Little update here -- the US u-17s are up 3-0 in the 64th minute in the round of 16, against Paraguay. If they manage to complete the win, they'd advance (duh) to the round of 8 (also duh). That'd be the best finish for the u17s since 1999, which had a few players you've heard of.

Ended up winning 5-0 with a hat-trick from Tim Weah and will face Japan/England in the semis.  For those who don't know, Tim's father, George Weah, was a Ballon d'Or/FIFA World Player of the Year back in the 90s.  Obviously U-17 performance doesn't guarantee anything for the senior team, but at least there's some reason for optimism.  A handful of these guys might be on the 2022 roster as they'll be 20-21 at that time.
