Goalkeeper: Igor Akinfeev (CSKA Moscow)
Despite being on the losing side Akinfeev kept his team close with Manchester United testing him
eight times and only finding the net once. The Russian international is a top-class keeper and
denied the likes of Berbatov Valencia a number of times.

It's been a tournament that can launch careers and bring players in the spotlight. With less at
stake than the full blown World Cup, the U-20 is still a chance to get a look at some of the game's
