I plan on bringing you all a post-game tomorrow evening at some time, but while you wait here is a youtube of USMNT U20 defender Ike Opara getting a new haircut.

The nice people running CONCACAF has hosted the entire game on Youtube in two halves. Without too much analysis I’ll say that I was impressed John McInerney, Stefan Jerome, and my new favorite namesake Marlon Duran (the kid reminds me of a little Javier Mascherano). Enjoy folks.

The U-23 WNT will compete in a 4 team tournament (England, Norway, and Germany) at the La Manga club sports and leisure resort in southern Spain starting Jan 31st. Yes, that’s right, the U-23s are going to a resort complete with golf, a spa, restaurants, bars, and scenery… just check out their website. [...]

It seems like only a month ago (wait – I think it actually was) when our U-20 women won their World Cup down in Chile and various footie fans around the world found themselves a new favorite player. Well, now our U-23s are in camp and beginning preparations for July’s Nordic Cup competition. [...]

Did you just watch the U-20 Women’s World Cup final on ESPN today? Cause I dunno who the announcer was but that guy certainly had his panties in a bunch all over Alex Morgan. During the first half, he flat out said she was the best player on the US side. [...]

I’m at a place with cable (shocking) and oooh lookie, the USA v Germany U-20 Women’s World Cup game is on RIGHT NOW. But thanks to a few twitters from earlier today, I already know the US pulls out of this one with a (I just saw it, pretty dern sweet) goal from [...]

“And to all the haters, I will flip you over that couch!” Keelin Winters celebrates with the team and scored the first goal, resulting in a 3-0 win over England. The US advance to the quarterfinals of the U-20 Women’s World Cup and next face the winner of tomorrow’s Germany vs Brazil [...]

I haven’t even had time to process and move on from the crushing loss when we faced North Korea in the U-17 Women’s World Cup before the U-20 Women’s World Cup got into full swing down in Chile. And the US of A already made it to the quarterfinals after they destroyed Argentina [...]

Congrats go to North Korea who beat the US 2-1 in overtime to win the first ever U-17 Women’s World Cup. And apparently the game was a real nail biter. From the match report at American Soccer News:

The USA took an early lead on a strange goal in just the second minute [...]
