U-20 World Cup FinalL Brazil v. Portugal

[EaglesPhan36]

1st Half Draw +100
Playing at altitude in Bogota, it may take both teams some time to get acclimated. Brazil coach has said his team's approach this tournament has been to wear down and probe the opposition in the 1st half and then strike in the 2nd half. That has shown in the last two rounds where they got one moment of brilliance to take a 1-0 lead over Spain and mostly did not get too many opportunities in a scoreless draw vs. Mexico at the half. Portugal has been offensively challenged this tournament, winning with defense and superior goal keeping. They will try to work that formula that saw them through with a 0-0 draw and PK win over Argentina and then last round, they surprised France with a couple goals - but we saw today the holes in the French defense. Think there is a good chance the 1st half winds up scoreless before Brazil ultimately finds the back of the net in the 2nd half.

Holy crap, two goals already with just 12 minutes played. At least it's 1-1

Portugal has shown some decent attack, but outside of their goal - a lack of finishing ability. I think Brazil will break them down in the 2nd half and you'll probably see Brazil in the Portugal end A LOT as Portugal probably tries to lock it down and work a draw into extra time. Be interesting to see if Portugal continues to try to hit Brazil on the counter when the opportunity is there.

Oh yeah ..... Bank baby!

Tremendous final, better than the big boys World Cup IMO. Brazil scores late after falling behind and they're in extra time, tied at 2.

Very tense. Second half of extra time.
