@RSharmzz Very raw with a lot of upside… But I’m worried about his defensive abilities. Doesn’t go in hard, lacks defensive awareness, and doesn’t defend with intensity. We will give him time to adapt, but defending for us with passion and intensity is innegociable.
@ChuckMe92Soccer The fact that they moved it down to the U15 level is where the problem lies… Young players are completely different when they turn 16/17…
@ChuckMe92Soccer Then again, we have to be honest, the hype in this country is at its worst. It’s early when assessing this but those players that declined invites, most of them are not being honest with themselves and their projection. The % that makes it to the 1st team is very low.
@ChuckMe92Soccer Agreed!! It’s just always been about USA, Mexico, and Canada… Other countries want to join in on the movement and we can’t blame them… The system has been holding them back from evolving and that’s something that will help everyone compete at a higher level.
@ChuckMe92Soccer Creating their own pathway is an important step in the evolution of Concacaf. Everyone can’t play for the US at the end of the day. This will help the level improve overall, the YNT level isn’t the big picture. How many of these USYNT players will make it to the first-team…?!
@ConcacafEdgar Stop wasting your time, you don’t need to prove anything to us. Rafa was one of the best Mexican players ever and look what he did in Spain. Stop trying to compete with us and do your own thing. Based on history, you guys are ahead so don’t lose your dignity over these last 3yrs
@RdScouting I agree, they usually show goals, assists, and good moments only. So change it up like I did, add moments off the ball, aggressive pressing, defensive contributions, and intense moments. Very few people nowadays watch full games regardless, this can change that approach.
@ProspectsUsmnt@amcalabrese12 Agreed! Gaga is 1 in a million, I doubt we’ll see a young GK get 12 CS anytime soon… But as a club, I think they rather get 7/8 CS and 35 GC instead of 12 and 42. Bringing in someone with experience and then adding Brady later on won’t be a bad idea for the organization.
