U-20 World Cup update

Tuesday July 3, 07
Brazil U20 3 - 2 Korea Rep. U20
USA U20 6 - 1 Poland U20
Panama U20 0 - 6 Argentina U20
Czechia U20 2 - 2 Korea DPR U20

My goodness did you see the shellacking USA dropped on Poland? Freddy Adu punched his ticket out of Salt Lake City, say hey to Europe for me. USA played a flawless game, nice touches, good passing, solid D, aggressive counterattack, etc., and that was certainly a pleasure to watch. But I've got to factor in that Poland, fresh off an opening day victory over Brazil, sucked pretty bad. When the game started and Poland scored a goal in the first 5 minutes, it didn't feel like it would end in a big USA win but after the first 5 minutes, it was all USA. Good.
