We know many of you have been closely monitoring the stars from the recent FIFA U-17 World Cup and one of them is Lucas Piazon, Chelsea's new talented winger and Kaka's 17-year-old younger "twin" from another dad (and possibly One Direction's sixth band member).

Mexico lost its third consecutive match of the Copa América today, and was for the first time ever eliminated in the first round of this tournament. However, there is much reason to be optimistic about the future if you are a fan of the North American nation. Just before the Copa América Mexico was awesome in winning the North American Gold Cup, with an excellent side with great attacking power.

The last time Mexico won the U17 World Cup was in 2005. A mere 6 years ago. Yesterday, they did it on their home turf, Estadio Azteca, in front of 105,000 supporting El Tri. Yes, that means Mexico have won two out of the last four U17 World Cups.

We've made more than our share of jokes about the long, dull, dragging days of summer without Liverpool football to distract us from cruel reality, but when you get right down to it there are few sports that span the calendar quite like football. And so, three long, hard days (or thereabouts) after Barcelona beat Manchester United in the Champions League final to close out major European competition, the first wave of players begin to trickle into pre-season training camps in England to kick off July.

After a day spent trying to calm nerves frayed by the transfer season to varying degrees of success, it's back to the offseason grind of news drip-fed into maws eager for something tangible to hold onto as summer drags along. This, then, is all the Liverpool news that's fit to drip today...

* After making his debut with Liverpool in 1976, Sammy Lee would go on to become a key player in midfield for the next decade, playing an important role in European Cup and league triumphs before eventually being pushed out by injuries and Jan Mølby in 1986.

-Ben McCormick After a promising start, the US U-17 National Team is in a tough spot. The Americans opened the 2011 U-17 World Cup with a satisfying 3-0 win against the Czech Republic before it was wiped out by an embarrassing 2-1 loss to Uzbekistan. On June 25, the Americans squared off against New Zealand, needing a win to clinch the group earning themselves a date with Australia, a manageable task in pursuit of returning to the quarterfinals for the first time since.

FIFA rules say that boys u17 can only play at one World Cup.
Teeboy Kamara is 15 and could go to the next World Cup. He's that young. And at this World Cup he's been played for 15 minutes so far and then got injured.
He looked talented but raw raw raw and surely his development would be better if he'd got to play three games when he was more developed in two years time.

Well, good luck making any sense of Group D. The US beat the Czech Republic 3-0, New Zealand beat Uzbekistan 4-1, then Uzbekistan beat the US 2-1, and the Czech Republic beat New Zealand 1-0. Huh? What that means is all teams in Group D are on 3 points, and the US is tied for first with New Zealand, with 4 goals scored and 2 goals allowed each.

If Australia wants to win a World Cup then the style of play and individual performances at the U17 and U20 World Cups are always a good guide to how well or otherwise a national team might perform in coming years and certainly to their style.
Australia has shouted long and loud about how we are going to change, indeed are changing our style of play, but after todays performance the Kaz Patafta inspired U17 team of 2005 under Ange Postecoglou was no worse than this performance.
