Soccer Tuesday: Vitesse v FC Utrecht, Malmo v Sundsvall, plus U20 World Cup games featuring France, Portugal, Argentina, S. Korea, S. Africa
There have been some quality matches so far at the FIFA U20 World Cup, but Tuesday might have the match of the group stage.
Two of the tournament favorites will collide, with Portugal taking on Argentina in Group F. Both teams won their openers, so a win for either would lock up the top spot.
France is also in action against Panama to try to lock up Group E.
In addition to the the World Cup, there are some games around Europe. The second leg of the Eredivisie Europa League playoff is on tap, with Vitesse hosting FC Utrecht. The teams drew 1-1 in the first leg, and Vitesse comes home needing a win to qualify.
We will head to Sweden for the first time, where Malmo is on top of the league and a heavy favorite against GIF Sundsvall. Expect Malmo to continue its roll.
