When I was on my U12 club team in Southern California, we played a U12 Barcelona academy team. An actual one like this. Not one of those teams that just calls themselves a club team name as a LARP. We were a pretty good club. Won far more than we lost.

They beat us 12-1.

These kids in Barcelona's academy are 11/12 years old 😭

You may have played A Barcelona U12 academy team, but you didn’t play THE Barcelona U12 academy team. They have several U12 teams, and if a US academy side faced their elite U12 team (like the one in this clip), you wouldn’t get off so lightly as losing 12-1.

It's not that crazy

This team included some cocky winger called Lamine or something and this defender with big teeth named Pau

You mean in a tournament where they played 3 grp games in 1 day, played Hoboken last, and were most likely conserving energy for the finals the following day, against teams such as Villarreal, Atl. Madrid and R. Madrid? Sure, could've been such a scenario.

This was Hoboken, btw.

Don't forget going easy on the hosts

Sure.

You genuinely believe games played over 12-minute halves in a tournament like that, with 3 games in a single day, are comparable to a normal match with 30-minute halves? And that Barça's elite U12 team wouldn't absolutely beat the ever-living shit out of that US team? 😂
