The U20 World Cup starts this evening....

[USAF]

The 2 games tonight will be on Fox Sports 1 -
Game 1: New Zealand (host) vs Ukraine at 9
Game 2: U.S. vs Myanmar at 12

[HL]

I am taping the US game.

But Myanmar..!!!???

[USAF]

Don't know anything about them, BUT never take an opponent lightly......They qualified out of Asia (AFC) ahead of Japan, South Korea & Australia.

What do you think about the U.S. squad???.......They left off the golden boot winner from the CONCACAF qualifiers.

[HL]

Very disappointing and lack luster performance.

Your combolo Assasin a hug-up Tab Ramos.

The US performance should determine whether he gets the axe or not.

[USAF]

Was asking about the squad that is at the U20 WC, not the performance of the team from the CONCACAF qualifiers.
Ramos has NO excuse if this team doesn't perform well......They say it's the most experienced (all the players, except the 2 backup goalkeepers, are professionals) and most talented U.S. U20 team, so we will see.

[HL]

Myanmar represented themselves well.

The USA has much room for improvement .

Good 2....1 win.

[USAF]

Haven't seen any U20 games yet. Been BUSY!!!
Got a text yesterday, saying that the striker, Maki Tall, who scored their first goal is out with a broken toe.
Also saw that Ramos didn't start Zelalem & didn't use Payne.......Still think he's clueless as a coach.
Interesting that Landon Donovan is there helping with the team.

[Assasin]

Haven't seen the game but it seems like the US got a very good group. They are playing New Zealand next.

Say the Mexico/Mali game. The ref imposed himself on the game by giving Mexico two red and Mali one. Mali scored 2 goals after the cards.

Tab Ramos read your post USAF.

Got to see the kid Zelalem in a full game. This kid is very very special.

The team played well. They have essentially qualified for the next round.

So Ghana kicked Argentina a$$......

Heard Honduras won their game.

seems like apart from you and Assasin. ..the forum has no interest in the u 20 games.

BTW, The women WC begins this Saturday.

[USAF]

He played both Zelalem & Payne (right back). Both had a very good game.
Zelalem was very impressive. I can see why Klinsmann pushed to get him & why Wenger thinks so highly of him.......When he get bigger & stronger, and if he develops as they expect, he should be one h@ll of a player.
His midfield partner, Hyndman, also had a very good game & they could form a very dangerous partnership for the senior team.

Only saw the highlights of the Ghana game. Some had Argentina as one of the favorites (along with Germany). Ghana was leading 3-0 with about 10 mins. left. The game ended 3-2.

Yeah!!! Honduras won their first game. Rochez, who plays for Orlando City, scored 2.

This is a big blow to the team. The loss didn't bother us at all against New Zealand, but I think it could really haunt us as we go deeper into the tournament.

[HL]

Mexico too won 2...1 over Uruguay.

Panama looks promising even with the last minute loss to Austria.
