Looking at the last two posts, I think Wisky is wrong. These are 20 year olds -- they shouldn't need the extra recovery time. I think in this tournament you are going for the higher seed.
I did see the game (woke up at 5:30 and watched the recording). The offense was much, much sharper with this lineup. More short passing and off ball movements. Agaoinst Myanmar, they clearly were just trying to win on raw athleticism alone.
US beat Qatar 1-0 in France, finishing 2-2 (wins v. the Dutch and Qatar, losses v. France U20's and CR). The French U20 team is beating pretty much everybody's U23's that they've played.Also in the U-23 tournament, Julian Green scored. He's the only player to start all four games.

I've only seen the highlights. But it sounds like Hyndman and Zelalem were brilliant, Miazga and CCV were great in central defense and Rubin was really active on the night. Sounds like Rubin stole a goal from Bradford Jamieson. Is that about right? Hopefully I will have some time tonight to watch it.
I think Myanmar had one good game in their legs. Technically really gifted but they were probably spent after standing up to the US.

Yea, I think. From the highlights I saw, he tapped one in that was probably going in anyway.I've only seen the highlights.

I'm hoping he comes good for Arsenal and the USNT. That Rabona Nutmeg he pulled off was sweet. Here's a page that has a couple clips of him vs NZ.I watched the game yesterday up until the third goal. Zelalem is all that. He's very Iniesta/Xavi like. He plays smooth and seemingly slow. The Kiwis we're so baffled by him that he was always getting space and if he didn't he would dribble out of trouble and make a neat pass forward that actually penetrated. Sometimes it wouldn't come off but it was always pretty. Physically he needs to grow a bit, I don't know if I would want him on the Gold Cup Team but I wouldn't complain.

3 or 4 years from now, where do you seem him slotting in on the pitch for the Gunners (fingers crossed)?

I think the real answer was Mesut Özil. (Even though he's actually playing the Cazorla position now.)Supposed quote from Arsene Wenger
Q: Why didn't you resign Cesc Fabergas?
A: Gedion Zelalem
They don't go from Arsenal to Bayern, they go from Arsenal to Barcelona.

730 days, Real Madrid has already picked out his locker for him.How much longer until the Doomsday Clock at White Hart Lane hits Zero and Harry Kane gets signed by Chelsea, Liverpool or jumps ship to Spain?
You expect him to "Bale" on Spurs and head to Real so easily??730 days, Real Madrid has already picked out his locker for him.
