I imagine we go with our "best squad" in this game. With so many games over a 15 day period, there's going to be a lot of rotation. I have no idea about the quality of CONCACAF U20 teams, but our game two opponent (Panama) beat Guate handily in qualifying. So I do wonder whether Tab may think about saving just a few guys for game #2 (which in only two days from now). I wouldn't. I'd make sure of a great start. All group games: GROUP A SCHEDULE Friday, Jan. 9 Aruba vs. Panama US vs. Guatemala (FOX Sports 2) Jamaica vs. Trinidad & Tobago Sunday, Jan. 11 Trinidad & Tobago vs. Aruba Panama vs. US (FOX Sports 2) Jamaica vs. Guatemala
Doesn't look like it. There's no mention on the site about streaming games. Fox Soccer 2 Go is streaming them all.
It's actually $10 for the first month so you'd be able to see the rest of the USA U20 games too. Just remember to cancel the subscription or you'll end up with an annual subscription for $140.
yep, also looks like we can sit in the FirstRow for this game as well. Good seats though a bit blurry sometimes.

Watched parts of the Panama-Aruba match. I like the Aruba anthem a lot. But they are quite terrible. Panama scored four, and shortly after the half, stopped trying. Neither team seems top class, but Panama can be dangerous: speedy guys on the flanks, and Ismael has some moves.
Games are every 2-3 days. No set top lineup. RT @markmickelson13 wow. No hyndman— Brian Sciaretta (@BrianSciaretta) January 9, 2015
I wouldn't doubt that Hyndman's release for this tournament was contingent on him not going 90 every game.
If we win the group and automatically qualify for the WC, wouldn't be surprised if he goes back to Fulham before the Final.
