Dos Santos 2-0 Parker
The opening game of World Cup 2010 saw Giovani dos Santos star for Mexico, setting the bar very high for the other 17s in South Africa. Gio took the first touch of the tournament at kick off, I wonder if a 17 will have the last touch of the final, perhaps a World Cup-winning penalty from Josué?
Mexico's star striker was at the heart of every attack that his team put together and had several chances himself, but sadly luck was not on his side. Gio looked dangerous throughout the match and will have inspired others wearing 17 with his slick, direct forward play.
South Africa's Bernard Parker was given a disappointing ten minutes at the end but could not grab his opportunity to make himself a hero.
This was a clear win for Dos Santos17, who totally outshone his counterpart as well as everyone else on the pitch.
