Yesterday we won against Scotland U20 3:0. We also played with the U20 squad, so as many as 9 players made their debuts in our team. We played with a tactic of 5-3-2. Our goalkeeper and defenders played a very good game, so we didn't lose a goal. The goals were scored by debutants Lewis Sutton two and Al Coolidge one. We will play in a similar lineup in the Mini World Cup U20 tournament. And next week we will play with the U20 squad in an away match against Iceland U20.

In the last match of the season, we won yesterday against Iceland U20 1:0. We had the advantage throughout the match and created more goal situations (13-1 shots). The winning goal in the 24' was scored by Al Coolidge.
We have won 10 out of 13 games this season. We scored 44 goals, lost 8.
Next week we will play against a very strong opponent, U21 World Cup participant Armenia U21, which is ranked several places higher than us in the ranking. It promises to be an interesting match.

Thank you for your votes. I'm happy to be the National Coach of the USA U21 for another season. We will play friendly matches this season, but they are very important to me because we are fighting to move up in the World Ranking.

Here is the USA U21 team with pre-season statistics.

Over the course of this season, our team will be supplemented with more young, promising players.

that's right, I corrected it, thanks :)

On Saturday we drew in a friendly match against higher ranked Armenia 1:1. Both teams played with U20 squads. We dominated the match and were the first to score a goal in the 40th minute of the match. Al Coolidge scored his 3rd goal in the 3rd match. Our opponent had a lot of luck and in the 71st minute they scored a goal for 1:1. In the end of the match we had a lot of shots, we were close to winning, but the match ended with a score of 1:1 with the Armenians happy.
This Saturday we will play in the first round of the U20 Mini World Cup friendly tournament. Our opponent will be Senegal U20. I have never played against this team, but it is one of the best teams in Africa.
I am looking forward to this match and believe in our win.

We won in the first round of the Mini World Cup U20 against Senegal U20 2:0. Both goals for our team were scored by Pierre Shultis. They were his premiere goals for the USA NT. We played with a new tactic of 4-1-2-3. We were the better team and won deservedly.
In the next round we will play against the tournament favorite Lithuania U20. This is a very strong opponent, having recently beaten teams such as Cuba U21 and Romania U21 (World Cup U21 medalists). It will be a tough match, but I believe in our players.

Yesterday we played a very good game against Lithuania U20, but we lacked efficiency and lost 0:1. Our opponent had only one purposeful shot on goal. We played with a new tactic of 4-1-3-2. We dominated and had the advantage in every element of the match (shots: 8-2!). We presented ourselves very well against a very strong opponent. I am sorry that we did not win, because we deserved to win in this match. I made changes in the attack, a total of 4 strikers played, but the opponents' goalie was unbeatable. The engine was not on our side. I hope that in the next matches the results will be fair, because now I feel a huge lack of satisfaction.

Today we won against China U21 5:0. We had a clear advantage in this match (shooting statistic 25-0). We played an offensive tactic of 4-3-3. Our opponent made several counterattacks, but they were stopped by the defenders who played well. We had three debutants such as Conor Muhlenberg (Cro-Mags), Rafael Cassidy (Motor Czechów) and Bruce Baldwin (B & S). The hero of the match was Atlantic FC striker Lewis Sutton, who scored a hattrick. One goal each was scored by Al Coolidge (Warszawa Warszawa (L)) and Cade Dayak (FC Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski).

Yesterday we won against Malaysia U21 6:1! We played effectively on the offensive. Al Coolidge (Warszawa Warszawa (L)) and Lewis Sutton (Atlantic FC) scored a hattrick each. Unfortunately when we were leading 6:0 we lost one goal, after a mistake by our goalkeeper. After this win we are in an excellent 33rd place in the World Ranking. Next week we will play against Latvia U21. This is a difficult opponent with an excellent striker, but I hope we will keep the winning streak.

Today we won against Latvia U21 2:0. The result could have been higher if we had been more effective in attack. The good news is that our opponent did not have a clear situation to score a goal. Two goals for our team were scored by Lewis Sutton (Atlantic FC), assists were scored by: Oswald Tyler (Fenix Barca) and Greg Johnson (Boscy Footbolowcy). A debut in our squad was scored by 19yo midfielder Emanuel Torn (FC Slovan Bratislava 19).
Next week we will play the U20 squad against Ireland U20. It will be a very difficult match.
