Hopped on a flight Saturday afternoon and headed east for the third stop (after previous qualifiers in San Diego and Brooklyn) on Puma’s Road To Tottenham 2010, this one being in Charlotte where the top two finalists in the U-15 boys group would head to the USA Cup in Blaine, Minnesota next July for the final six.

The winner of that tournament will earn an all expenses paid trip (18 players / 2 coaches) to White Hart Lane for a week of training, academy games and Tottenham’s Premiership home opener next August.

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp made a triumphant return to Fratton Park but Jermain Defoe was sent off for a stamp in the Premier League victory against Portsmouth.
