Advancing to the International Bracket of the 2016 Generation adidas Cup is impressive, but to tally a +14-goal differential and a 5-1 record against the LA Galaxy, Seattle Sounders FC and Colorado Rapids is a head turner.
For the U-16 Earthquakes Academy, they did just that, charging through the Western Regional bracket against some of the best talent in the country at the StubHub Center. In a total of six games, the Quakes compiled a near-perfect record, boasting 17 goals for and three goals against.
“The Generation adidas Cup is the premier event for our U16 boys each year because it allows us to play against all the MLS teams in the West Region,” said Quakes Academy head coach Paul Holocher.
