    @Rastapopoulos
    As a Leeds fan, do you support Wales?
    Darlow, Rodon, James. Outside Leeds you’ve also got players like Brennan Johnson for
    Wales.

    James has a goal in this European World Cup Qualifying match which is currently Wales 1 - 1 Kazakhstan after Wales give a penalty.

    England ended 2-0 yesterday as M.L Skelly and Kane got in for England against Albania

    ...and actual Leeds captain, Ethan Ampadu (currently injured). We've gone from too many Americans to too many Welsh, although I'm certainly happy with all but Darlow (who never plays).

    Forgot this thread was around. My 17 y/o led his Desert Vista High School to the Arizona Open Soccer Championship. This was the first year of the open, where they take the top 8 teams from 6A, 5A, 4A and then the next 8 highest ranked schools from the teams left. In the final they battled to a 1-1 draw. They conceded with 16 minutes left in the game and then immediately scored on the restart to tie it. After the 80 minutes they went scoreless in two 10 minute overtime’s. In the PK Shootout, DV was shooting second in each of the five rounds. The opponent made all five of theirs, so every DV kick was to tie it up. The opponent missed their 6th. In all actuality the DV keeper ate it up as all six takes by the opponent when to the keepers right. On the final kick for the win the DV player easily slotted it home for the 6-5 win. My son was voted Defensive player of the year for the State of Arizona. He is now back with his ECNL and UPDL teams. The UPSL team owns part of an Ireland League One Club and are taking my son to train and trial in June after he graduates high school. Would post pics/vids if I knew how. Really quite a magical season after returning from playing over in Germany for six months.

    Impressive even if just exhibition.

    Hoping these results hold Rasta. I’m on this rollercoaster with you. If this holds Leeds couldn’t ask for a better match week. This is like the Kings losing out if you wanted us to make the playoffs. Sheffield UTD losing, Burnley at a Draw, and Leeds winning. Back to the top of the table if this holds. Probably going to come down to the end but this is a crucial week. I’m down to see Leeds in the EPL, get Southampton out.
