The Valentin Chronicles - From Busan, South Korea

June 21, 2004

BUSAN, South Korea (June 21, 2004) - The U.S. Under-20s are in Busan, South Korea and Jules is once again providing an inside look into the team and their countless adventures. In this first edition from across the globe, Jules starts off by thanking those involved with his two years in U.S. Soccer's U-17 Residency after graduating in May before diving in to the Under-20's first few days at the Korean port city. Between checking out a fish markets filled with odd creatures caught in the Sea of Japan and being feeling like rock stars as Korean teenage girls gawk, scream, and cry by the mere sight of the players, the Under-20s have also been preparing for their opening match against the hosts on Tuesday in the round-robin tournament that also includes Brazil and Poland.
