[U.S. U-20 MEN] U.S. under-20 national team coach Tab Ramos will bring 20 players -- 17 pros and three collegians -- to Vichy, France, to train for five days and play two friendlies against the France U-20s on May 17 and May 19.

The USA failed to qualify for the 2011 Under-20 World Cup, resulting in the decision not to renew U.S. head coach Thomas Rongen’s contract at the end of this year.

Sean Cunningham and Josh Gatt (both Molde in Norway), Conor Doyle (Derby County in England), Kofi Sarkodie (Houston Dynamo) and Luis Gil (Real Salt Lake) have all played for their first teams this season.

Six players -- Anthony Brooks, Cody Cropper, Jerome Kiesewetter, Daniel Potts, Cunningham and Gil -- are age-eligible for the U-20 team’s next cycle that will lead into the 2013 Concacaf U-20 Championship and 2013 U-20 World Cup.
