Hey Everyone, here is the recent list of players called to the U17 Men's Natl. Team camp in Florida/Guatemala from Feb. 6 - 17, 2009. The group will be playing exhibition games vs. South Florida Univ. and the United States U17 MNT while in Tampa, Florida. And they then travel to Guatemala for two games vs. their U17 Natl. team before returning on the 17th. There have been some changes to the roster since the first camp in Mexico late last year.

Funny that I had to compile all this and there hasn't been anything formally issued on the CSA site annoucing this trip. They do announce the women’s camp in California and the U20's off to Florida. But nothing about the roster or the planned training for these guys.

So 4 teams automatically qualify for the U-17 WC in Nigeria. So two from each group. I don't mean to imply we look past Cuba, but in all likelyhood the April 21st game against Honduras is the game that will probably decide our fate. If we beat Honduras since we will probably also beat Cuba that should qualify us.

I've been checking out the qualifying for the U-17 WC and good god was Asia's qualifying all screwy. 8 different nations were disqualified and 5 nations withdrew before games were played. Then there is the fact that Singapore qualified out of Group E which was played in China while Group G qualifying games were played in Singapore. Also, due to the fact 3 teams in Group G withdrew beforehand and North Korea was disqualified after qualification for using overage players that there were only two eligible teams in Group G, and Group G was designated after the original draw to have two teams Qualify for the Asian U-16 tournament (which is the AFC's U-17 qualification tournament). So despite losing both games they did actually play and not scoring a goal, Malaysia got to go to the AFC U-16 Championship. India qualifying ahead of Saudi Arabia was a bit of a surprise too.

Any chance Hargreaves and Fernandes have brothers who will play for us? There seems to be a pattern here.

Dani told me his little brother was given a trial at Oporto I believe, no more word on that though, it was maybe 2 years ago, he was u-17 or younger I think. No idea what position he played, will enquire.

Well, it's official now, Hoillet will participate in this camp:

Good schedule as well, one NCAA opponent and 3 international friendlies vs USA and Guatemala (2).

Kule Kambere must be parent with Diaz.

The accompanying photo of Hugo Lapointe-Senecal is a stark reminder of how young these players are.

I hope that Kule Kambere doesn't play for the Surrey United team I was watching on Sunday play a Metro game against North Shore. They were shocking and could barely make 2 passes under N.S.'s pressure. Not sure if it was a Metro A or B game, appeared to be A.

To be honest, it does give me great pleasure though to see a couple players from the local top youth league on the team!

From the CSA site, the U17s tied the U of South Florida 1-1 on Monday. Playing the USA U17s as I type.

That's a good result against the Big East Champions and who went to the Elite 8 in the NCAA tournament.

USA U-17 are coming back from South America where they went 3-0-1 with wins over Chile, Peru and Ecuador and a tie against Ecuador. This should be a tough test.
