US U-17 Team

The U 17's played Russia today and looked really good. The US team dominated the game, played really fast and moved the ball extremely well. They have a 13 year old playing center mid, the kid is good, I believe his name is Rankin. I enjoyed watching these youngsters play and I'm sure we will be seeing some of these guys playing on the national team before to much longer.

I didn't see the game, but I'll try and catch the next one against Brazil.  It's Saturday at 1:30 on FSC.  I got a chance to listen to these IMG guys from Bradenton at the TASCO clinic.  They love what they do and you can tell.

What is IMG ?

It's the residency program in Bradenton Florida.  Here's the Wiki article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMG_Soccer_Academy

Check out their website.  IMG isn't limited to soccer academies.  It's pretty incredible.
