US youngsters score slick team goal…before the opposition even touch the ball (Video)

There’s no denying it, the United States is one of the international football teams with the most potential.

A side packed with talented youngsters was unlucky to exit the World Cup in the second round, and their next generation are already impressing.

The Under-23 side took on Canada in a qualifying game for the 2016 Olympics, and made the fastest of fast starts.

Jordan Morris, who scored on his full debut for the senior side, opened the scoring after 34 seconds’ worth of neat interplay between the American players.

And when we say it was all America we mean it – the first touch from a Canadian player came when goalkeeper Maxime Crépeau picked the ball out of the net.
