The U17 WWC will take place in Uruguay from November 13 - December 1. Fair or not, this team will be performing in the shadow of other recent US youth failures, including the U20 WNT getting bounced from their World Cup in group stage.

Group won’t be any easier for the U17s, who have Cameroon, Korea DPR, and Germany all waiting for them. We’ll see if they can bring a renewed and effective style of play to the tournament; recent results have given them narrow victories over the likes of Mexico and Canada.
