A 5-0 win over Paraguay sends the USA to the U-17 World Cup quarterfinals, where it will face the winner of Tuesday's England-Japan game.

After starting the U-17 World Cup with two wins that clinched second-round passage, the USA fell, 3-1, to Colombia. A costly defeat.

The USA's problems against Trinidad & Tobago began with an Omar Gonzalez own goal, but the failure was a team effort.

The USA is off to its best start at the biennial U-17 World Cup since 2005.

In one of the most high-pressure games the USA has faced, fears of failing to qualify for the 2018 World Cup were greatly alleviated.

The USA was five minutes away from losing control of its World Cup 2018 qualifying campaign when Bobby Wood scored to salvage a 1-1 tie with Honduras that keeps the teams tied in the standings. Wood was one of three players who had an impact off the bench.

Unbeaten in its last four World Cup qualifiers, the USA took it on chin in New Jersey. Marco Urena, who plays his club ball for the San Jose Earthquakes, scored one goal in each half to give Costa Rica a 2-0 win.

Jozy Altidore and Jordan Morris scored the goals, but there were many players who had strong games for the USA in the 2-1 victory over Jamaica to capture the 2017 Gold Cup before an announced crowd of 63,032 in Santa Clara, California.

After 120 minutes of scoreless play in its quarterfinal against Serbia, the USA exited the U-20 World Cup with a loss from the penalty spot. The semifinal pairings: Mali-Serbia and Brazil-Senegal.

The USA rallied to beat the host Netherlands for the first time ever with a 4-3 comeback victory. Its second-half struggles continued when it conceded two quick goals at the beginning of the second half to fall behind, 3-1. But youngsters DeAndre Yedlin, Bobby Wood and Jordan Morris came off the bench to spearhead the comeback -- along with Michael Bradley. Goals by German-Americans John Brooks and Danny Williams evened the scored before Wood's improbable winner in the 90th minute.
