Remember that U-20 WC? Yep, it's still going on.

Despite the US U-20's abrupt absence...the show goes on.

Today brought the first semifinal:

Czech Republic 2, Austria 0

Tomas Micola and Martin Fenin scored their goals in the first twenty minutes making the last 70 minutes a desperate effort for the Austrians. Okotie and Edwin "Jimmy" Hoffer were effectively neutralized by the stingy Czech defense. The Czechs head to the final against either Argentina or Chile.

Why'd they lose? Would it have been any different if we played a "tough" opponent in Spain? Argentina? or Mexico? An unfortunate event in disguise when we beat Brazil and won the group?

All Star Game vs. Celtic tomorrow on ESPN2 at 9:00pm. Who's watching?
