Los Angeles Galaxy player Nathan Sturgis shared his thoughts on the U23 team, Beckham, etc, with the Japanese press. I'm a little sad that UCLA's Kyle Nakazawa didn't make the U23 squad, because I'm sure the media there would have loved the story of his Japanese heritage.
Sturgis performed well in the match - which is something he's made a habit of during the tours abroad that he's taken. Of course, he's played well for the Galaxy, too.
Here's a quick mention of the match from another Japanese source, where the U.S. defense is praised. There's also a minute-by-minute report.
I wouldn't be surprised if Sturgis draws attention from Europe after the U20 World Cup in Canada.

Didn't he impress the most on the GenAd trip to England? He's been busy. December in England. Then U20 camp then games in Panama. Then U23 camp and now in Japan. Then preseason. The season, the U20 World Cup, continuing the season. Maybe even showing good enough form to be called in for a senior team game. He'll be going about 11-12 months full of soccer, soccer, soccer. Sturgis really has a bright future. Now, how will he fit in to the team this year? LB (unlikely, Jazic has it down but maybe during Gold Cup)? CB? DM? Hey, maybe you can try to get Yallop's thoughts on this. ;)
