re: My nephew was just named to the 2007 US National ODP team!!!!!

I was very curious to see him play before making any comments. I know the current state of affairs with La ODP is less than ideal so it is hard to say what "good" looks like with ODP since most of the TDP kids skip it. That said, you can see raw talent in him. He made a few moves past TDP level defenders but couldn't get off a good shot on goal. At times, Jesuit sports 3 TDP kids on the backline alone so I knew he was facing a stiff challenge. I won't make any comments on whether he's overseas level, but it is a shame he doesn't play TDP and get to show himself against the MLS academies in TX, CO, and MO. But maybe he will get a look from MLS academies by being on the ODP national team. I wish him luck.
