I would like to express my disappointment to Lusaka times article entitled “Grandstand.†One can only tell that the writer is only exercising his analytical and critical skills. I doubt very much if he has played football at any stage, be it competitive or social. I write as one who is an ardent soccer fan but also one who has played it for social purposes. My analysis of this game is simple, the under 20 teams in Canada participating in the current soccer event are the world’s best. Whether you believe it or not, that’s not my station. Out of these top best countries of the world, Zambia had an opportunity to be amongst the four teams representing Africa and let-alone the 16 from the whole globe. Your analysis is misplaced because I believe the same guys who are in Canada today will be seen in the next world cups. All we have to do is give our under 20 a red carpet plus a heroes’ welcome. They have achieved what many southern African nations failed to achieve. Ask yourself, where was Germany, England, France etc in the tournament? They did not make it. Maybe you need to know what the U-20 World cup is all about. The FIFA U-20 World Cup, is the world championship of football for male players under the age of 20 and is organized by Federation International of Football Association (FIFA). The Championship has been awarded every two years since the first tournament in 1977.
Often, some of the biggest names in the sport make their first mark on the world’s stage at this competition. These include Diego Maradona (1979), Bebeto, Dunga (1983), Romário, René Higuita, José Luis Chilavert (1985), Davor Å uker, Robert ProsineÄki (1987) Paulo Sousa, Fernando Couto, João Manuel Vieira Pinto, Sonny Anderson, Santiago Cañizares, Ismael Urzaiz, Diego Simeone, Oleg Salenko (1989), Rui Costa, LuÃs Figo, Dwight Yorke (1991), Samuel Kuffour (1993), Nwankwo Kanu, David Trézéguet, Thierry Henry, Juan Román Riquelme, Pablo Aimar, Esteban Cambiasso, Michael Owen, Damien Duff (1997), Ronaldinho, Xavi, Iker Casillas, Rafael Márquez (1999), Arjen Robben, Adriano, Michael Essien, Javier Saviola (2001), Andres Iniesta, Carlos Tevez, Javier Mascherano (2003),Cesc Fà bregas, John Mikel Obi and Lionel Messi (2005).
In the fifteen tournaments held, only seven nations have won the title. Argentina is the most successful team with five titles, followed by Brazil with four titles. Portugal won two titles, while Germany , Spain, and formerly existing nations Soviet Union and Yugoslavia have won the title once each.
A corresponding event for women’s teams, the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Championship, began in 2002 with an age limit of 19. The age limit for the women’s competition was changed to 20 beginning with the 2006 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Championship.
Brave Under 20. You are great. No doubt
