So is this site really just therapy for moms who are finally coming to the realization that their daughters are not nearly as good at sports as they’d hoped?

Sort of like the Hammers in the U19, who are in the same pool with WC Eagles and NJ Grit.

Hammers GK is a D1 commit so I'm pretty shocked at the scores. But, yes, WC is destroying everyone as usual. It's so tiresome to watch.

Yet the 2nd place team, Bull City lost terribly. Hammers was the little engine that could.

The difference between D1 UNC/Northwestern/Duke/UVA vs. D1 Queens/American/Longwood/App State is like the difference between a pro athlete and an 8th grade athlete. Just because that goalkeeper is a D1 commit doesn’t mean she’s even remotely on the same level as those WC Eagles girls, who are all top 10 D1 commits. Same with Pride and Bull City.

She is a big 10 commit but a goalie cannot save an entire team, especially not against WC.

She gave up more than 10 goals in one game. Top GKs, even those not from WC, don't do that.

Can we please change the narrative around goalies? She got scored on 10 times. Additionally, the TEAM let WC get at least 10 shots off. It’s a team effort. Unless you were there to witness the effort, it’s just your opinion. Which stinks.

Not sure where to interject. Hammers and Bully City who were wildly ranked from WC couldn't have pulled off a win and yet are being ranked in the same level is laughable. Perhaps WC needs to take their talent oversees.

Said like a parent whose kid is playing D3. Not only was what you said nastly, it's also wrong. Get a life.

Have fun when your kids riding D1 pine. Don't knock the D3 teams. Those kids are happy.

And these parents are very angry that their child wasn't born with God given talents like OS from YORKTOWN . To study the psychology behind these parents would be fascinating. And their deep rooted disappointment in their own flesh and blood. Isn't this the sentiment behind the texts.

I won't speak for others; but, I am a crazy, bitter mom whose daughter got passed over by DI and top DIII programs.

Your self description would apply to 80% of the people who post on this thread.
