I’ve coached for many years, kids from 4 years to 16 year old, and what I noticed from many US coaches is that they recruit players with size, speed and strength. But not many have field vision, creativity or technical abilities. Which has been part of the USA team in previous years, it seems that have started to change with the addition of several Latin American players to our national team, but it still a work in progress.
What were contract offers?? How much was offered?? Nothing the first year but renegotiable after that?? Would be nice to know the money offered to have a better idea of what they can look forward to as successful pro players.
Were there any scouts from MLS at event?? If not why not?? You would think they would be interested in seeing at the very least some of the best U19 talent in USA, right??
Ric, Gauranteed right?? Gauranteed to what?? They should specify. A gauranteed contract can be a one year play for free deal. And like you said renogatiable.
Totally agree Ric! MLS, with few exceptions still selects Brit-type players. Chicago Fire has been going nowhere all year and has had Benji Joya on their roster all year, yet has given him little opportunity. Yet, he's good enough for a U20 call-up. It reminds me a lot of how Gringo Torres was handled early in his career. He was a passer but was always forced to play with teammates who hated to see the ball at their feet -- kind of hard to shine when your teammates can't return a wall pass!!!
Do mexican teams make offers to non-hispanic players?
Jonathan Navarro, Originally from PAC Atlas in Northern Cali. Would dare to say is the best 98' striker in norhern cali and for sure the best player the De Anza U16 team had, suspended by USSDA for attending final event in Florida. Had been in US residence for a while, but not sure what happened. Mexican teams have been hoovering around hime for a very long time now, just like Edwin Lara.
