Shaq Moore, Payne, Delgado, Jordan Allen, Matt Miazga and Acosta received one yellow card apiece during the group stage. If any of those players receives a second caution in the Round of 16 and the USA wins, the player will have to sit out a match, missing the USA’s quarterfinal game. All cautions are waived following the quarterfinal round.

The USA and Colombia have never met at the FIFA U-20 World Cup. On the international stage, the two have met twice in other competitions: at the 1993 U-17 World Cup (a 1-2 U.S. loss), and at the 1994 FIFA World Cup (a 2-1 win), which featured current U-20 head coach Tab Ramos.
The USA is 5-7-0 all-time against CONMEBOL teams at the U-20 World Cup.

After losing its first six meetings against South American teams from 1981-1997, the USA has gone 5-1 against its southern continental neighbors, including wins in the final three meetings: defeating Argentina 1-0 in 2005 and with 2-1 victories over Brazil and Uruguay in 2007.

Colombia is 3-2-0 all-time against CONCACAF teams. Its last two meetings were in 2013 when they defeated Costa Rica 3-2 in group play before losing to Mexico 1-3 in the Round of 16.
