If you watch any of the multitude of sports channels available to you, you've probably seen a commercial for the Under-19 World Football Championship. Taking place in Austin, it pits eight countries, the United States included, against each other and takes place beginning late this month and carrying into early July.

With practices for the teams beginning this weekend, players on Team USA arrived in the capital City on Friday. 45 players from across the nation will spend the next two weeks in the ATX trying to win a world title. For all of them, donning the stars and stripes is something they're very excited to do.
