[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quality of play is solid depending on the age group. U-little have a lot of insta kids with absolutely insane sideline parents. U-12 and older have considerably fewer insta-kids if any.

(Pro tip, the scouts are not watching the insta-kids, because they don’t know how to play football, they’re trained to give psycho-mom 10-30s of footage).

Girls play starts today, so that is when the insta-kids will really flood the zone. Yesterday there is one girl on a boys team from
NC that is probably the best u-little soccer player I’ve seen, boy or girl, taking it to the boys. Really impressive and had all of the scouts watching her PM match. IQ was top tier for a youth player.

Older boys were a variety of play. Lots of disorganized teams with one or two extremely capable players that are very talented but on meh teams. Some true standouts. The U15 Amigos team was a lot of fun to watch, they really love the game and were more creative than most youth teams I’ve seen. Lots of scout attention going to that entire team yesterday.

As previous poster mentioned, lots of ad hoc “trainer built” teams. And way too many white people for what Copa Talento is supposed to be providing an opportunity. This has changed a lot over the past couple of years. But CT has also evolved. This year is much better organized than last, and despite all the white people and attention whorish parents, the Latin festival atmosphere has kept CT as a unique gem of a tournament for youth.[/quote]

That girl played my son’s team yesterday and was the only reason they had a hard match. The BE girls were on right before and they lookedo good, but were beating up on some awful girls teams. I think that girl the best girl player I’ve ever seen. Maybe not fancy instagram cone drills in a match. But was slicing up my son’s very good team.[/quote]
