It’s been a bumpy ride for the U.S. Under 20 Men’s National Team at the Toulon Tournament over the past week.

After picking up a win over the Democratic Republic of Congo on Saturday – its first of the tournament – head coach Tab Ramos has learned a lot about his squad and where things stand ahead of the U20 World Cup that will kick off later this month in Turkey.
