The U17 qualifies for the World Cup. They lost in the CONCACAF U17 final (2-1 to Mexico), but from everything I read the US dominated most of the match, they just couldn’t finish several great opportunities early, and apparently Mexico’s keeper made a few ridiculous saves.
The U20’s World Cup gets going next week in Poland. The US is grouped with Ukraine, Nigeria, and Qatar. Top 2 advance, along with the 4 best 3rd place teams (from 6 groups). From what I’ve read Nigeria is the favorite in the group, and then the US/Ukraine, but all pretty close.
No Sargent on the roster, but Weah is there. He was released from club duty early to participate. Big tournament for him as PSG apparently are looking to sell him, and he burned some bridges at Celtic by demanding he be released early for this tournament.
