Notable players
.^ The people of Argentina want a World Cup.
^ Throughout the whole game and even up to the penalty kicks, the whole team was confident we would win.
^ Of the players selected, 15 were part of the squad that took second in Charleston, S.C., in November of last year to qualify for the USAs fourth consecutive World Youth Championship.
Facts
- Argentina and Uruguay hold the record for the most international matches played between two countries.^ The U.S. Under-20s finished their two-year cycle with a 16-6-4 international record, with 13 of the 16 victories coming under the direction of Schmid who took over in November of 2003.
^ His two goals certainly put him in higher standing for a place in the starting line-up.
^ On Sunday, the U.S. will play Brazil for third place in a preliminary for the title match between China and North Korea.
. The two teams have faced each other 161 times since 1901. The first match against Uruguay was the first official international match to be played outside the United Kingdom.^ In other words, Messi is playing like a guy who was tied down to a chair while watching his team win a title - and has now been let loose.
^ When your team scores three goals, and you score two and assist the other, you know you've had a good game.
^ Speaking of supporting your local team, Toronto FC lost their first game of the season against Columbus Crew.

.^ The people of Argentina want a World Cup.
^ With the World Cup two years away it's not too late for Cavenaghi.

.^ Along with Adu’s three goals, Danny Szetela added two goals and Josmer Altidore added one to tie the highest goal output by a U.S. team in a U-20 World Cup.
^ SUEZ, Egypt -- The United States lost to South Korea 3-0 Friday night in its final first-round match at the Under-20 World Cup, but still can advance.
^ The U.S., which has opened four previous Youth World Championships with a win only to lose in the second, had the better of play in the first half, but started to fade midway through the second and held on as Germany took over the game in the final 20 minutes.
.^ SUEZ, Egypt -- The United States lost to South Korea 3-0 Friday night in its final first-round match at the Under-20 World Cup, but still can advance.
^ Six players selected were members of the U.S. team that competed in the FIFA Under-17 World Championship in Finland, including D.C. United’s Freddy Adu .
