| Pipeline has pretty decent teams. Not sure what all this scorn is about. |
| What age group are we talking about? U15-U18/19 Arlington teams will need to do better than both Baltimore Armour DA (Pipeline) and Metro United to advance in Cup play. (Only one team advances out of bottom two brackets (bottom 6 teams)). |
Did you miss the thread that Pipeline is dominating at the national level? I think that people are reacting to boasting and pretentiousness. |
Because they are. |
Boastful and pretentious? |
| Why are scores of pre season matches even being posted |
Because Pipeline's 06 boys are the #1 travel team in the country (https://home.gotsoccer.com/rankings/team.aspx?TeamID=689738), people are interested how they would do against the stiff competition of Development Academy. Pre season matches are the closest we can get before they enter the season and beat up on their normal competition. |
So they got their butts kicked. Now you know. |
Baltimore Armour is not Pipeline. Pipeline does not have da teams. Pipeline, Celtics, and SAC all send kids to Baltimore Armour, which practices on the SAC fields. |
Pipeline players dominate the Baltimore Armour DA teams. On the girls side, Pipeline coaches lead the BA DA. |
Baltimore Armour practices in Howard County? Last year their games were north of Baltimore. |
Arlington DA actually beat Pipeline? Very interesting. |
Ellicott City is where Baltimore Armour is based and practices. |
Yes that’s true, but Pipeline does not have da teams. The Armour teams are run jointly with SAC, and many of the players did not come through Pipeline’s teams. Pipeline’s preacademy teams often have friendlies against da teams. |
