The Canadian fans in attendance are screaming about the Mexican ref.  It seems eveytime we get a Latin ref, we get a game filled with diving and poor officiating.  Any thoughts ?
I did not find that the officiating was bad and a few times a Brazilian would be sitting on the ground with his hands up in the air pleading for a foul and the ref allowed the play to carry on and other times the same would happen with a canadian player and the crowd would not be happy.  ;D ;D

guest and palos how would our under 20 match up against canada under 20

Just curious how many of your U-20's are in Europe ?  Who would be your most high profile player ?

Of the 22 Canadian players assembled for this series, 10 are currently playing in Europe.  A number of other Euro based players are being rsted after long seasons.

Hardly a soccer friendly

Brazil takes it to Canada in spirited match at UVic


 
Cleve Dheensaw, Times Colonist
Published: Tuesday, May 23, 2006
BRAZIL 3 CANADA 1

A friendly? Well, technically, that's what they call it in soccer.
But the often physical action on the pitch indicated otherwise as Brazil showcased its famous soccer sorcery by scoring two late goals to defeat Team Canada 3-1 in a spirited and passionate Under-20 men's soccer exhibition game before 4,415 boisterous fans Monday at Centennial Stadium.
"There is no such thing as a friendly against Brazil . . . a lot of our players play in Europe in important leagues and are very competitive guys," said Andrea Lombardo, who put Team Canada up 1-0 at 54 minutes, and then celebrated with a mad dash across the running track to gesture in front of a cheering packed grandstand while being mobbed by his Canadian teammates.
"I don't like forwards who don't celebrate after a goal. A goal is a joyous thing. It's everybody's dream to score a goal for his country, and this was against Brazil, so emotions were running high. I'll remember this a lifetime. A goal against Brazil doesn't happen often."
But that 1-0 Team Canada lead was against the junior national team of the world's most fabled soccer country and was anything but safe.
Not only that, but Brazil was coming off a stinging 2-1 loss to Team Canada on Friday at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton in the first ever soccer victory by a Canadian national side over a Brazilian national side. For Brazil, a second loss to Canada would have been unthinkable.
"They're Brazil . . . they were not going to be happy with a tie," said Toronto's Lombardo, who plays pro in Italy under contract to Perugia.
A questionable penalty inside the box against Team Canada opened the door for Brazil and captain JI Parana converted from the spot at 66 minutes. After that, it was only a matter of time and Team Canada did well in holding off the Brazilians until three minutes to full time as Luis Adriano scored twice at 87 and 90 minutes to put it away and rejoiced with almost as much gusto as Lombardo did for Team Canada.
"They celebrated like they won the World Cup and that reflects well on us because it shows we're earning some respect now," said defender Joey Loreth of Victoria, who subbed in for the last seven minutes.
Brazilian head coach Nelson Rodrigues, speaking Portuguese through an interpreter, touched on the expectancies of just being Brazil in soccer.
"No matter where we go in the world, people expect double the showmanship and double the skill levels," said Rodrigues.
"I am proud and satisfied that we were able to display today the style of football we play in Brazil."
Canada head coach Dale Mitchell -- whose team will host the 2007 FIFA Under-20 World Cup next year (Victoria will host a group) -- put it in perspective for his players: "They're disappointed but I told them they stretched Brazil to the 87th minute," said Mitchell.
"Not many people would have bet that this [three-game] series would come down to the last game Thursday [at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby and televised on Rogers Sportsnet]."

Canada Falls to Brazil in Final Game of Series

 

Burnaby, British Columbia – Canada’s U-20 National team were on the wrong side of a 3:1 score line this evening in front of a near-capacity crowd of 6,482 fans at Burnaby’s Swangard Stadium. Two own-goals and a powerful header from Brazilian striker Renatinho paced the South Americans past their North American counterparts.

 

Canada’s Andrea Lombardo pulled the young Canadian team to within one after some wonderful work from Jaime Peters on the wing but in the end, Canada could not find that elusive equalizer and Brazil walked off winning two of three games in Canada.

 

For the first time in the three-game series, the Canadians found themselves down early after Jonathan Bourgault instinctively flicked out his right foot to clear an attempted shot by the Brazilian, Taianan, but unfortunately for the Ile Bizard-native his attempted clearance flew into the upper left corner of Asmir Begovic’s goal.

 

To add insult to injury, the youngster was booked two minutes later.

 

The closest Canada would come in the opening half would be a scramble in front of the Brazilian goal after Ipswich-based Jaime Peters teased the left side of the Brazilian defence then drilled a low, hard cross toward the near post that the Brazilian ‘keeper bobbled initially but gathered in time to deny Andrea Lombardo an attempt at goal. Unfortunately for the Brazilian, Lombardo stuck his boot in anyway. The Canadian was subsequently booked for the foul.

 

Eight minutes into the second half, Brazil was almost gifted another own goal. Again, it was a Taianan shot that skipped off a Canadian player; this time it was Will Johnson that tried to head clear but inadvertently flicked the ball toward the upper corner. This time Begovic was alert to the danger and at full-stretch managed to palm away the deflection.

 

Just before the hour-mark though, the Brazilians would stretch their lead to two when the right back Amaral roared down the wing then swung a ball to the far post for an unmarked Renatinho who easily nodded home his third of the series.

 

But Canada’s scorer from the second game of the series in Victoria would strike again and draw Canada to within one. After Peters shrugged aside two Brazilians at the left corner of the area then spun and left them for dead, the speedy winger delivered a sublime cross to pick out Lombardo who had held up his run at the back post. Lombardo side-footed the cross on his first touch leaving Muriel no chance to set for the save and suddenly the Canucks were back in it.

 

Simeon Jackson almost pulled Canada level minutes later when he got on the right side of his marker then turned to fire toward goal but a Brazilian defender slid across to make a vital block.

 

A little over ten minutes later though, Brazil stormed forward through Beto who made his way to the top of the area then smashed a shot that seemed destined for the lower corner of Begovic’s goal but the keeper did ever so well to palm the shot wide. However, Luis Adriano raced to the rebound quickest and then sliced a pass back toward Leyrielton at the top of the six yard box. The Brazilian’s shot toward goal was blocked initially but got caught between the legs of Stephen Lumley who unfortunately dragged the ball into his own goal with his trailing leg.

 

Canadian head coach, Dale Mitchell, in the end was complimentary to both sides in his post-match comments.

 

“The game tonight was a little bit different than the previous two games in that it was very open right from the beginning.”

 

“In the last two matches we did very well defensively in the first half and gave ourselves a chance to win in the second half.”

 

“Right from the start I think it was a good game for the fans that were here but once you start trading chances and playing an open match against players with the skill of the Brazilians, eventually they are going to punish you.

 

“We had some chances of our own but you can’t really question the result and at the same time, you cannot really question the effort of our players throughout the series.”

 

The Canadians and Brazilians split the first two games of the series with Canada winning 2:1 in Edmonton, and the Brazilians dominating the proceedings three days later in the BC capital of Victoria, winning 3:1.
