The Dream Tournament
On 7h of July 2018, we from Bangalore Soccer Academy left to Denmark to play the Youth Soccer World Cup representing India. The opening ceremony of Cup no.1 was grand, and bearing the Indian flag, we waved to the cheering crowd .We played our first league match against Germany and lost badly. But, in the next match I scored a goal against Peru. It was our opening score and then there was no looking back. We won against Denmark in the semis and ended up losing to Brazil in the finals. The opening ceremony of Gothia cup [Sweden] was just fantastic.
We started our league matches bad by losing to England. Later, we started playing better, drew with Germany, won against Lebanon, but lost the final to Dubai .We returned to India with two silver medals. We were proud to play for our country.
