Another beautiful sunny morning in Kissimmee. It was another hot one. The U17s lost their game, but the score doesn’t tell the true picture. Chances were created, but not taken. The scoreline should have been much closer. Now we have a couple of slight injuries, but we trod on. Tomorrow, they will play a scrimmage game at 6.00pm. That’s what we came here for, football and more football. A lot of experience gained.

Kristian’s (you all remember Kristian) team Renegades lost their semi-final clash. Again, he said the experience gained was tremendous and that he would love to do this again. Pitting his skills against some of the best players that he has competed against.

Akia and Samantha’s guest team Iconz were victorious in their semi-final clash against Orlando City OCYS, so they advance to the final tomorrow. Amaya’s guest team Steel United challenge Inter-United Soccer Club for the Silver Final trophy tomorrow at 9.00am.

So, tomorrow the U17s will play their final game on this, their first tour in the evening. They will get some much needed rest in the morning. It has been tough on them, seeing that this is the first time any of them has ever participated in a tournament of this magnitude.
