I think the backlash from passing over skill for needs is what changed the drafting

But brackett does have good American college connections though doesn’t he ?

It comes down to a team effort I think. It wasn't Benning or Bracket that found EP it was Inge Hammarstrom and Gradin. Brackett is now director of scouting . He has freed up Benning to do GM tasks.

They have assembled a good team of scouts now

2-0 Japan over Belngium 55th min. Unreal.

Belgium are the Carolina Hurricanes of the football world. Always people's dark horse. Never deliver the results.

Southgate is a genius for avoiding this Japan side.

Hopefully Jim can use this extra time to work on his interviews. He's "real good" at telling us how certain players are "real good."

Game on

Jim reminds me of a really ugly wife. She might give really good head but you sure as hell don't want to be seen with her in public

Benning just needs to squire more picks ....I can see some trades if more than one kid makes their lineup

One leagues best players play against watered down talent and teens

The other leagues play against men ...easier to judge maybe ?

2-2. Damn this is good.

Japan would've battered England the way they've played today.

Our CHL scouts just can't judge talent on who sticks out.
2016 draft was 6 picks
5 were from the CHL
4 went unsigned

I am hoping Belgium goes through...mad props to Japan though!

No worries. Can watch the highlights later. I almost missed the PK's in the afternoon game yesterday because I was behind. I was at the 60th minute when I made the mistake of social media and saw it was going to PK's. Stopped watching my recording and went live to see the first guy walking up to take a kicks.

It would have been the same if this goes to ET and PK's

Anyone in here going to see any of the camp or practices?

I wanted to go on Thursday but they sold out. Tickets were dirt cheap too

Oh my!

Why commit so many forward at that corner?

Wow

This has been the best half of soccer I’ve ever watched 😳😳
