A quick glimpse of the U-20 men's national team sheet would suggest
that coach Thomas Rongen has it made. On defense, he has the emerging

The fall semester in the eighth year of U.S. Soccer’s Full-Time
Residency Program kicked off in late August 2006. With only a year
until the 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup, the 40-player roster consists
almost entirely of eligible players (born on or after Jan. 1, 1990), as
26 of the players were born in 1990 and 13 in 1991. Eleven of the 12
older players (born in 1988 and 1989) moved on to college or the

last year, and again last Sunday — and each time the final has been a
stinker. Read more

technique and that's the most important thing. You ask about speed or
technique but if you don't have good technique then you're not going to

"The message is that it is not about whether you’ve got one striker or
two strikers. The question is how balanced your team is, and how you
use players on the pitch. Some years ago, you would find when crosses
were coming into the penalty area, you would have four people inside
the penalty area – today it’s rather a question of two, three of four
players arriving in the area, because they’re coming from deeper areas.
