This guy He is a '94 on loan to Dorados from Tijuana. He played at the 2011 U17 WC He played in the Liga MX Sub 20 cup last year and scored a golazo His goal at 1:51
Lol. You know I like my lists... I'm a visual learner, I've got to see it all out so that I can analyze where people stand and where our strengths and weaknesses are.
So who is actually calling these players up.............................?? Is Martin Vasquez running this camp? They should just ask Eleven Bravo to be in charge of the player callups.
USAprospects @USAprospects 2h '94 #usynt Alfred Koroma called up for U21 but he's busy in Brazil right now.
USAprospects @USAprospects 2h Upcoming US U21 camp will consist only of American and Mexican based players with Coach Vasquez.
Will Euro team recognize this as a team because they wont be playing in an official tournaments as u-21. While they would as u-23. Wouldn't it be better to call it the u-23 team.
Players don't have to be released unless it's on FIFA dates, some players from MLS won't be released for this camp either. We actually haven't heard officially what the USSF will call this team, whether it be U-21 or just remain U-23.
Semi surprised he got called up.. Very glad he did. Got to admit US soccer has really stepped out there scouting in Latin America in particular Mexico. We'll see what kind of potential he has
Some of them don't require scouting. You and I know about Dennis Flores after all............................ Last we heard we had one full time scout in Mexico, and Martin Vasquez was also attending games down there to scout players. It'll be interesting to see if they uncover any prospects we DON'T know about.
Honestly, between this board and the Football Manager database, I'd be surprised if more than like, 3 unknown players showed up.
I'm just saying since last cycle Tab said he didn't even know Alonso Hernandez existed till a few months before the u20 WC. Wonder if Villarreal will get a call..see how he's doing at Cruz Azul hidalgo
I'm the same way, but folks like @Balerion and I make hypothetical threads like what would the 2011 U20 team look like now.
So at the risk of getting this thread back on, ya know , topic, how does last week's demotion of Marty Vasquez impact the U23/21's? Does his demotion let him keep this job and, if not, what are the rumors for a replacement? Further, when are we expected to hear about a roster? And, if the coach is not Vasquez, will this camp still be heavily Mexico-centric?
Just from speculation, it seems like he will be the u21-u23 coach. I guess it wouldn't be bad to do that since he has dealt with the full team and can maybe allow for a smooth transition between youth and full NT. However, I am not a fan of him as a tactician, and that is kind of a big part of being a coach. I heard from I think Brian Sciaretta's twitter that the roster and coach is set to be announced soon, maybe a couple days from now?
