What are the objective facts that lead to the nomination of a "Man of the Match" at a FIFA World Cup™ match? Such questions are meat and drink to the TSG, or Technical Study Group, a prestigious phalanx of some of soccer's top technicians. Their mission: to dissect the most effective tactical plans and latest advances in the game in order to transmit them to the world.

USA defeats Haiti 1-0. Craig Capano with the goal.

[Soccerdad]

The U.S. U-20s beat Jamaica, 4-0, on Thursday for their third straight shutout win in three days. St. Louis University forward Will John scored two goals and provided one assist.

Coach Thomas Rongen's team had beaten Jamaica (1-0) and a Haitian select team (1-0) team on Tuesday and Wednesday.

"This was a little bit better performance than our first meeting with Jamaica," said Rongen. "In this match we did a better job of finishing and I thought we were a little tighter in the back that enabled us to get our third shutout of the week. We're still working on some things, but I'm looking forward to our final game against Haiti and hopefully end the camp on a high note."

Starting in the 27th minute, the Americans scored three goals in a nine-minute span. John hit the first on an assist by Stuart Holden; Christian Jimenez's free kick set up a Kamani Hill goal; and Jimenez got a goal of his own after a feed from John, who beat three defenders after Jamaica coughed oup the ball following its kickoff.

Second-half substitute Michael Bradley's chip set up John's second goal, in the 71st minute.
