| 16.08.2002 Kick off - U20 World Cup semifinals |
| Time for the end game of
the U20 World
Cup. Sweden is favourite against the US, but the US have proven themselves difficult to score against. It may require the full
skills of Ove Selén and the others to win the match. The other semifinal is a Commonwealth affair: England against Oceania.
Oceania has a long winning streak before they lost to the US last match, and England seems to be getting stronger as the World
Cup carries on. Kick of is 8 PM HT-Time
|
| 18.08.2002 Pretzels and refreshments ready? |
| Get ready for the U20 World
Cup final
tonight. Sweden, who broke through the defense packed US team already by mid first half in the semifinal, will fight the
sensational finalist Oceania who have stunned the Hattrick world. Can Aussie keeper Penniworth stand up against the attacks of
Swedish master strikers Selén and Apelskär? Will "bad boy" Arthur Harris aim for the legs or the ball this time? The answer is
out there. Tonight. 8 PM HT-time.
