Match Report

Canada's Men's Youth (U20) Team was eliminated from the FIFA World Youth Championship on Saturday after suffering a 1:4 defeat to Italy in their final game in the group stage played in Parkstad Limburg Stadium in Kerkrade, Netherlands.

“They were the worthy victor,” said head coach Dale Mitchell. “We had a plan to break out with our speed up front; as was seen at times it was effective. Our failure was due to the inability to keep possession of the ball. When you give a team like Italy so much of the ball, they will find a way to break you down.”

Second stage (Round of sixteen) play of the FIFA World Youth Championship Netherlands 2005 will begin on June 21st; the championship final will take place on July 2nd in Utrecht.
