Even though it's not the peak of the tournament season this year, there's still plenty of action for fans to catch up on in the heat of the summer, with the U20 World Cup leading the way in May with an impressive lineup of players. The Argentine U20 team, led by the renowned Mascarano, made a miraculous comeback as the hosts after a disappointing exit from the final round of the tournament, which was a pleasant surprise. It is worth mentioning that this team has been to the top of the U20 World Cup six times, the team with the most number of wins, and has produced soccer giants such as Maradona and Lionel Messi. This year's tournament, can they once again give birth to a new king of soccer, taking over the baton of Messi?
June will also see the start of the U21 European Cup, co-hosted by Romania and Georgia. The competition is expected to be even fiercer as the number of teams in this year's tournament has increased to 16. Germany U21 and England U21 will face each other in Group C, and the sparks will be flying. Despite their poor performance in international competitions in recent years, Germany U21 has made it to the final of the last three U21 European Cups and even won twice. This year, they will try to defend their title.
The Women's World Cup, co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand, will open in July. The U.S. women's soccer team, winners of two consecutive championships, will have a rematch with the Netherlands women's soccer team in the second round of the group stage, a matchup that will undoubtedly be the center of attention. The England women's soccer team, which has continued to improve in recent years, has made it to the quarterfinals for two consecutive years, and even won the Women's European Cup for the first time in the last edition. Will they be able to build on their success this year and challenge the dominance of the US women's soccer team?
