This is why US Soccer moved to the birth year standard.

As we get closer to 1000 let’s remember the great quotes from the BY cultists….

Dude, let it go. Nobody is still “us vs theming” anymore except you.

From your continued poking at MLSN parents it’s pretty clear you’ve got a bottom team kid. So why do you even participate in this thread?

It will always be us vs them. For years they walked around noses high that their kids were so great when it reality 80% of top team players had nothing to do with skill and everything to do with benefiting from a favored system.
There time has come and gone and soon they will see what it’s like to have the system turn against you.

I can’t wait for all the 2010s to show up at tryouts this time next year for the 10/11 and parents will see how good their kids actually are.

)))

FYI, at the Cerritos Memorial Cup this weekend, Slammer B2011 ECNL (#6 in Southwest) suffered two 0:3 losses to two B2010 local teams. RAE is real.

Wait but I thought RAE was just an excuse not backed by data or science….

That’s what the BY people whose kids are barely holding on would want you to think. There day of reckoning is coming and it will be glorious.

Next year’s tryout window will be glorious!

Vengeance for my older Q4 kid and my up and coming Sept birth kid will be a giant among children!

Maybe, but Memorial Day tourneys in particular are famous for guest players/players not playing because of the holiday weekend.

I get the idea that teams may not be at their best without all their players but they also could have even more players helping which is typically the case for tournaments.

All of which makes the results even less reliable.

We still have a whole year till all this comes to be….where will we be 2000??

[Anonymous]

Yeah! Now we are on to 2000 as the BY cultists try and convince everyone it’s either not happening or unfair…..

No, at this point, it's the GY people insisting this is the only logical next step.

That’s because it is the final stage of evolution for college recruiting.

If there are any rules allowing Q4s to "play down" in 25/26, we'll get to 2000 pages pretty quickly.

LOL. I honestly can't believe this thread made it to 1000 pages! Quite the achievement.

I'll throw in my $0.02 which I have done a few times in some sort over the course of 1000 pages...

My DD is currently playing ECNL U16. She absolutely benefits from the BY system - she's a early January birthday and was always tall for her age.

Interestingly, she has 3 players on her team that are post 9/1 cutoff birthdays that would drop down a team. The current U17 team has 3 also that would drop - one of those players is in my DD's HS class.

So, it all kinda comes out in the wash.

Here's to 2000!

Off topic.

I met Zidane, Verrati, and Alphonso Davies this weekend at the Monaco Grand Prix. Zidane is average height (listed at 6’1” but in reality more like 5’11”), Verrati is like 5’5”, and Davies is 5’11”. All very fit but none are bulky. All world class players (Zidane one of the GOATs).

Americans continue to think about this sport like American football. That’s why we are shit.

Rather than biobanding and worrying about age cutoffs, we need to emphasize technique and intelligence.

We did it! 1000 pages
