U.S. U-20 MNT roster named for Four Nations Tournament
CHICAGO (Via U.S. Soccer) – Twenty-one players have been called to represent the U.S. Under-20 Men’s National Team at the Four Nations Tournament in Germany.
The team will compete against three other nations: It played Germany on Oct. 6, and will face Scotland on Oct. 9 and Mexico on Oct. 12.
The U-20s were last on the pitch in August, when they travelled to Serbia to compete in the Stevan Vilotic-Cele Tournament; the team finished in fifth place. That served as the first action for the group in this new U-20 cycle. The group started slowly, dropping its first two matches to the host Serbia and France, but concluded with a win against Israel.
