USA vs. St. Kitts and Nevis, CONCACAF U-20 Championship: How to Watch, TV Info, Live Stream, Rosters, Match Thread and More
Welcome to your live match thread for the United States Under-20 Men’s National Team match, as the Yanks face St. Kitts and Nevis in the final game of the 2017 CONCACAF U-20 Championship group stage! After a poor outing against Panama, the USA rebounded with a come-from-behind, blowout against Haiti.
Against Haiti, the U.S. started slow and went down early, but the Americans were able to tie the game before the end of the half. In the last 45 minutes, the U.S. dominated and, thanks to a Brooks Lennon hat trick, won 4-1. The Real Salt Lake academy product, who is on loan with RSL from Liverpool for 2017, was deservingly named Man of the Match.
Orlando City’s Tommy Redding started and played the full 90. Redding will start again and, if things go the Yanks’ way, will get another 90 minutes, under his belt. It is vital for the Orlando City Homegrown player’s development that the U.S. wins and moves on in the tournament.
After this round, the top two teams from each group qualify for the classification stage. The classification stage consists of two groups of three teams. Each team will play one another in their respective group, and the top two teams from each group qualify for the U-20 World Cup. In addition, the top teams from each group will play each other in the tournament final.

Match Thread Rules
This is your live thread for posting comments on the match. So use our comments section below to talk about the game in real time with other supporters. If you're new, welcome to our happy home! While you're here, please observe a few basic rules:
- Absolutely no links to illegal streams. They can get us in trouble, and no one wants that.
- Try not to be "that guy" who spews nothing but venom and hate for the team. It's OK to be critical, and, let's face it, sometimes even the best teams can be frustrating to watch, but being overly negative relentlessly can sap the enjoyment for others.
- Keep it somewhat clean and fair when criticizing players / officials. You never know who might be reading.
- Do unto others in the match thread, the way you would have others do unto you. We are a fun community and want to keep it this way. We have a moderator, but we'd rather let him enjoy the game instead of having to play babysitter.
Enjoy the match!
