The FIFA U17 World Cup has kicked-off in Indonesia as South Korea face USMNTin a mouth-watering Group E clash with both sides eyeing to start their World Cup campaign with a victory.
South Korea U17 have never won the prestigious U17 trophy as the Asian side are vying to end their trophy drought and finish on a high. Their last outing was against Japan in the U17 AFC Asian Cup Final where they were handed a shambolic 3-0 defeat and Byun Sung-Hwan's men would be looking to change their fortunes this time out.
The USMNT U17 men also faced a disastrous loss in the CONCACAF final where they were defeated by Mexico U17. The side's best finish in the tournament was when they finished fourth in 1999 when the competition was held in New Zealand and the side will look to change that. With France U17 touted to lead the pack at the end, USMNT will want to win their encounter against South Korea and march through to the next round.
