The U.S. U-20 National Team kicks off the CONCACAF U-20 Championship on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. MT (streamed live at www.facebook.com/concacafcom/) and Real Salt Lake is prominently featured in the team selected by Tab Ramos. With four current Real Salt Lake players and a fifth product of the RSL Academy, Martin Vasquez has his fingerprints all over the U.S. squad as it faces Panama, Haiti and Saint Kitts & Nevis in the tournament’s Group Stage, which also serves as qualifying for the FIFA U-20 World Cup in May and June in South Korea.
Danny Acosta, Justen Glad, Brooks Lennon and Sebastian Saucedo all will don the Stars and Stripes while representing the Claret-and-Cobalt, while Aaron Herrera, now a sophomore at the University of New Mexico, played with those players at the RSL Academy in Casa Grande, Arizona.
