Generation Adidas U16 Championship

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[program_tooltip program_id='283725' first='Real' last='Salt Lake'] took it home in what was a highly anticipated final against these two teams who funny enough actually played each other no less then 2 weeks ago before heading to GA Cup. [program_tooltip program_id='283671' first='LA' last='Galaxy'] won 5-0. Soccer is a weird game this one was a little different. Tired legs but everyone desperate to win here were the top players from the Final on Easter Sunday:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='147503' first='Rylan' last='Hashimoto']- This kid has had his stock risen by a lot this week. He scored two goals in this game one was good and the other was spectacular. Smashing a ball with his amazing left foot from 30 yards that Alison Becker could not have saved. Hashimoto won player of the tournament. Well deserved for Hashimoto. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='167787' first='Van' last='Parker']- He was incredible in the Semi-Final yesterday and even better in the final today. If Hashimoto was player of the tournament I think Parker was the player of the Championship Game. He scored two awesome goals and had a fantastic assist to Hashimoto. Continuing his great from the Semi's where he scored another goal and topped it off with a back flip celebration. Other than scoring he is an absolute problem for defenders truly a nightmare to play against, loves a physical battle even with guys way bigger than him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='288474' first='Jonah' last='Giorgis'], [program_tooltip program_id='283725' first='Real' last='Salt Lake'] - Captain fantastic leading his team to victory from the back. Doesn't pass the eye test for a center back not the tallest but who cares when the guy can make play, after play. He was reading the game so well today anticipating Galaxy's every offensive move. He was directing traffic like a pro and his team listened to him some guys just have that it factor, the one everyone respects and he seems to be that guy.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Juan Martinez, [program_tooltip program_id='283671' first='LA' last='Galaxy'] - Galaxy's best player today. The razzle-dazzle with the ball this kid can do is big time. Even in a 4-0 loss he got the crowd into it with some nasty dribbles, tricks and flicks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pete Loveridge, [program_tooltip program_id='283725' first='Real' last='Salt Lake'] - He was flawless in goal today. Made every save he was supposed to make. Very good with his feet and distribution. Only conceded 1 goal the entire tournament.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
