U-20 MNT TAKES AIM AT WORLD CUP FINAL FOUR:
After a thrilling comeback win against tournament favorite France, the USA is one of eight teams remaining at the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup. The only nation to reach the quarterfinals of the last three U-20 World Cups, South American champion Ecuador awaits the U.S. in the quarterfinals.
After a slow start, Ecuador dispatched Uruguay 3-1 in its Round of 16 match and will pose another challenge for the red, white and blue. A win would put the USA in prime position for one of its best-ever finishes at the U-20 World Cup. The team’s best finish was fourth at the 1989 tournament in Saudi Arabia.
Saturday’s match will be broadcast on FS2 and Universo. Follow the U-20 MNT throughout the tournament onussoccer.com, Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
