Game 2 of the U-20 World Cup went much better for the Yanks than their first try, a 3-0 loss to Germany.
On Tuesday, the United States thrashed Cameroon 4-1, thanks in large part to players with South Florida connections.
Bryan Arguez, the former Kendall Soccer Coalition player currently on the Hertha Berlin roster, scored in first-half stoppage time, while Tony Taylor, recently signed by Traffic, added a goal in the second half.
The win puts the Americans in strong position to advance to the elimination stage with a positive result against Korea Friday.
I'm impressed... I hope Miami gets to see Taylor play next season in whatever league Miami FC will be playing in!
