In a rematch of the game that took place on Friday, Brazil U-17's once again topped the American teenagers, this time by a score of 2-1. Here is the report courtesy of US Soccer. Jack McInerney put the US ahead but strikes by Wellington and Joao Pedro led Brazil to victory. Although the results were not great over the weekend (0-2-1 including a 3-3 tie with Australia), the U-17's, who used a large pool of players, can come away from the weekend with the experience of playing against top competition. Young prospects that played over the weekend for US include Charles Renken and Stefan Jerome.
Note: The US U-17's were broken up into two teams (one red, one blue) with some players playing in both Brazil matches and others playing against Australia. The photo above comes courtesy of the YNT blog over at US Soccer.

Better, But Not Good Enough at Nike Friendlies
Brazil Youngsters Dominate US in First Match
On Friday, in the first of two games that were played between the Brazil U-17's and the USA's U-17's this weekend, Brazil thoroughly dominated and came away with a victory and a 3-0 scoreline. Coutinho had two goals for Brazil, and almost had an incredible third, courtesy of some masterful dribbling. Check out the video above. Not too much in this first game to talk about from the American side, I will be back later with the result from the match that took place yesterday.
