USMNT eliminated from U-20 World Cup in quarterfinals
The United States’ U-20 World Cup dreams came to an end on Sunday. The Americans were outplayed for 90 minutes and still managed to force extra time, but there they were bested by Venezuela, 2-1, and sent packing from the tournament in the quarterfinals.
It was a wonder that Venezuela didn’t score in regular time, having a goal ruled out by video replay, twice hitting the bar, forcing Jonathan Klinsmann into a couple fine saves and just missing the net on a couple other opportunities. Meanwhile, the Americans couldn’t do much of anything to threaten the Venezuelan goal.
