Can't wait to see the US U-20 team in their World Cup
Posted June 27, 2007 Posted Under:I don't know about everyone else, but I am excited to see what kind of talent we have coming through our youth programs. I don't even know that much about the team, but apparently they are favored to make it to the final rounds. There's gotta be something said for that, when they are spoken about in the same sentences as Brazil, and other powerhouse countries. This may be the first US team whom others don't want to see in their bracket. That is a great predicament for the future of soccer in this country.
Of all the players, I think Josi Altidore is gonna tear it up. There's something about that kid that makes you wanna like him and see him become very successful. For one he's a baller. Secondly, he is very modest about his ability and his success and carries himself like a veteran. Can't ask for a more marketable player. However, the MLS better watch, he could get snagged up very quickly.
The game against South Korea on Saturday, June 30, kicks off at 5 p.m. ET and will be shown live on ESPNU and fans can follow along live on ussoccer.com’s MatchTracker.
