U-20s World Cup goes to knockout
The U-20s World Cup continues, with group play now giving way to the knockout round.
The US squad wound up winning the so-called "Group of Death" and advanced to face Italy today. The Americans were sent packing, 3-1. I didn't see the game, but most reports indicate that it was disappointing.
And, via Du Nord, here's a list of notable players from the group stages. There's one American in there, midfielder Benny Feilhaber. The player that seems to have raised the most eyebrows, though, is the Netherlands' Quincy Owusu Abeyie. Check out some highlights of Arsenal's hot, young prodigy, here.
