I played a pick up game in Cusco Peru, not only was the language barrier difficult I wanted to fall over and die because I couldn't breath after 10 minutes.
That's a good point. They eventually got kicked out of the tourney by the local boys (the eventual champions) in a game they were winning 1-0. They lost in the last five minutes when they gave up two goals. If they had a bit more stamina/were used to the altitude, they would have kicked out the hosts in a game they played in front of 5,000 people.
nevertheless a fantastic experience for them, altitude, tournament mentality in front of 5K....dont know how much people youth games draw here but im sure 5K is a whole lot more
The boys are heading to Spain...

What if they get scouted?
It's incredibly hard to sign non-EU youths at that age. They're not going to get scouted.
NYCFC Academy tied Real Madrid Academy today
2 away goals, good setup for the second leg in New York...when it happens...
Tie on the road. Clearly we are better than RM. At every level.
Indisputably.
Interesting how the new away kits have not made it to the kids yet. I wonder, is this because they didn't manage to arrange making the kids shirts yet? Because they don't want anyone wearing them before the senior team has played a league game in them? Just because they weren't organised enough?
Final 3-0. We're pretty good, yeah?
