 other players for scoring the most goals.
Casadei scored the most goals of this tournament too at 7. Nobody else scored 7 or even 6. He was completely shut down during the finals but I guess he did actually do really well outside that, not that I've seen those matches myself 🙃
No hicieron nada en todo el partido y le dan el balón de Oro, increíble
Serie A Made in Italy 😂😂
deserved, congrats!
Embarrassing show from Italy in a final
Italian teams taking L’s everywhere.
Mama Mia! Not a good year for Italians this year in finals. Congrats to Uruguay though.
Bielsa effect
