DAY PREVIEW - And so there were two. From the
24 teams that travelled to India in search of World Cup glory, only England and
Spain still have a chance of making their dreams come true. After three weeks
of intense competition, the final of the FIFA U-17 World Cup India 2017 will be
an all-European affair. History beckons for one of the sides, neither of which
have previously secured a world title at this level.
Furthermore, both teams
will be looking to confirm their status as Europe’s top side, with England
seeking revenge for their defeat to Spain in the final of the UEFA U-17
European Championship earlier in the year. As an appetiser to the main event,
losing semi-finalists Brazil and Mali meet in the play-off for third-place,
with both teams fighting to end the tournament on a positive note and return
home with the bronze medal.
