NS: Japan beats USA 41-20 in international U-20 football tourney

Go look at the alumni -- Jonathan Taylor, Tyrann Mathieu, Chase Young, Mac Jones, Jordan Poyer have all played on this team. And multiples pointed out that it helped their recruiting. In almost every other sport national team selections are a big honor.

Looks to me like they suited up maybe 34 players for this ... not much depth and a WHOLE lot went wrong in that game.

One of the kids on the team now is the ambidextrous QB that made the rounds on TikTok back in 2022. So looks like kids that are on the cusp in the recruiting world and need to make a name for themselves --- and are typically in HS.
