Obinna Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 That's a tough road. Haiti can be tricky, while Costa Rica are always challenging. Also, interesting that Suriname and Curacao never made the knockouts, while teams like DR and PR did, Bermuda too. I guess their come up at the senior level hasn't filtered down to the youth level yet. I imagine they don't get as much out of the Dutch at the U17, but I still expected better than this.

Dominican Republic finished 2nd in u20 Concacaf qualifying last year. Something we can only ever dream of at the u20 level.

He's a 2007 so the same age as Mackenzie and Fung. Strange. Edited February 17, 2023 by El Hombre aredding77, Xavier. and YorkRegionFan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the Hert Berlin trial is more important for his long term career then a u tournament. 🤷🏻♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YorkRegionFan Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 To those who have watch Hugo Mbongue and Joses Chukwu, are they comparable players or does one have greater potential than the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have watched both but am terrible at evaluating talent. What I do know is that no matter how they turn out it will be either directly due to (if negative) or despite of (if positive) TFC's youth program. Book it!
