Kudos to Poland at U20 World Cup Soccer

When I think of the top teams in football, Brazil is always on that list.  Whether it's men's or women's, junior or senior level - the Brazilians always seem to be amongst the top teams.

Poland's first match of the U.20 World Cup tournament was against Brazil.  The stadium in Montreal is packed - some 50,000 spectators. Not only did Poland score the only goal of the game in the 23rd minute, they also played one man short from the 27th minute mark on.  Brazil kept attacking but only 4 of their 14 shots were on goal!
