RS Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 USA defeats Trinidad & Tobago in U-20 Group A Qualifying; Panama ties Costa Rica 13.1.05 - The USA began the 2005 CONCACAF Under-20 Final Round Qualification Group A with a 6:1 victory over Trinidad & Tobago at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California on Wednesday evening, while the other encounter, Panama held Costa Rica to a 1:1 tie. Eddie Gaven scored three times for the host USA (1-0-0, 3 Points) and Freddy Adu and Will John each added another, while Kevin Crooks had the only tally for Trinidad & Tobago (0-1-0, 0 Points) in the loss.

beachesl Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 US U-20s' end up winning 2-0 over Panama, and qualify for Holland. http://www.ussoccer.com/news/fullstory.sps?iNewsid=142159&itype=113&iCategoryID=0 The last spot comes down to Costa Rica and Panama, and it will probably come down to goal difference, with Panama in a good spot at the moment IF the US doesn't decide to use the second team.
