I imagine the games were 80 minutes long, as is frequently the case for these youth tournaments. If that is the case, Gallardo would have been subbed off at half time.

 

their technically polished game should not be surprising considering that one of the coaches in the youth teams of the United States until recently worked in Barcelona's academy La Masia. ????????

 

In one group are now at the "Islands" U.S. and Selection of Sarajevo and East Sarajevo played a draw 1:1. The goals for this meeting achieved Nicholas Popovac (Sarajevo and East Sarajevo) in 38 'and Alejandro Zedejas (USA) in the 70'.

The U.S. U17 Men’s National Team played to a 1-1 draw with the Sarajevo Select team on Friday in the second game of the Josip Katalinski Tournament. FC Dallas’ Alejandro Zendejas scored the equalizer in the 70th minute after Sarajevo’s squad scored shortly before half for the opener.

Haji wright looking like he could have a very bright future

 

Twitter saying U17's beat Bosina 4-1

 

How many tournaments have these guys won now?

 

For the sake of the USMNT, I hope we keep producing these kind of players.

 

Is it child abuse to make them wear those jerseys too?

Who wears the #6? He won the player of the tournament. Surprised that someone other than Haji won player of the tournament. Seems like he scored four or five goals in the tournament.

 

Isn't that Eric Calvillo the DM? Interesting our DM won player of tournament when we scored all those goals.

 

I think it is De La Torre, but I'm not sure. I was thinking that it might be Pulisic, but he usually wears the #10 shirt. Maybe that wasn't the player of the tournament trophy that the player was holding. It definitely looked like an individual award trophy that #6 was holding.

 

,a

Its definately Calvillo but he may be holding the tournament trophy as captain and not MVP like you said. Its the same trophy the whole team is holding up in the other photo, so you could be right. Don't know why the other post says he's MVP without a link. Left to Right are: Calvillo, Silva, Olusunde, Lara, Velela, Arellano, Wright, De latorre, Gallardo, Pulisic, DaSilva just like they are listed on the roster listing for the last game minus subs:Kevin Silva, Matthew Olosunde, Edwin Lara, Alexis Vela, Hugo Arellano, Eric Calvillo, Haji Wright, Luca De La Torre (68.Thomas McCabe), Joe Gallardo (68 Tyler Adams), Christian Pulusic, Pierre Da Silva ( 52 Alejandro Zendejas)

 

I think you are right. I said MVP because I assumed that was an MVP trophy. Its probably the trophy for winning the tournament though.

 

Apparently, Arellano won Best Defender of the tournament. Also, some discrepancy on the goal scorers for the final game as Haji and Calvillo both tweeted that Haji scored 2 and Pulisic scored two. Not important but maybe there was confusion over one of the goals? I believe they expect Croatia to be a tougher test. I would like to see this team play some games in S America against some of their youth national teams. That would be interesting. I'm aware they played Brazil in the Nike Friendlies and Uruguay and another S American team (Colombia?) in Mexico. But the Mexico tournament was a while ago. Anyway, hope this team continues to develop.
