The United States Men’s U-20s have qualified for the knockout stage at the U-20 World Cup, but today they seek to officially win the group and determine where they will land on the bracket. They take on Slovakia this afternoon, with the USMNT U-20s currently on 6 points from 2 matches with Slovakia on 3 points from 2 matches.
The USA beat Fiji 3-0 on Tuesday with goals from Diego Luna, Cade Cowell, and Caleb Wiley. Goalkeeper Gaga Slonina has kept 2 clean sheets thus far, and he will look to keep that going against a Slovakia team that needs a result to increase its chances of advancing to the Round of 16. It means the United States will need to continue to play well as it closes out the group stage.
