Both the USA and Germany had rolled past Australia and New Zealand, setting up the clash in the final match for both teams that would decide the title.

Chris is also the step son of current U-20 men's national team coach Thomas Rongen, but his biological father is from Puerto Rico. After spending several years playing locally and coaching for D.C. United's youth academy, Megaloudis decided to have a go at the Puerto Rican team, forfeiting any future option of playing for the United States. [more +] |
