The U15 BNT will play the LA Galaxy U16s this Wed. night. Michael Munoz @MikeEMunoz 10h Watched 15s and 14s USYNTs train this morning. Excited to play them Wed night with our @LAGalaxyAcademy 16s and 14s. Good test for our boys.

Guess that's for the weekend.
That's the second team. I thought maybe you went to the games and could have given us your opinion. Hopefully topdrawer has a write up tomorrow so we can at least see the line-ups. HT: U.S. U15 BNT 0-0 LA Galaxy U16. Both teams have had chances but neither to get past the keepers. It's been a very physical game.— TopDrawerSoccer (@TopDrawerSoccer) March 27, 2014

Top drawer got the write up about the u15 US BNT vs the Galaxy right. The US bossed possession and chances for almost the whole game. The midfield starters got subbed out near the end and the Galaxy took control of the midfield and were able to apply effective pressure. That resulted in 3 quick goals. Plus the Galaxy had a deep bench and subbed a lot of the team at half time. By the end the US players that played the whole game were worn out relative to the Galaxy. Overall a good showing by the US boys against players up to 2 years older (some called up to the US u18 camp coming up soon).
The top drawer write up about the u14 BNT vs u15 BNT tried to put a positive spin on a game in which the u14s were dominated from start to finish.

Very good players on both teams. I don't think it was a talent difference. The u15s were stronger and faster overall and that may have a lot to do with it. The u15s also looked much more organized on defense and their midfield and offensive movement was better overall. Many have played together before in this system before and they looked like it with a significant possession advantage. There were some new players though. I think coaching may have somewhat to do with it as I think Hugo Perez will outmatch Tony LePore any day, however, Hugo has had his players for much longer.
