YOUTH: Schmid names 20 players for U-20 trip to Korea

U.S. under-20 national team coach Sigi Schmid named a 20-man roster for the Suwon International Youth Football Tournament in Suwon, South Korea, March 22-26. The U-20s will face Argentina, Egypt and South Korea in the four-team tournament, which will serve as preparation for the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship in the Netherlands from June 10-July 2.

The Americans will face Argentina and Egypt in the Netherlands.

Only two players who were on the 18-man roster during the CONCACAF qualifying tournament will be missing: midfielder Freddy Adu, who will be unable to make the trip due to commitments with his MLS club, D.C. United, and UCLA defender Marvell Wynne, who is injured.

Nine professionals — seven from MLS, and one each from reserve teams in France and Mexico — are heading to Korea.
