Gotcha. No, AYSO stands for “American Youth Soccer Organization” and therefore the AYSO National Games are a youth tournament. While many AYSO players have gone on to professional careers, and even the US National team (AYSO alumni include players such as Alex Morgan and Julie Ertz for the women, Landon Donovan for the men, as a few examples), AYSO is focused on youth soccer. The World Cup is for adults playing for their respective National teams…
No worries. The whole point of online discussion communities like this is to learn new things, meet people you’d never come across otherwise. It’s all good. Hope y’all have a great weekend!
I meant is that a part of the tournament to get to the World Cup or is it a completely separate event?

Got it. Clearly I am not a soccer expert.
