U.S. U20 MNT clinches 2019 World Cup berth

The U20 MNT (1999 cycle) has qualified for next year's world cup in Poland. Although mostly comprised of 1999 birth years, there are some 2000's and a couple of 2001's.  There is some NTX representation again (all of it from FC Dallas). Congratulations to all of them, wishing them ongoing success and maybe some day we will see them with the US MNT.

The U20s not only qualified to the 2019 U20 WC but also outplayed Mexico in the championship game. The local representation: Paxton Pomykal, Brandon Servania and Chris Richards all had a solid final game and tournament overall.
