The Galaxy B92 had a most impressive run of games at the 2009 Pateadores Cup to win the championship trophy in the Boys Under 17 bracket.  The B92 were never scored upon by any of their excellent Gold and Premier-level opponents at this renown and very competitive tournament. The Galaxy squad beat Hoffman United Hurricanes 4-0 in their opening game,  then beat Pateadores Blue 1-0, and Legends FC Black 2-0 in pool play. In the semi-finals, the Galaxy B92 beat Pateadores White by the impressive score of 5-0. In the finals, the Galaxy B92 won 3-0 over the Yucaipa Athletic Cal Heat team.

The Pats Cup was held July 25, 26 & 27 with the Galaxy B92 having played their pool games at UC Irvine and the championship rounds at the Polo Fields in San Juan Capistrano. The Galaxy B92 is scheduled to play in the BU17 Gold bracket of Coast Soccer League in the upcoming fall season.

The Galaxy B92’s Mariano Guerineau has been selected to attend the 2009 Adidas ESP camp, an official select event within the Olympic Development Program. Players are invited to this program based on the recommendations of a nationwide scouting network seeking out the most promising players in the country.

Mariano is a 16 year old player who also made the 2009 Adidas “Top 100 Players List” for the USA.  Mariano has played for several years now with the Galaxy B92 team having been coached by Mark Shanley, Beto Dos Santos and now by Chendo.  Mariano will attend the Adidas camp this coming summer.  Other graduates of the Adidas ESP program are now playing on the US Men’s National Team, the MLS, on European clubs and in several Division 1 college programs. 

The Galaxy Alliance Soccer Club congratulates Mariano for this well-earned recognition and this honor and we all wish him great success.

The Galaxy Alliance Soccer Club’s director of coaching, Beto Dos Santos will also be attending the 2009 Adidas ESP camp as a coach.
