USA won their 4 games 30-5. They destroyed these other teams. It looked a lot like how the 2001 age group did against other teams. It's too bad we missed a full season of international games because I think they would've dominated.
I think the difference between the 2001 and 2004 age groups is that the 2001 age group was more top heavy, and this 2004 age group is deeper. This American team has less superstars than that 2001 age group, but they are so deep. There are guys who don't really play that might be first round picks. These other countries are able to match the first few lines. The difference is that they don't have the depth to stay with this American team.
