July 18 and 21 friendlies

Group B's Canada hosted Group C's Mexico in Kamloops, a city of 85,000 people in central British Columbia, for two friendly matches on July 18 and 21.

The July 18 result was a 2-2 draw.

The July 21 result was a 3-1 win for Mexico.

So apparently Canada is not the under-20 powerhouse many suspected. They can beat Finland, but not Mexico or China, according to recent reasults.

Brazil won the Bronze medal over the USA after penalties on a 0-0 draw.

I am watching the Final on TV, and at half time it's 3-0 for North Korea over China. Jo Yun Mi scored the first goal on a brilliant effort in the 29th minute, evading several defenders and an attacking goalkeeper before coolly slotting the ball home. She nearly scored again nine minutes later on a well-saved shot from a cross.

Kim Song Hui showed deadly finishing skills as she chipped a sprawling Chinese keeper in the 39th minute, and again as she blasted a shot from 25 yards out with the keeper off her line in first -half injury time.

The condition of the pitch is an absolute disgrace. Lokomotiv stadium in Moscow is supposed to be a professional, world-class facility, and it's a total embarrassment for Russia and FIFA. It's competely waterlogged, with standing pools of water all down the centre. No men's team would ever be expected to play a FIFA championship match in conditions like this. There ought to be an inquiry into why this was allowed to happen.

Addendum: Kim Song Hui and the confusingly similarly named Kil Son Hui added two goals in the second half to complete the DPRK's demolition of the Chinese team, 5-0, and win the World Cup.

The North Koreans only conceded one goal in the tournament.

[Edited to correct my confusion betwen Ms. Kim and Ms. Kil]
