Great Event, But Not Enough Age Checks

Excellent organization, great soccer fields. Very, very competitive.

For international teams, they get a 10 for the way the teams are required to prove the age of their players. The passport is presented several times for different people. This system is 100% age proof.

The dark side is that for the US teams this is not requested. A soccer team credential is enough, which is easily altered. I am sure that some players we played against were older. Facial, leg hair and bodies truly developed for their age, if you know what I mean.

I believe that an official (government issued document) ID should be required for the USA teams. This will give the event more credibility.

Other than that, a very recommended event.
