Brazil vs. Spain headlines quarterfinals
Posted Saturday, August 13, 2011 by YAHOO Sport
One quarterfinal matchup in the Under-20 World Cup is overshadowing the rest: Brazil vs. Spain.
This does not do justice to the other quarterfinals, with Nigeria—perhaps the best team so far—against France, host country Colombia against Mexico and six-time champion Argentina facing Portugal.
Brazil and Spain have the name recognition inherited from their senior teams. Brazil has won the senior World Cup five times—more than anyone else— and Spain is the defending champion. Spain’s quick passing style and possession game are being copied by the U-20 team led by Sergio Canales and Alvaro Vazquez.
