Alvarez is still up for grabs as well, having recently attended an FMF camp. Hilton is a man of mystery since moving to Europe. With his status still in flux, he's apparently playing for an amateur team in the Netherlands. We only get to see or hear about his progress when he attends a U16 ('91s) camp. I hope he can resolve his playing status soon.
I've thought this as well, but I'm not sure. He looks like any other average U-17 player for the USA, but its hard to discount him being a star player in an academy like PSG's. Its hard to figure out how good he is. Could be overrated, could be underrated.
dis.agree. bro scores for fun at PSG at multiple levels. Is played out of position for US U17s. Feel like I've heard this narrative before.....
I've only seen him play like 4 times, but for some reason, I think Sabbi is going to be the real deal.
I tend to agree his hips are loser than most of our forwards... he will have the ability to score at a higher level than the majority of our national team forward prospects.
It's said of soccer players that the hips don't lie. At least, I think that was soccer players they were talking about.
I'm not exactly sure what thread to put this in, but I'll leave it here................... Chesterfield soccer phenom is ready for the world https://t.co/FrnijAQ4Os— Dallas Cup ⚽️ (@dallascup) October 21, 2016
What did the tweet say? It says its not a valid tweet id. You posted it in two threads, and it says the same in both threads.
Its a link to a newspaper article.................. Chesterfield soccer phenom is ready for the world POSTED 11:01 PM, OCTOBER 18, 2016, BY LANE CASADONTE, UPDATED AT 10:14AM, OCTOBER 19, 2016 http://wtvr.com/2016/10/18/chesterfield-soccer-phenom-is-ready-for-the-world/

He gave a dominating performance at Dallas Cup for the US in their first game against River Plate. Up there in my mind with how Donovan and Adu played at that age at Dallas Cup. Obviously Adu crashed and burned but I had high hopes after that. BTW at that game he played at center mid. they moved him to left back after that and he's never looked even close to as good at left back. I never saw Pulisic in person at that age but he was better than any. Just electric. Oh, and to answer your question about path - Hyndman was the coach when Acosta first got there and he was surprising poor with young players since he coached that age at SMU. Once Oscar took over the path became clear.
I've not seen enough of the players any younger than '00 to make an informed judgement. I'll list the younger players who I think are looking pretty good right now at the bottom. I also want to separate keepers, I'll make a top 5 list of them at the bottom. 1. Pulisic 2. Palmer-Brown 3. Carleton 4. Wright 5. McKennie 6. Carter-Vickers 7. Glad 8. Perez 9. Pomykal 10. Gloster 11. Taitague 12. Sargent 13. Redding 14. Adams 15. Ebobisse 16. Cannon 17. Farfan 18. Fossey 19. Lennon 20. Durkin 21. Weah 22. Zelalem 23. Akale 24. Lewis 25. Carranza Goalies: 1. Garces 2. Vom Steeg 3. Scott 4. Silva 5. Marcinkowski Admittedly, I know very little about these younger players and have minimal viewings (haven't even watched some of them), but these are some of the names to keep track of. I'm not including dual-nats in Europe who might or might not play for us. The two Mexican-Americans can be counted because we produced them here. 01's: Konrad, Xuxuh, Reynolds, Gonzalez, Palomino, Booth, Rangel, Sepulveda, Llanez (if he counts), Roberts 02's: Bello, Reyna, Gaines, Las, Pynadath, Busio, Ocampo Chavez, Scally, Redzic, Alvarez (if he counts) 03's: Omidiji, Sealy, Paredes, Nyeman
