The United States under-20 men’s national team is 90 minutes away booking their spot in the World Cup in South Korea. After beating Mexico for the first time in 31 years, Tab Ramos’ side are very much in control of their own destiny. El Tri got their three points with lopsided 5-1 win over El Salvador on Wednesday, leaving the U.S. with many different scenarios to clinch a spot in both the World Cup and this tournament’s final match.
As Paul Kennedy points out via Brian Sciaretta, the Baby Yanks would qualify for a World Cup spot even with a loss of two goals or less to El Salvador today.
