Panama arranged a match against Malta, so according to the regulations we won with a walkover 3:0. Therefore, we will play a friendly match against Latvia U21.

Yesterday we won with a forfeit against Panama U20 3:0.
After the first round, we are the leaders of group B.

In the second match of Group B, we drew 1:1 against El Salvador, but our opponent broke the rules - a 21-year-old player played and we won by a 3:0 walkover.

We are already sure to promote from the 1st place in the group, because our next rival Jamaica arranged a match against another team, so we will also win the next match by a 3:0 walkover.

We can wait for the draw of the quarterfinals of the tournament.

On Saturday, we will play a friendly match against Lithuania U21, ranked higher in the world ranking.

GOLD CUP U20 - II EDITION

LOL, nice moron NT coaches. Three defaults? LMAO.

It's hard to believe, but it's true. I don't know if they are afraid to play against the USA or if they have memory problems.

We won Group B of the U20 Gold Cup and advanced to the quarterfinals.

Today was the draw for the quarterfinal pairs. We will play against Guatemala. As group B winners, we will be the favorite for this match. If we advance to the semifinals we can play against tournament favorite Cuba.

Yesterday we played a great match and won the Gold Cup U20 quarterfinal against Guatemala U20 5:0.
Next week we will play in the semi-final against the tournament favorite, Cuba, led by experienced coach Valdo (bronze medalist of the U21 World Cup).

Before today's match against Cuba U21, unfortunately we have three key players injured in our team: Randolph Kozar (ATT), Theo Lucas (MID) and Cecil Polk (DEF). We will try to have a very good match and win.

USA 2-0 Cuba

Congratulations on winning the semi-final against Kuba and reaching the final :) you played a very good match :) and I see that two of my players and one of my former players played in the match :) you set up Salter in a very interesting way, you used his full potential :)

And Fisher made an assist and also helped win the match :)

The final against Mexico is ahead of you, good luck, win this match, get gold and go down in history :)

Thank you Adi, it was a great match. We won against the tournament favorite.

Yesterday we played a fantastic match and won in the semifinals of the U20 Gold Cup against Cuba 2:0. We advanced to the final! This is our historic success. In the final we will play against Mexico (in the other semifinal they won against Panama 1:0).

Today we will play the U20 Gold Cup final against Mexico. Our opponent today has a similar potential to ours (similar number of users and junior schools) so any result is possible. In the history of matches against Mexico, we have won 5 times, drew 2 times and lost 10 times. The last time we played against each other was at the inauguration of the last U21 World Cup - we won 1:0, but this time we will see completely new players on the pitch. In our team everyone is healthy and ready to play. You are invited to the match.
