Chile Recap

Mendoza, Argentina -- Wake Forest rising sophomore Brian Carroll started played the full 90 minutes in the midfield to help the United States defeat Chile in group play at the World Youth Championships on Tuesday in Argentina. Carroll is a member of the USA's Under-20 National Team.

The Americans put themselves in a wonderful position to advance to the second round of the FIFA World Youth Championship. DaMarcus Beasley led the U.S. attack with two goals and an assist, and Bobby Convey added two assists, as the U.S. rebounded from Sunday's loss to China to post a commanding win reminiscent of the USA's scorching run through CONCACAF qualifying earlier this year.

The United States, who now sit third in Group C with three points after two games, will finish group play on June 23 with a 2 p.m. (local) match against Ukraine (four points). Following the USA - Ukraine match, China (four points) and Chile (zero points) square off in the final Group C match. With a win, the U.S. will clinch a spot in the round of sixteen and at least a second-place finish in the group. The top two finishers in each group advance to the next round, as do the top-four third-place group finishers. With a draw or a loss on Saturday, the U.S. will have to wait for the other groups to finish to learn if they will advance.
