U-20 World Championship in Canada

Man, i dunno who in this board introduced me to Giovanni Dos Santos. I think it was in the U17 tournament. I'm a fan of him since that day. Props to you, whoever you are.

Argentina and Brazil both won yesterday.

The Argentina game really was the Banega and Aguero show, wish Eurosport had actually shown that game instead of having to watch the minature highlights on the FIFA site.

Man what can you tell me more about this Banega dude?

[On The Edge of Insanity]

Theres not really much video footage of him about on Youtube or I'd use that.

Basically he's currently playing a Josep Guardiola type role for Boca, at the back of the midfield diamond, taking the ball off the defense and linking up play to the attacking midfielder (in their case Riquelme). He is very skillful on the ball and seems to have great vision for picking out a pass, making me think he will possibly move forward to play more of a Riquelme type role in the future.

For the U-20's he's performing a similar role, but seems to be getting further up the pitch, mainly linking with Moralez (who I think you mentioned earlier) and playing a lot of through balls to the front two players.

If you check out the highlights link from the FIFA page below (seems to work in Internet Explorer for me but not Firefox), he's the number 5 who plays crucial passes in the build up to most of the goals they scored.

Hope that's enough, as I say, not much footage of him about, as he's only broken into the Boca team since the new year.
