The U.S. U-20 men's team plays a second Milk Cup match in Northern Ireland this afternoon at 3:00 p.m. against Denmark. A win would give the U.S. a spot in the tournament's final.
If you want to get a glance at new MLS signing Omar Salgado, New York Red Bull Juan Agudelo, or any of the other U.S. U-20s that Thomas Rongen brought over for the tournament in Europe, be sure to tune in to the stream below, provided by the BBC.
For those watching, please share your thoughts, comments and play-by-play below.
Just realized the BBC media player volume setting goes to 11. Fantastic, made my day.
Or to zero 🙂
So the US has one sub left, right?
Any thoughts of who should come on?
Could it be said that right now we are…”streaming milk”????? ew.
Interesting that Salgado looks like he’s on the wing rather than as the top striker.
Salgado has some real speed.
Yeah, they’re crazy.
It’s getting turned off if they use “fair play” incorrectly again.
Anyone else notice you can turn up the volume to 11? That might be the one positive of this production.
Who is calling this game? GOLDMEMBER?? I feel like this game is trapped in a bad scene from Austin Powers 3. (if only Beyonce could be there) But hey, at least they sold a lot of tickets for the game! great atmosphere.
I know. Denmark was allowed to take the ball up, almost score, lose it and get countered.
Then, minutes later, they get a free kick and a Gale gets a yellow card for the play that happened before all of that.
Ooh, can i pile on? This BBC Blast production is so horrible. What do these teenagers think they’re doing trying to put on this broadcast? I’m so upset that this game — which i should have no reason to expect to be broadcast — doesn’t have fantastic commentary and half-time production, etc. I mean, sure they know all the kid’s names and they’re offering up half-decent analysis, but if only they weren’t so boring.
I like the older kits too. Hints at the flag, but to heavy on the stripes. Also prefer the white-blue-white to all whites.
Ditto.
If the ref want’s to give the card fine, but you can’t let the play continue then call it back and give the penalty.
Who is #21? Not listed on the roster.
Welp, we found commentators more boring than american ones… Its like watching golf.
Did the linesman just make that up?
A yellow card almost 3 minutes after the play occurred?
Yeah, not all the guys who would be on the first team u-20 aren’t/weren’t available on this team. A good look at the 6-foot-4 16-year-old Salgado though …
Molano just WORKED that kid.
The USA team needs someone in the middle.
Unfortunately, Gil and Jack Mac are not available.
Thank you.
Gale is a rock and expect to see him at the olympics in the next two years
Yes, he is. He’s had his moments with some decent runs, but ultimately there isn’t that midfield facilitator to make it work out there.
1-1
What is the score? Sorry I am coming in late…
Thanks SBI for this. Good stuff. I’m really liking Gale as well.
All I have to say is this halftime show is making Allan Hopkins look like Bob Costas.
Came in a little late, is Salgado starting?
number 10 Navas Cobo too
Gale looks great, and the commentators love him.
Man, Agbossoumonde looks like a wall out there. He’s everywhere.
Dom Kinnear’s next project (previous see: Stuart Holden, geoff Cameron, Danny Cruz) is number 10 Navas Cobo. Ives has commented on his potential
Need a midfield creator instead of Nungaray: Molano, maybe?
I believe it was Earnest Nungary. The camera angle isn’t very good but the number looked like a two digit number with either a 6 or an 8 as the last number. I could be completely wrong though because it was hard to see.
Anybody catch the US goal scorer? Looked like a scrum and the ball went in for us.
Horrible positioning by Badr… wow.
Badr is not looking good at all…
Wow, this isn’t good football at all…thought at this age we would be much better.
Badr is starting today…
Is Badr starting today because I saw that McMath started the last game (I believe)
Down side is you have to do some research still at the moment. A lot of these younger guys are spread between club teams, college and making the youth squads of larger clubs in Europe (like Gale and Badr or even like those not called up like Gyau at Hoffenheim – achtzehn99.de). Yanks Abroad has been pretty good about doing the interviews for you as have occasional articles from other sites like soccerinsiders.
Wearing the old kits. I like it.
#9 Omar Salgado (scored against China)
#22 Gale Agbossoumonde (currently with Sporting Braga in Portugal)
#24 Samir Badr (B team for Porto in Portugal)
are all good to watch.
anyone know of a place where you can get some scouting reports on these guys? you can find out everything you will ever want to know about some 16 year old short stop from the dominican republic but can barely find anything on the next generation of soccer players
Salgado, and Badr for sure
Gale Agbossoumonde, 22.
who should i familiarize myself with?
Here they are:

Anybody know the US lineup / shirt #s ?
