USA U17 World Cup Campaign

[warrior16]

The USA have been drawn into a tough group with defending champs Nigeria, the hosts Chile, and Croatia.

This U17 team is arguably the best youth team the US has ever produced with some very talented prospects like 16-year old Christian Pulisic, who is already training with the Dortmund first team, Josh Perez, Joe Gallardo, and many others.

I'll keep you all updated on the young Yanks' progress as the tournament moves along.

The U17s take on defending champs Nigeria in the opening match the U17 FIFA World Cup in Chile tomorrow afternoon.

I don't think there's any way to watch the games, but I'll keep my eye on Grant Wahl's Twitter feed to give y'all score updates.

There are only six groups of four in the tournament, so there is a very good chance that 3 teams from our group will make the knockout stage.

Fox has the English-language rights, Telemundo the Spanish. I assume many (all?) of the US games will be available online through those providers. Some matches will air on FS2.

2-0 loss to Nigeria. Not totally unexpected as Nigeria is one of the favorites to win the tournament, but now we have no margin for error in the two remaining games.

If this guy is practicing with the Dortmund first team I'm surprised JK hasn't started him at CM for the senior squad

USA squeaks out a 2-2 draw (we were outshot 29-6) against Croatia then get pounded 4-1 by Chile to be eliminated and finish last in the group.

I'm done caring about US men's soccer at any level until they give me a reason to again. Our players are terrible at every single level. Our coaches are also terrible. There is no hope for the future for at least the next 10 years until this entire cycle of players is flushed out. It will be a miracle if we even make the WC quarterfinals again in my lifetime with how we're performing now.

I'm done listening to the hype. We're a joke. We have no talent whatsoever. Anywhere.
