It starts tomorrow(03.08.2008). It's an U15 tournament for players born after 01.01.1993 so the squad should be similar to the one that played in the Marveld tournament earlier this summer.

United's group is :

1.Manchester United
2.Villa 2000
3.Audax Italiano
4.Real Madrid
5.Paris Saint Germain

Our games tomorrow are: 03 august 2008
09.30 - Manchester United vs. Villa 2000
11.30 - PSG vs. Manchester United

I think MUTV will show some footage from the tournament sometime tomorrow probably around 4 or 5pm

Hopefully they'll do better than they did in the Marveld cup.
 
1-1 against PSG, decent result. Madrid drew with Audax Italiano as well.
 
The squad:

1.Sam Johnstone
2.Mike Keane
3.Luke Giverin
4.Tom Thorpe
5.David Mellor
6.Tyler Blackett
7.Jackson Ramm
8.Larnell Cole
9.Will Keane
10.Ravel Morrison
11.John Cofie

12.Rico Gomes
13.Ward
14.Tom Lawrence
15.Sutherland
16.Yaune Gnahore

Lineup against Villa 2000: Johnstone, M. Keane(Blackett), Giverin(Gnahore), Thorpe, Mellor, Sutherland, Ramm(Gomes), Morrison, W. Keane, Cofie, Cole.
Subs: Ward and Lawrence
Scorers: Thorpe, Keane, Morrison


I'm not sure on the lineup against PSG but it was something like this:
Johnstone, Blackett, Gnahore, Thorpe, Mellor, Sutherland, Ramm(Gomes), Morrison, W. Keane, Cofie, Cole.
subs: Ward, M. Keane, Giverin and Lawrence (i'm not sure if any of them came on)
Scorer: Morrison
 
Thanks, Einar. Nice to see John Cofie actually exists. Anyone know anything about these lads? MUJAC? Oskar?
 
Rico Gomes
cofie ..

ah .. isnt gomes on youtube , has a younger brother too
 
We beat Audax Italiano 2-1, so I think a draw against Madrid would probably take us into the quarter-finals.

0-1 at half time but Keane and Thorpe scored in injury time to win it for United. On possession and chances we were well worth the win!

They scored from a pen and hardly threatened at all.
 
We drew 0-0 with Real Madrid and finished second in Group 1 and are therefore through to the knock-out stages.

We play Fluminense in the quarter finals and if we win play the winner of teh Basle v Juventus tie.

Thanks, MUJAC. I'm very pleased to see our lads showing their true colors in this tournament. Cue heavy defeat at the feet of Fluminense.
 
We lost 0-2 to the Brazilians.
We meet Juventus in the battle for position 5th.-8th.
 
4-1 win over Juve, we're playing Right To Dream now in the 5th-6th playoff.
 
The final is at Old Trafford tomorrow yes? I'm struggling to find information on it, what time does it kick off? I was told 5pm by the United website before, I look at the official one now and it says mid-day?!
 
Is this being shrowded in secrecy or what?! The website isn't up to date with all todays results, and on MUTV now its scheduled to be a review of todays Manc Cup games, and instead its last seasons first team game at Sunderland?!?!

I'm sure that during the Peterborough game they were saying it was on immediately before the Juventus game.

Anyone of you Cafs that watched some of the games Fluminese played? I heard that their Starplayer Wellington de Silva, who was voted MVP of the tournament (Fabio was MVP, when United first saw the twins) is quite a stunning player. I know we have alot of Brazilians but talent is talent...

I just found a clip on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-_gUg_9dIM&feature=related


It would have been great if anyone of you could give me some information on this player, and of course give me your view on what Unitedplayers that showed something special.
