I like how combebol has their qualifying format.. 10 teams 2 groups of five, top 3 qualify in each group then the final 6 teams play each other with the top 4 teams qualifying.. Thats pretty cool.. you play more games, and pretty much play everyone in your region.. with concacaf it would be 12 teams 2 groups of 6, top 3 in each group qualify, and the final phase of 6 teams where they play each other, and the top 4 teams qualify... And the team with most pts/ or differential are champions.

What y'all think ???

Good U20 article.

Who do people think has the best chance of these U20's to crack the senior team first? Do any of them have a chance to factor in WCQ, or even World Cup roster?
I think the obvious one is Brooks due to positional need and skill. Any others with a chance? Gil seems the most skilled of the rest but plays at are deepest position. My money is on Villareal due to our need for goal scorers. And I'm predicting he makes camps for friendlies late this year early next year and has a shot (25%) of cracking WC roster.

Brooks, Gil, Joya, Villarreal.

Brasil have been knocked out. No Argentina and no Brasil at this years U-20 World Cup.

If they cant qualify then they dont need to be there..that would be true at the senior level

So the U.S. U-20's had meh performances against Panama on Saturday and today. They tied Panama 2-2 on Saturday and lost to them today 2-1. I will mention that the U.S. U-20 team was without Pelosi, Rodriguez, and Joya. But I will also add that I haven't been particularly impressed with this currrent U-20 team and Tab Ramos' player selections either. They have lost to Canada and now Panama from CONCACAF during this cycle, and weren't particularly good at the Milk Cup or Marabella Cup. They better get it together for the qualifying tournament.

I will also add that I still think Zach Pfeffer should be called into this U-20 team for qualifying.
