Some clips from the USYNT U-15’s 4–3 loss to England. The boys were up 3–1 at one point. It was a fairly even match overall, with perhaps a slight edge to England. This was the highest level many of these players have faced, and it revealed who was most prepared for the intensity based on the competition they regularly play. Many of the players who compete “up” an age group performed well, while some who do not regularly face top-level competition struggled at times. Starters who impressed: Diego Ros (MOTM), Zamir Loyo Reynaga, Benji Flowers, and Santi Suarez. Subs who impressed: Daniel Brown, Wilson Mazariegos, Nick Harris, and Christopher Gonzalez. Tommy DiMaria also had a very nice play to set up a near equalizer. Overall, a decent showing. The pitch was in rough condition as well—players were slipping all over the place.
