As the U.S. Under-20 national team prepares to begin the CONCACAF Championships on Saturday, Tab Ramos needs his attack to catch up with his defense.
As Tab Ramos embarks on his third World Cup cycle as coach of the U.S. Under-20 national side, he now has a team that is far different from the squad he fielded four years ago.
