hodgkiss Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 nice! i hope we can view some streams on this tournament. i haven't heard about any of these players yet. although i'm assuming that luca ucello is julians little brother. and i have never seen him play either. in any case, it's certainly nice to be a part of this tournament. will give them some perspective on where they need to be going forward. let's hope for a great showing - good luck guys!

jpg75 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Wow, these players would have been born in 1997 (and possibly some in '98)...kids keep getting younger. Anyways, good luck to this group, hope they learn alot from the experience. BTW, anyone else find it disconcerting that Woodbridge has more kids on this team than TFC?

Holy crap, you just depressed me. 97 and 98? For U-15? I never even THOUGHT of that! GAWD! (starts building coffin for self) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Bob Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I've seen Saporito and Libke play U-16 games with the Whitecaps. They're like yin and yang: Saporito is a shifty little skill guy who plays in midfield and certainly has the talent for U-16 but gets beat up a bit physically; Libke is about 900 feet tall. Really slight for his height but pure aerial central defender. I also saw Lopez play once but didn't really take away any impressions. Can't help with the others.

villus Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 This should be a great experience for these players, getting out and seeing where they add up skill wise at this age should be a great experience for them and the coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpg75 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Welcome to international soccer! Dang, down 2-0 by the 11th minute is a rude awakening... Anyone know who this Michael Findlay guy is who's coaching this team? edit: Answered my own question: http://www.bcsoccerpremierleague.net/organizations/1013/announcements/106058-BC-Soccer-Announces-New-Look-Provincial-Teams-Program-for-2012 So what kind of job has he done as a coach in his career? What players has he helped developed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ag futbol Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 The mexican U15 team figures to be one of the best. They recently played a tournament in europe and these were the results: http://www.goldentalenttournament.com/en/live/ranking Unsure if the players remained the same though...

Soccerpro Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Apparently Findlay was an assistant with Gazzola with the u20 team that was terrible in Concacaf qualifying last year. That would be a possible explanation for him not knowing what he's doing (if that is the case, not saying it is). On a side note, Mexico has really ramped up their youth development in the last decade. Every u15, 17 and u20 team they have seems to seriously contend for a world championship these days.

Yes, Mexico is pumping serious cash into development. To me they are way, way ahead of the rest of the pack in CONCACAF. They are big players in world youth soccer and I think they'll finally get over the hump and into the quarter finals in Brazil 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckMazz Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 No , just the teams in their group. Third Division All Stars today and Chile tomorrow. Top 2 teams in each group advance to the semis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
