I was at the match. Joel Ndala looked like the real deal. Head and shoulders above everyone else on the pitch.
I’m glad the boys managed to overcome the first defeat and come out of the group stage. We also played very well, but Estevão needs to play and think more collectively.
Can someone example how teams like New Caledonia and Burkina Faso are in this? Like that’s probably a stupid question but you wouldn’t expect them to be in the senior World Cup, have they just got a decent number of good talent at that level? Just seems strange that nations that small are in it compared to senior level where you’d get bigger nations, especially since I can’t see teams like the Netherlands there?
Xerém is having a great week so far, 3 strikers called up (João Pedro, John Kennedy and Kauã Elias) with 2 of them being the NT 9
