The standard of ANA soccer tournament has been improved drastically in last 2-3 years. This year’s tournament has proved one can’t not win the championship having by just having numbers of national level players in roster. If you look at this year’s tournaments-- DC team was lead by some outstanding players’ including former U19 goalie and sensational former national team striker Rajan Rayamajhi. SF also had a few very good players including one national level player. Yes LA team has been improved a lot but I think NYNYC was not lucky enough to score goals. The game was dominated by NYNYC. Well SF played really well but that game was also dominated by NYNYC. Actually the controversial penalty kick against NYNYC helped SF to stay on the game. NY team’s record has been really good for last four years, having won two championships in last three years and reached in ANA finals for last four years.
