The USA has already clinched a place in the knock-out phase of the FIFA U-20 World Cup, but there is still one Group B berth on the line on the final match day.. here is what we know:
The U.S. can clinch the top place in the group with a win or a tie against China OR a France tie or loss to Argentina
Should France win and the USA lose, the tie breakers would come into play to determine who would be the top team... here are the tiebreakers:
-Goal Differential (currently: USA +6, France -1)
-Goals Scored (currently USA 6, France 2)
-Head to Head (USA 3, France 0) *this is as far as it could possibly go
For the second quarterfinal berth out of Group B:
France has the edge with three points heading into Wednesday's game after their win over China
Argentina and China both have one point, but... Argentina can take second place with a win over France. China can vault into second with a win, a French loss and some tiebreakers with Argentina.
As the governing body of soccer in all its forms in the United States, U.S. Soccer has helped chart the course for the sport in the USA for more than 90 years. In this time, the Federation’s mission statement has been very simple and very clear: to make soccer, in all its forms, a preeminent sport in the United States and to continue the development of soccer at all recreational and competitive levels.
