Santiago Castaneda (21) has such an eye-catching profile at the #6 position. 🇺🇸👀
Off the ball, he’s a proper ball-winner, anticipates passing lanes, sweeps up second balls, and dominates aerial duels with his height. Relentless work rate in rest-defense.
Far from a passive #6. He pushes right up to the edge of the 18-yard box to sustain pressure, recycle possession, and attack the box from deep.
High-IQ footballer.
We all know the #RSL youth pipeline has produced plenty of talent over the years, but who’s up next?
For my first ever deep dive report: Antonio ‘Chile’ Riquelme.
Full scouting report: ⬇️

In 2025, David’s stats looked like this:
- Games played: 20, starting all 20
- Goals scored: 10
- Assists made: 4
I’m curious to see how he performs in the 2026 season and if he can become an even better version of himself.
Possesses the size and build to play with his back to goal, successfully shielding the opposition. Performs successful cuts, stepovers, and feints with a defender on his back to turn and beat the opposition with pace and dribbling.

Help needed!
I wan't to build a database with all the players I have watched/scouted, does anyone have tips where to start?
Christopher Jaime is dominating USL1 and it’s time for the next step. 📈⚽️
My latest scouting dossier on the Charlotte Independence midfielder breaks down why he's ready for an MLS first-team look (or a smart move abroad).

As a scout, I’ve learned one thing:
Talent gets your attention.
Identity keeps it.
Here’s what I look for when trying to understand whether a young player can become special. 👇

MLS has developed more young foreign players than American players. That’s where the problem starts.
Our youth teams are almost as good as any others & as soon as they turn pro they sit on MLS second teams or MLS first teams bench for years.
Those same MLS clubs will spend millions of $$$ on young South Americans that have played 50+ first division professional games by the time they are 20 instead of playing young Americans.
