Venezuela vs. USA: Team News, Live Stream, TV Info for U-20 FIFA World Cup 2017

The United States will have to beat Venezuela in the quarter-finals of the 2017 FIFA Under-20 World Cup on Sunday if they're to continue their campaign and advance to the tournament's last four.

Both teams won their respective groups in the first stage of the competition, although Venezuela look like a dangerous beast thus far in the contest considering they're yet to even concede a goal.

The United States, meanwhile, are coming off the back of a morale-boosting 6-0 victory over New Zealand in the round of 16, and they'll be motivated to become the first team to break Venezuela down at the back.

Venue: Jeonju World Cup Stadium, Jeonju, South Korea

Preview

The United States came to South Korea billed as one of the contenders to take this year's crown, but Venezuela are an opponent the Stars and Stripes would be wise to treat with care.

Coach Tab Ramos' side may be riding high on the wave of their recent mauling of New Zealand, but Ives Galarcep of Goal recently suggested he's expecting a much bigger test this Sunday:

It's not as though the South American nation has got to this point of the competition by any fluke, either, after they dominated Group B with a perfect record, scoring 10 goals in three matches while conceding none.

That feat becomes all the more impressive when one considers Mexico and Germany—no pushovers in their own right—were both in the pool alongside Vanuatu, but they still were unable to restrain Venezuela.

While the United States may have emerged in the knockout stage after topping Group F, their first-round run was nowhere near as impressive, taking five points from three matches, making them the lowest-scoring group winners.

Broadcaster Juan Arango recently highlighted the strength of South America's nations in this particular tournament, with teams from the continent making up for almost half of the quarter-finals spots:

One of the United States' biggest priorities will be getting star man Josh Sargent back in the goals this Sunday, with the 17-year-old having cooled his scoring streak after starting the World Cup in such promising fashion.

Venezuela have advanced this far as a result of playing as a sum of their parts rather than relying on individual stars, a practicality that could prove to be the Stars and Stripes' undoing in the end.
