Event Preview
The U20 World Cup reaches the final seven days on Sunday, and the USA remain in solid contention. America has only reached the semi-final stage on one previous occasion, as they competed in the match for third spot back in 1999. However, they appear to have an excellent chance of at least achieving that finish in Argentina this year.
The U.S. have been dominant throughout the competition to this stage, as they have won all four of their matches without conceding a goal. They took their performance levels to a new height in their round of 16 clash with New Zealand, landing a straightforward 4-0 win.

The U.S. finished their matches very strongly throughout the competition, and that was evident against New Zealand, as they scored three in the final half an hour. However, Uruguay will present their biggest challenge to doubt, as the reigning U20 South American runners-up have grown into the tournament very menacingly this year.
Uruguay booked their spot in the quarterfinals earlier this week with a nervy 1-0 win over Gambia. The South American side battled hard for the win in that match, with Luciano Rodriguez sent off on the stroke of half time. However, their winning goal was netted with just over 20 minutes remaining by Anderson Duarte.
USA vs Uruguay Prediction
This is a fascinating quarterfinal showdown between these two nations, and cases can be made for both. However, we are leaning toward the USA claiming victory on Sunday, as they have shown exciting attacking soccer throughout the competition. We also feel safe relying on their defensive backline, which has been unbreakable throughout the U20 World Cup to this point.
