USMNT-U20 Best XI give the USMNT something to look forward to



Taking a little look at the U-20 team, it is still hard to judge what players will be future stars, especially in the USA. The USA has 330 million people and it dwarfs the European nation in population and pure size. So you understand other players may emerge in the USA that are not mentioned here. So lets just discuss and hope the stars of today become our stars of tomorrow.


Alex Mendez:Germany SC Freiburg is a 5-10 American Soccer player who plays as a midfielder for SC Freiburg. He was born in Los Angelos California. He is still elegible to play for Mexico. He is keeping the door open but has now developed as one of the main options for the USA. He is good box to box player, making pin point passes and playing aggressivly winning the ball back. He won the U-20 CONCACAF Championship, He won the MVP of the tournamnet, He scored the most goals (8) on the USA team, and score both goals in the finals against Mexico and 1 goal against Costa Rica. He stepped up in the big games and got better as tournament progresses.

GK: Brady Scott: Germany 1. FC Köln. He is 19 years old and plays for Germany 1. FC Köln of the German league.  I am glad he is getting the best training and is in the Germany League at this young age. He is just under 6 '2" and looks very calm and collective in net.

DF Chris Goster Germany Hannover 96 is a New Jersy born American soccer player. He stands at 6 feet and a solid build. He is now trainging with Hannover youth team after partaking in the Reb Bulls II training teams. He played a  very solid tournamnet and relished the idea of playing Mexico. He was one of the players wishing to play against the best in the world.

Sergio Pest: was just that. He was a pest to get by. He has fast and relentless on defense. He also got forward at times and did not see to tire. He was very calm with the ball at his feet and could run into open spaces for move the ball. Great to see from a Defender.
