Does anyone know anything about the U16 San Juan Lightning Blue from Northern California? or the Colorado Fusion Mundial U16s? My son's team is playing them in an upcoming tournament, and wanted to see if anyone has faced either team, or knows anything about them.
Thanks in advance. |

Although I didn't get a response, I'll provide some feedback on both U16 (91) teams. Although San Juan Lightning defeated Colorado Fusion Mundial, I thought the Colorado team was better. Very composed in the back, hard-working and fast midfield. Colorado State Cup champs. They were somewhat weak at forward. San Juan was weaker in the back and would make mistakes when pressured, pretty good midfield, good forwards, but they could be neutralized with man-to-man marking, although they worked hard to shake their marks, eventually it frustrated their forwards.
Chicago Fire Red beat San Juan 2-1, beat Colorado Fusion Mundial 1-0 and Bangu Tsunami 4-0 to advance to the playoffs. Bangu was also beaten by Colorado and San Juan 4-0, and just didn't have the talent to compete. |
