The New Generation

The under 20 World Cup is in process in Canada (seriously, why have it in Canada? Is it one of those things to promote the game or was there a shedload of cash involved...) so I thought I'd have a look at some of those involved.


The new generation of Argie chokers can be seen beating Panama 6-0 here:

********************
Incidentially, I'm in Spain and was reading Marca the other day. Despite my Spanish being poor, at best, this line was unmistakeable: "The black power trio of Henry, Abidal and Toure seem to be the perfect antidote for Barca".

So, it's good to see they're keeping a lid on the old racism....
