If you are a fan of all the U.S. WNTs, there's little time to recover after the roller-coaster that was the 2012 Olympics Game as the U.S. Under-20 Women's National Team has arrived in Japan to prepare for the 2012 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.

The USA is based in Hiroshima where it will play its first two Group D games, against Ghana on Aug. 20 and China PR on Aug. 23. Both games will be played at the Hiroshima Big Arch Stadium and shown live on ESPNU.

The young Americans will then travel to Miyagi prefecture for a much-anticipated clash with Germany at Miyagi Stadium.

Here is the first round TV Schedule for the U.S. U-20s. This just might be a DVR tournament for most folks back in the States.

Aug. 20 vs. Ghana (Kickoff at 3 p.m., coverage begins at 2:50 a.m. on ESPNU)
Aug. 23 vs. China PR (Kickoff at 6 a.m. ET, coverage begins at 5:50 a.m. ET on ESPNU)
Aug. 27 vs. Germany (Kickoff at 3 p.m. ET, coverage begins at 2:50 a.m. ET)

If you don't know the players YET, you can read about them here.
