The U.S. Boys’ U-17 national team, coached by John Ellinger, went undefeated in four matches to win the 1998 K.C. Mechelen Tournament in Mechelen, Belgium last week. Twelve of the sixteen U.S. goals in the tournament were scored by three strikers (Jordan Cila scored six, Landon Donovan four and Bobby Convey two) and the U.S. defense, led by Nelson Akwari, conceded only one goal in 240 minutes. U.S. goalkeeper DJ Countess recorded three shutouts in three games. The U-17’s will travel to Vienna, Austria for the Toto Cup. The team will open up the round-robin tournament with Germany (Aug.27), France (Aug.28) and finish with the host nation Austria (Aug.30).
