ok i understand why you did it. But in my opinion (dont matter much) it was lame. I love seeing how our U-21 team compares to our NT. I was under the assumption that it was NT starters Vs. U-21 Starters not just a U-21 try out game.

So why not do all NT candidates then? Or better yet make a Pool of players and have the U-21 Coach and NT coach Draft players like in the school yard? Idk im just throwing ideas out there. I was just not super pumped about a U-21 tryout game.

Coco addressed the logistical issue, but in my mind we have already seen most of the NT candidates actually play for the NT so we have an idea of what they can do. Now if we had a scrimmage of our fringe players that are on the verge of making the NT then I think that would be cool. However, as Coco stated it's not possible. I liked the change up personally because the outcome was not a forgone conclusion, although it will be tough to take anything too meaningful from a game played with no enthusiasm, thus the lack of defense basically turned it into an all-star style scrimmage.

There is no standard as far as what all countries. Its become a "tradition" that the NT and U21 have a scrimmage, but it's not required. The USA NT has a clearer idea of what we have, and expecting a bunch of 21 and under players playing against the top players in the country, as coco and others said is an automatic blowout. This was just a fun change up from what we have been doing.

Also, with Magiker as the new U21 coach, this was a great way for him to see a bunch of the U21 players/candidates and test out inside vs outside so he can have a better idea of what he has to work with.
