Despite failure, future bright for US U-20 players
GUATEMALA CITY, Guatemala ? Less than nine hours after the United States U-20 national team lost 2-1 to the host nation in the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Championship, Dillon Powers wandered into the departure area at La Aurora International Airport.
The Notre Dame midfielder, still wearing a tournament credential that read “jugador” around his neck, joined teammates Omar Salgado, Kelyn Rowe and a few other members of the US team as they sat in varying stages of dejection, waiting for flights that would send them to varying destinations around the world.
