    I found myself watching Brazil U17's destroy Slovakia 6-1 tonight and a name to keep an eye on who apparently stands out from the rest and is causing a bit of a buzz is the CF. The general feeling is he could be a future European import, scored a hat-trick here....has an annoying habit of getting himself stuck in the net though! :D

    But for the hat-trick it would have been hard to pick a MotM, all of them so comfortable with the ball, and to think they'll only get better.

    Something caught my eye though, apart from the obvious of England being conspicuous by its absence, so is the likes of Holland and France, the Belgian production line looks a short one too! but amazingly no Spain. The surprising European countries who have qualified are as follows

    Austria <yikes>
    Sweden
    Slovakia
    Russia
    Croatia
    Italy

    Whats going on there??

    Eurosport are covering the competition in the UAE.

    Croatia U17s, otherwise known as Dinamo Zagreb U17s

    Okay, maybe they'll have a couple of players from Hajduk Split's youth team too...
