After winning Group D at the 2010 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup, the United States will face Group C runner-up Nigeria in its quarterfinal match on Sunday, July 25 at 4:30 a.m. CT live on ESPNU.
A U.S. Women’s National Team has never faced an African team in the knockout round of a Women’s World Cup, although the senior U.S. WNT has faced Nigeria in the first round of the last three FIFA Women’s World Cup tournaments and also in group play at the 2000 Olympics. It will be the second meeting with an African team in this tournament for the U.S. U-20s, which tied Ghana 1-1 in its first group match, and will mark the first time the USA has faced two African teams in a Women’s World Cup. Nigeria has scored only four goals, but has allowed just three in tying two group matches 1-1 against England and Mexico and defeating Japan, 2-1. Nigeria was less than 13 minutes from winning Group C as it led Mexico by 1-0 score in the final group game for both teams.
The United States has won its group at all five FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cups that have been contested, dating back to the inaugural tournament in 2002. Groups were actually won by two CONCACAF sides as Mexico took a big step in its women’s soccer history by taking the top spot in Group C. The other two groups were won by European teams as Germany rolled through Group A and Sweden took top honors in Group B.
FRISCO, Texas (July 8, 2010) – On the 75th anniversary of the James P. McGuire Cup, the Under-19 Boys US Youth Soccer National Championship final will be broadcast live on Fox Soccer Channel from the Overland Park Soccer Complex in Overland Park, Kan., beginning at 7:30 p.m. CT on Saturday, July 24.
The Under-19 Boys James P. McGuire Cup is the oldest trophy in youth sport dating back to 1935 with the inaugural youth championships and played annually except during World War II. Officially known as the United States Soccer Federation National Junior Challenge Cup, the competition was renamed the James P. McGuire Junior Champion Cup in 1975, after the late United States Soccer Federation President. He played for the Brooklyn Wanderers in 1929, and later joined the Brooklyn St. Mary’s Celtics who with McGuire at midfield won the U.S. Open Cup. James McGuire also served on World Cup and various other FIFA committees, and earned an international reputation as an excellent soccer administrator and leader.
“As the official broadcast partner of US Youth Soccer, we are thrilled to showcase the U-19 Boys Championship on live television, and on the momentous 75th anniversary of the McGuire Cup,” said David Nathanson, General Manager of Fox Soccer Channel. “On the heels of the men’s national team’s exciting run in South Africa, we now have the opportunity to see future U.S. stars take the stage and continue to chase their dreams.”
Pregame coverage begins Saturday, July 24 at 7:30 p.m. ET, leading into kickoff at 8 p.m. from the Overland Park Soccer Complex in Overland Park, Kan. The Under-19 Boys final will be the first youth soccer championship broadcast in high definition, with Brad Porter and Sasha Victorine calling all the action.

Springfield Catholic celebrates State Championship, 2010
I’ve gotten to know Natalie in her three years of High School play, from my early interview with her and her close friend Rachel Scott as freshmen following a key win, to this season as she accepted the reigns of responsibility for leading her championship squad. I’m proud to know she’s using my photo of her celebrating, as Bekah Bade runs to find her first after scoring the eventual game-winner in the championship game. Yet when asked for a photo to use in the KSMU story, she used the one I took of her teamates holding the trophy. Much as Landon Donovan ushered his teammates onto the stage first at the Espy’s and featured Bocanegra as the first speaker, despite the award for Greatest Moment being given in his name. Teams win, not players, and Natalie is a leader that knows that in her heart and leads by example, the best method I know.

Sydney Leroux, U20 US WNT 2010 (UCLA) by ISI Photos
Leroux’s hat trick was just the fourth in Women’s World Cup history for the USA and first in a youth World Cup since Kelly Wilson scored three times against Denmark during a 6-0 quarterfinal victory at the 2002 FIFA U-19 Women’s World Cup. The other hat tricks came in the 1991 FIFA Women’s World Cup when Michelle Akers scored five times in a 7-0 win against Chinese Taipei and Carin Gabarra famously notched three goals in a 5-2 semifinal victory against Germany. The right-footed Leroux scored all three goals with her left foot.
The USA heads into its final Group D match against the Korea Republic on July 21 in Bielefeld (11 a.m. CT on ESPN2) needing a win or a tie to advance to the quarterfinals. A win would clinch the group title for the USA.
The Americans sit second in the group with four points from two games behind the Koreans, who have six points after two wins. The USA could possibly advance even with a loss as the Americans hold a commanding goal difference lead over Ghana, which has just one point after falling 4-2 to the Koreans in the first Group D match of the day. The Swiss, who face Ghana in Bochum on July 21, have zero points and have been eliminated from the tournament.
