Round 2 will be 2 groups of 3 and each team
will play 2 games. The top 2 teams qualify directly to the FIFA U-20 World Cup.
The other 2 teams will be seeded. While the 2nd place team will play
the 3rd of the other group and vice versa. Then the 2 winners will
play for 3rd place and the vital last CONCACAF spot in the World
Cup.
It will be Tab Ramos who will guide this young hungry group. Each tournament we are seeing more players from MLS academy teams.
