THE FINAL PREPARATION BEFORE FINLAND
The U.S. Under-17 Men's National Team will face Nigeria at Manchester
United's Carrington Training Center on Saturday (August 9) at 11 a.m. in its
fourth and final World Championship preparation match in England. In the
past week, the U.S. has won all three of its previous matches against
Blackburn Rovers (4-2), Australia (1-0) and Manchester United (2-1). After
the match against Nigeria, the U.S. will travel to Lahti, Finland on Sunday,
August 10 to compete in the 2003 FIFA Under-17 World Championship.
QUICK HITS
* 14-year-old Freddy Adu may not play in Saturday's game against
Nigeria due to a slight ankle sprain he suffered during the Manchester
United game on Thursday. As a precaution he didn't practice on Friday
morning and is listed as day-to-day, but should be fine when the team
arrives in Finland
* Co-captain Corey Ashe is also a bit banged up with a right
quadriceps strain and also sat out during practice on Friday.
* Nigeria defeated an Everton FC youth team 3-0 on Wednesday.
* Every field player saw action during the team's 2-1 win over
Manchester United on Thursday (August 7). The only two players to remain on
the bench were goalkeepers Phil Marfuggi and Steve Sandbo.
* The team took a trip to Manchester United's stadium, Old Trafford,
today after practice. The team got a tour of the stadium, which included the
chance to see the players' locker room and entrance tunnel.
* The U.S. Under-17 MNT last faced Nigeria in the 2001 FIFA Under-17
World Championship in Trinidad & Tobago, falling to the eventual runner-up
of the tournament 2-0.
* Nigeria is also competing in the World Championship and is in the
Group B, considered the "Group of Death," along with Argentina, Costa Rica
and Australia.
* Nigeria lost to Sierra Leone, the USA's second opponent at the World
Championship, 1-0 in the semi-finals of the African Junior Championship.
Nigeria still qualified for Finland by taking winning the third place match
over Egypt 3-1.
