Soccer Friday: Miller covers 3 FIFA U20 World Cup games – Ukraine v USA, Qatar v Nigeria, and Uruguay v Norway – also FC Utrecht v Vitesse

USA! USA! USA!

The Americans take the field in Poland Friday to kick off their U20 World Cup campaign, which starts with a lot of hype. We will see if they live up to it today, as they face a tough test against Ukraine in Group D play.

There are four games today, two each in Group C and D. In C play, Uruguay, which has always done well at this level, will take on Norway.

The Eredivisie UEFA Europa League playoff final starts its first leg today in Utrecht, with the second leg Tuesday. FC Utrecht will host Vitesse, after each advanced past tough completion last round.

In six of the last seven times the two teams have played, both teams scored. But the only time it was a scoreless draw was April 14, which was the last time they played.

Utrecht scored multiple goals in both first round playoff matches, while Vitesse did at home.
