that kicks off on July 1.
In his 20-man squad, Spain Under-20 Coach Gines Melendez’s most

Pique, who is currently on loan to La Liga club Real Zaragoza, is one
of four players with Spanish top-level experience Melendez has picked

striker Adrián Lopez both of Deportivo de La Coruna and midfielder
Matcos Garcia from Villarreal.
Two-thirds of Melendez’s Canada-bound team was part of Spain’s 2006
UEFA Under-19 Championship.
Melendez has also given a junior call-up to 19-year-old Nigerian-born
midfielder Sunday Stephen of Spanish division 2 team Polideportivo
Ejid.
Stephen, a subject of a Euro 2 million transfer to Valencia next
season, is also being sort by the Nigerian coach Bert Vogts to play
for the country of his birth at senior level.

and Juan Mata who scored three and four goals respectively at last
years UEFA Under-19 Championship.

The match kicks off.
It’s a 1 – 1 draw in Burnaby Canada. Zambia U20 finish strongly with a 55% ball possession but were unlucky as they saw a 75th minute effort hit the upright.
Did anyone watch the game? I tried posting a link to the stream, but wasn’t able to. Sebastian Mwansa is brilliant. I can’t wait to see what difference Mulenga makes on the wing. Zambia was very unlucky not to take a 3-0 lead in the first half. But Jordan regained their confidence after the equaliser.
