U20 World Cup Final – Earth not expected to leave axis.

Ghana v Brazil final a dress rehearsal for S.Africa next year?

We here at thespoiler have a hunch. It is a well-known fact that Brazil are the only nation to have won the World Cup outside of their own continent, which makes a Samba triumph next summer a strong possibility. In a related stat, there is also the adage that home nations always travel further than expected. The flaw in the upcoming World Cup however, is that South Africa are dreadful.

Another African side though, may take advantage of the waves of enthusiasm that should sweep the continent in June. Ghana, with Michael Essien, Sulley Muntari and Kwadwo Asamoah to name but three, could well be that nation.

So tonight’s U20 World Cup Final (7pm Eurosport) may be viewed as a sign of things to come – we’re tipping a Ghana vs Brazil World Cup final next summer. And if that isn’t enough incentive to watch, it’s a chance to check out tournament top scorer, Dominic Adiyiah, coming to a Premier League club near you soon.

For those who can’t find the remote control, the 3rd/4th place play-off between Costa Rica and Hungary is on earlier at 4pm.

• Ghana. Brazil
• Michael Essien
• Muntari
