Apparently the world held a meeting and decided that life will go on. I don’t support the decision but I will abide it. The United States under-17 men’s national team is at the World Cup (*insert self-deprecating joke about missing the World Cup*) and doing quite well. They’ve won their first two matches and have clinched a spot in the knockout rounds already. They finish off group play today against Colombia who split their opening two matches (win vs. India and a loss against Ghana). A draw or a win will be enough (*insert second joke*) for the USA to top the group.
This team is fun. We all need some fun in our lives right about now. I recommend you watch these talented kids just to remind yourself that U.S. Soccer isn’t a bottomless pit like it feels right now. The talent is out there, but it’s about grouping it together and utilizing it properly. That’s what we as a nation has to get better at.

This thread will be your match thread. We don’t have many rules here. We just ask that you don’t insult each other personally and treat each other with respect. Debates can get heated and that’s fine, but name-calling and petty insults will get you banned. If you see a comment that you feel is out of line, please report it and it will be dealt with.
