As I mentioned in my Practice Observations report from today, there was a surprise scrimmage (a surprise to me anyway) between a Tigres U20/reserve side and an FC Dallas side made up of their younger homegrown signings and some U19s. When I arrived at FC Dallas training, Tigres was just getting off their bus.
Tigres seems to do a swing through Texas almost every summer. They face Fort Worth Vaqueros on Wednesday as part of this trip. Academy coach Chris Hayden called the Tigres side a reserve team or "B" team saying it's mostly 98s and 99s, meaning guys a year or two older than the FCD U19s who are 99, 00, and 01.
