Today is the final of the U20 World Cup between Ghana and Brazil. I was curious about goal scorers in the U20 final and what their career has been like since their goals.
In this post, I've listed the finals goal scorers and the clubs they've played for since. I've also listed senior national team caps and goals. Interestingly, 7 of the 17 U20 Final goal scorers since 1995 have not gone on to play for their full International team.
