The under 20's coach would have been well advised to put Jack Pelter

on up front in the game against Gambia the  boy can hold the ball and would have intimidated the defence in the latter part of the game
as the Mexico game showed he can also finish ,an opportunity
missed 1 down with 10 minutes to go Jacobs lacked the vision
that could have seen the U/20's snatch a draw !

I thought Jacobs was pretty proactive. Pelter did make a difference on some occassions but his first touch let him down quite a bit, though so did Brockies. They really missed Chris James though, alot more accurate than Brockie. Great experience for the lads and hopefully a few get scouted. Watched the final this morning, the Argie's were pretty damn sharp in the second stansa.

I'm a little disappointed in our boys taking this route, we are getting more attention than ever b4, why not use it as a stepping stone into proffessional football earlier.
 
No offence to Pelter, he could'nt get a start ahead of Boxall and he's trialling at a epl team.

Yeah but Pelter has English parentage.  If you can't get an EU passport you end up in the arse-end of Eastern Europe being stiffed by criminal elements.  At least this way you get a degree and out the end of it you have a chance of an MLS place.

Remeber that two of our highest profile players in Nelsen and Elliott have made it through this path.

get picked up in the MLS draft setup and stay injury free and you're set for a long time

You can add another to the US College system as Edgington will be going to Louisville.
