With the Under 20 Men’s National Team having successfully qualified for the 2013 World Cup, the pressure on the U.S. youth setup has been relieved – at least for the time being.
Next month, the U.S. U17 MNT will be the next team the Federation sends to a CONCACAF Championship to face the surprisingly arduous task of qualifying for a youth World Cup.
The Under 17s will begin its qualifying effort in Panama just over a month from now. To help the team get acclimated, it’s where they’ve spent the last week and a half, training and playing three friendlies against Mexico, Panama and Arabe Unido’s youth team, a local club side.
