Great summary of an outstanding WC, where top countries were surprisingly left in the path to the final. Congrats to Bulgaria.

Thank you! Once again unforgettable tournament for us! :)

Statistics that surprised me about Cuba U21 were: Goals scored 15; goals against 4, with the worst defense of the last 3 generations :)

Great summary !!!

Čeněk Nepivoda (Česká republika) achieved very good result he scored 6 goals, but in each match he played only 45 minutes ;)

Čeněk is a crack!!
