For anyone interested, U20s take on the Ticos in CA today at 6 pm. Game I think can be streamed on ussoccer.com. I'm pretty interested to see Mukwelle Akale and hopefully Young. Klinnsman kid also on the roster.

As an aside, is there a training facility in Elfland, NC??? I've seen some of the youth teams traveling there for training. They don't list it as Hillborough or CH or Durham, just Elfland.

I think Eurosport has a complex in Efland, also home to one of the world's finest viola da gamba makers.

ETA -- could be wrong; is it even called Eurosport anymore? Damn I'm old.
 
I knew exactly what you were talking about. Used to love their warehouse sales that came once a year. Well worth the drive the Hillsborough.

Efland. Not Elfland.

+1

we were always there

Their warehouse and offices are definitely in Hillsborough, but I think they run (or sponsor) a soccer field complex in Efland, so that's probably where these cats are training.

Yeah, Eurosport/Sports Endeavors/Great Atlantic Lacrosse are still based in Hillsborough. Got a relative that's worked there most of my life, so every gift I've ever received has been from those catalogues.

Seems about right. Looking forward to Manneh getting naturalized and becoming a speed demon second half sub.

Jermaine but no Clint seems strange though
