Deyna Castellanos is a “ phenom ” who is putting women soccer on the map in Venezuela. In March,  2016, she scored the game winning goal --  in front of 41 000 screaming spectators -- against U17 Brazil leading U17 Venezuala   to a first place finish in the 2016 South American U17 women’s  championship. This tournament  ( which was hosted by Venezuela )  serves as CONNEBOL’s qualifiers to the 2016 FIFA U17 Women's World Cup ( Jordan )..  Deyna Castellanos  was also the tournament’s golden boot winner with 12 goals :

Two years ago, Deyna Castellanos  was the co-winner of the golden boot (along with team mate Gabriela Garcia) of  the 2014 FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup ( Costa Rica ).  U17 Venezuala  finished fourth in the tournament which included eliminating U17 CANWNT in the quarters finals:

In 2015, Deyna Castellanos  got free English lessons from the University of Manitoba  with  the hope of recruiting her to the Bisons. No luck there,  Deyna Castellanos  will be going to Florida State (Seminoles) NCAA div 1 , in August 2016:

The rematch  between  U17 CANWNT  and U17 Venezuela  ( October  7, 2016 ) should prove interesting.

CFA International Women Youth Football Tournament 2016 Weifang :

[ 1 ]  A  tough loss for Priestman's side in the opener. It appears that CANWNT U17  were sitting on a clean sheet with  a one goal lead going into the 85' when Japan U17 scored three quick goals to win the match.

[ 2 ]  In the other game, China U17 destroyed New Zealand U17,  6 - 0.  A Canadian, Gabrielle ( Gabe ) Jillings, is on the New Zealand roster. From White Rock, BC,  Jillings is a midfielder  with Surrey United SC (98/99) who attended ( in 2015 ) the BC Soccer  High Performance  Program and subsequently trained with the Whitecaps FC Girls Elite REX program. She's been part of the NZ program since December 2015.

Re. Raimondo.

When one adds today's result to her Canada Soccer stats;  she's has seven goals in ten appearances. These are good numbers and she's a promising player for Canada.

China  U17   1 -  0  CANWNT  U17

[  1 ]  CANWNT U17  were playing  a  4 -1-4-1  which at times became five in the middle -- defending and  disrupting . China U17  had a lot more of the ball and more attacking intent,  but were not  truly dangerous in possession. China  U17’s  game winning goal came in the last minutes of the first half when CANWNT U17  were  pressing in the attacking third and then turned  the ball over at the top of the 18 yard box.  China U17 , on the break,  were able to race down the pitch in numbers and  set up their attacking shape in 18 yard box before CANWNT U17  could get their defence set. Consequently,  a  cross from the left ,by  China U17, found a open player ,backpost , for a goal by a header .

[  2  ]  The downside of  CANWNT U17’s   defensive posture was that  they didn’t generate a lot offensively. At the 26’,   CANWNT U17 created a turnover in the midfield and Stratigakis came out with the ball and took a strike  which hit the post;  the rebound then fell  to Laroche who  shot  it over the net.  At the 74’ direct play from Canada’s back line into the midfield  was  flicked on to become a partial breakaway on the left side by Raimondo.  The Chinese defender did not give up on the play and closed down enough space to only give  Raimondo a tight angle shot which the keeper easily saved.

[ 3  ] In the recent  past, CANWNT U17 have been  porous defensively. Clearly, Priestman  has tightened things up  a little and that should serve them well in the upcoming U17 WWC in Jordan. Their first match is against U17  Venezuela – a  very  attack-minded side.

[ 4 ] Thought that the centerback  for CANWNT U17 played well .(  American, Hannah Taylor? )

[ 1 ]  So Kennedy Faulknor picked up a concussion the 2016 CONCACAF  Women's U17  Championship; the third match of group stage, a  2-1 loss to U17  Haiti ( March 2016 ).  She apparently  was cleared to start training  on June 15, 2016 and is hoping to be fit enough, in time,  to participate in the FIFA U17 WWC - Jordan 2016.

http://sharenews.com/soccer-star-cleared-to-begin-training-after-concussion/

[ 2 ] An interesting point in the article is that Faulknor  has committed to UCLA for 2017.( other Canadians going to UCLA in the near future: Jessie Fleming, Shana Flynn.)

We play Cameroon on the 30th but first they will play a friendly vs Brazil on the 25th in Jordan. http://fecafoot-officiel.com/?p=6573

The German squad:

http://www.dfb.de/en/news/detail/squad-for-u17-world-cup-in-jordan-154058/

The Vinotinto squad (obviously with phenom Deyna Castellanos this time unlike the friendlies vs the US):
http://www.federacionvenezolanadefutbol.org/ve/index.php/2013-03-30-17-38-04/femenino/2893-la-vinotinto-sub-17-emprende-vuelo-hacia-jordania

They also arrive in Jordan early for friendlies vs ("la selección anfitriona" the hosts then? Jordan?) and Japan.

[ 1 ]  Germany won the 2016 UEFA European Women's U17 Championship last May and their team productivity was quite balanced. Multi-point efforts from : 3 forwards (Buhl, Stolze, and Ziegler) , 3  midfielders ( Muller, Minge, and Gwinn ) and 1 defender ( Pawollek ). An interesting point here is that forward Ziegler and defender Pawollek  are also listed as midfielders.  Five of the German U17 players are currently playing minutes with  their senior teams in Frauen Bundesliga 1 ( a league comparable to the NWSL ): Anna Lena Rieke with Jena, Tanja Pawollek with Frankfurt and Klara Buhl, Janina Minge and Giulia Gwinn , all three with SC Freiburg.  Gwinn is probably Germany's best player; she plays 90 minutes a game with SC Freiburg and she led Germany with assists ( five ) in the 2016 UEFA European Women's U17 Championship

[ 2 ] There are no  U17 CANWNT  players playing in the NWSL. That said, Stratigakis, Raimondo and Kats did play well for Aurora United in League One Ontario this past summer ( got playing time and were productive ).

[ 1 ] Looks like only 19 players out of a 21 player squad. Missing from the photo : maybe Deanne Rose,  maybe Kennedy Faulknor ( who got injured in March ) , maybe  a third goal keeper ?

[ 2 ] An educated guess at the roster in the photo:

Goal Keepers: Proulx, Zucchetto

Defenders: Regan, Taylor, L'Esperance, Chang, Cathro

Midfielders: Ibrahim, Grosso, Hansen, Stratigakis, Shaw,  Guay, Kats

Forwards: LaRoche, Huitema, Raimondo, Dayes, Riviere

So Faulkner is not in the squad. March to late September is a long time to be out with a concussion.

@squizz1402635577 that's likely the reason why she's not in the squad.

That's a frightening result.  U17 Brazil  are not weak side. They just recently destroyed the host Jordan in a friendly ( 7 - 0 ) a few days ago.  They played two friendlies with USWNT U17  in August -- both draws.

And as  reminder,  U17 USWNT  destroyed U17 CANWNT  in CONCACAF qualifiers. in March.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ku6Koe1-JAo

Finally U17 Brazil only lost to U17 Venezuala ( Canada's Group B third match opponent )   by a single goal ( a Castellanos game winner )  to finish second in CONMEBOL.in March.

According to the Brazillian website game report,  U17 Brazil coach Luiszao  had this to say about U17 Cameroon:   "They are very strong and very fast and ended up being hard for us to chase"

Looks like U17 CANWNT are in for three tough games.

Then again, Venezuela only beat Jordan by 1 goal in their friendly; it's difficult to predict anything in this tournament, although it seems we may have the group of death.
