4 from California, 4 from New York / New Jersey. East Coast = 8. Midwest=1. McKeown runs PDA who is only club to have 2 players in this roster. Coaches are either from California or East Coast. 1/2 the roster from these 2 sections. Coincidence ??
California should have more players included, at this age group they dominate soccer tournaments anywhere. If you break down numbers, lets just say rankings by got soccer, they have about 40% of the teams on top 100, top50, top25, and top10. With the amount of talent out here, they should of took at least 8 players. Luis, the numbers might not do justice to other states, but it also leaves many california kids out of it.
