It’s hard to imagine many of you had your eyes glued to the U.S. Under-20 soccer team World Cup qualifier game Friday. So, we’ll provide you with the one highlight you need to see, and it comes via youngster Eryk Williamson.
With the U.S. leading 1-0 in the first half of against El Salvador, Williamson made one of the most epic shots you’ll ever see. Getting the ball well outside the box, Williamson chests the ball down to his feet. From there, he fires a laser you have to see:
Are you kidding me, Eryk Williamson? Chests it down and strikes from way outside the box.

Not only was this goal just ridiculous, it ended up being the game-winning goal. And with the U.S.’s win, the Americans automatically qualify for the Under-20 World Cup.
Way to be, Eryk. Your valiant effort is something all us Americans should feel pride in.
