What did you think of Adán? Obviously can't form anything like a solid opinion after just one match, but he did look like he has potential to me.
Wouldn't mind seeing Gambia-Mexico tomorrow, unfortunately it's on at the same time as USA-Paraguay. Should be able to catch a bit of the first half, anyway. Quote:

Was impressed with Sunny as well. Spain really took charge of the midfield after he came on, although I think a bit of that was due to Uruguay dropping back too deep. From what I'd heard of him I was expecting Sissoko mark 2, but he actually looked comfortable in possession and showed some good touches. Seems like a decent passer of the ball too. |

For anyone who's interested, you can see the goals at FIFA.com. Brilliant run by Amaral for the first goal, excellent finish one-on-one by Pato for the second and the third was very nicely worked too. Both S. Korea's goals were high quality as well. |

I haven't watched Brazil play at this tournament yet, but that lad listed as David Marinho (usually known as David Luiz) is an excellent prospect. He joined Benfica in January and has looked outstanding, already playing very well against PSG, Porto and Sporting. He knows he's good, which hopefully won't be too much of a problem, but he could go right to the top.

5-year deal worth £20,000 per week (not bad for a 17-year-old) and a transfer fee of £10m for Internacional, where he is expected to stay until January. |

Doesn't have an EU passport either, so the work permit situation might be tricky. |

I think they'd be quite confident about the special talent rule.
It's not official, yet, so hopefully it falls apart for whatever reason. http://esporte.uol.com.br/futebol/ul...59u124889.jhtm |

On a sporting level, it's clearly not the best move he could make at such an age. |
