USA U 20 Playin the the WC Right Now

Not sure if anyone cares, but it's the quarterfinals against Austria. It's on Espnu.

Sure as hell isn't anything else on, but I'd be watching this anyway. Everyone's favorite Freddy Adu already made the defense look silly once today, but it's still 0-0 at the moment.

1-0 USA... Adu to Altidore again, good stuff.

What a lethal partnership.

 

[royboy_3831]

Adu really is an incredible passer, have to get him in the midfield with the big boys.

Fitz, did England not qualify for this, or did I just miss them?

My boyfriend is at the game. I've no idea why.

England did not qualify, I believe Scotland were the only team to qualify from Ireland & GB.

You'll notice a lot of strong senior European teams did not qualify for this tournament. In Europe and particularly in power house soccer countries like Italy, Germany, France & England a lot more emphasis is placed on the U21 team. The U 19 team (we don't have U20 squads in Europe) which would be the team sent to this tournament, is typically full of no names or lower league players as the youngsters playing in the EPL or Division 1 around Europe that are good enough usually will go directly to the U21 squad.

There is no U21 WC so in Europe we have a U21 European Championships every two years, just won this summer by Holland.

Thanks Fitz, I'm a newb, so have no idea about this stuff.

ugh USA getting sloppy, could be 1-1.

 

[royboy_3831]

1-1 now, ridiculous goalkeeping there...

 

[joeyfitzclick]

Robbie Rogers looks like one for the future.

 

[MrCleo]

Spain will take the Cup

 

[royboy_3831]

Yeah Rodgers is damn good with the ball out wide.

USA-Spain would be a great match in the SF.

 

[joeyfitzclick]

Im taking Spain - 1 this afternoon.

No more golden goal but the rest you are right. Two 15 min half's if it still tied it goes to Pk's

 

[joeyfitzclick]

I'm rooting for PK's.

 

[bigtendominator]

I am stuck watching this on the local spanish channel.

 

[joeyfitzclick]

Adu should've scored.
