FIFA WC 2011 U20 3rd place:
Mexico u20 - France u20, 3 - 1. El Campín, Bogotá, Colombia, 2011-08-20

Tournament has ended with Brasil becoming champion which is a pretty well-deserved ending. On the other hand, rest of finalist werent that good as we have once seen Spanish team. 3rd place match is not played with a high rigid pace as well, there was good defence but poor football quality. Hence, there were many physical situations that ref. should solve. We all predicted that Arias will handle this 3rd place match which is also seem to be well-deserved for him at first, but in the end I believe we havent seen what we have expected from him.

Min22: Notthing related to style...
There was a draw (1-1) when Arias neglected the foul against LACAZETTE (FRA) in box and gave him a YC for dive. As far as I have seen, there is an obvious contact by Mexican GK to him which should have resulted in a penalty and maybe a red. He was also pretty odd in foul detection. While I was watching him, I was so many times thrilled by his calls. Additionally, I believe there is also an obvious gap between FIFA refs. Some FIFA refs could disallow third mex. goal easily. There is a push by Rivera(MEX) before the goal, but I agree with him you cant whistle them all.

Next Championship
WC U20 2013 will be held in Turkey. After this tournament, I think, expectations of FIFA from host state have risen (active crowd, well motivation, good organization). I look forward to see a better one.
