No points from three games, eight goals conceded, only two scored. On the face of it, a pretty
miserable showing by the Young Socceroos in Egypt.
Yet there were a few consolations to take away from the tournament, and the way the team started
against Brazil showed that this was far from a bunch of no-hopers.
It's a little early to be passing final judgement on Jan Versleijen's group of Young Socceroos,
given that they are still in with a slim chance of progressing. But the report card is less than
impressive so far.
Many have showered praise on them for how they took the game to both the Czechs and Costa Rica, but
it's surely significant that Versleijen's charges only really did so when they were already chasing
the game.
