    I read somewhere that there are 3,500 enrollees of the Academia Tahuichi Aguilera in Bolivia. Their "Mundialito Paz y Libertad" under-15 championship begins about January 12. Anyone have any idea if the USA is sending a team? Separately, are there any USA players at Tahuichi?

    From another board

    "Del 12 al 19 de enero se estara jugando en Bolivia la proxima edicion del Mundialito 'Tahuichi' Paz y Unidad. Se cuenta con la participacion de 16 equipos, incluyendo:

    Seleccion Nacional de Mexico
    Seleccion Nacional de Costa Rica
    Seleccion Nacional de Venezuela
    Seleccion Nacional de Paraguay
    River Plate de Argentina
    Nacional de Ecuador
    F.C. Guatemala
    America de Mexico
    Los Tecos de Mexico
    Santiago Wanderes de Chile
    Saint Benedict de USA
    Penarol de Uruguay
    Florida de Bolivia
    Tahuichi de Bolivia

    El ultimo equipo puede que sea la seleccion de Peru o un equipo de Alemania.

    VidaVision en alianza con la Red Boliviana estara transmitiendo los partidos otra ves."

    It looks like Saint Benedict's (NJ) will be the only US team involved. The US U-16 team participated a few years ago.

    what i saw from highlights from this game, the US team was pretty bad.

    what kind of team is this? a local club team or a select team..any of these players have future in pro soccer?

    for the most part, tahuichi is the feeder for most of bolivia's junior teams

    I think it's a High School team from New Jersey.

    Did that whacky arrangement Tahuichi had with MLS go away when Logan got canned? IIRC, young MLS players were supposed to go there to train, while MLS got first dibs on certain Tahuichi players. Anybody know what happened to this?
