WATCH JOZY SCORE, WATCH HUNTER ... HUNT

Red Bulls Jozy Altidore and Hunter Freeman will be part of the U.S. U-23 Olympic squad that will be taking on Cuba tonight at 8 PM ET at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, FL.

The match will be televised on FSC, ESPN Desportes, and ESPN360.com. Just a few notes on tonight's showdown:

- Cuba progressed to this stage of the tournament by defeating Grenada and finishing first in its group.
- Jozy is the youngest U.S. goalscorer of the modern era after he found the back of the net in his first senior team start on Feb. 6 against Mexico. He is also one of five players who were part of the U-20 World Cup last year.
- Interestingly enough, even though many consider Hunter to be a right back, he has played left back in the past at various U.S. youth levels. So don't be surprised to see him on the opposite side.
- This will be the first match-up between the two sides at the U-23 level.

All of the U.S. matches will be televised on FSC and ESPN Desportes.
