On The Field - By John Ellinger

Sep. 19, 2002

As an added service, each week U.S. Soccer will be producing an "On the Field" article on ussoccer.com from one of National Team coaches or players. Less than a week after returning from the FISF International Soccer Tournament in Italy where the U.S. won their group for the third straight tournament and finished second, U.S. Under-17 MNT head coach John Ellinger talks about his team’s performance in Italy, their inability to finish in the title game and the defense’s strong play throughout the tournament.
