Sensing some strong bias here.

The PP was actually being kind. It was 3-0 and NVA had a bad injury. Could have been 4-0 but for a questionable offsides call. NVA took there foot off the gas which they need to learn not to do.

I agree Union does not have enough speed and athletes to compete. The speed of play is way too slow. You can clearly see our girls are fighting for their positions (DB not kidding around with this). Union is too comfortable as everyone gets to play. Burying slow players in key postions - the attack and the midfield. The players in attack do not have the speed to take anyone on (looking to pass even in a situation where there is one v one). Same case as the midfield can't stop anyone as they are too slow. They really do not have anyone in the midfield that can defend at this fast pace. They do not have any real defensive midfielders. Leaving it up to the back three. Who are trying but its too much pressure on them. They have two attack players (one just came back from injury) that are good and another defender that is good and fast but not enough to compete at this level. With the talent they have, the 3 back formation will be a disaster. Only works when you have a very strong attack and midfield which they are lacking. They need to switch to a 4 back to make it through the season.

This is spot on analysis, I would surprised if this was actually a parent

This is spot on! If you saw their games this weekend, you would see that everyone gets the same amount of playing time. The coach does not play to win. It will be hard for them to keep that up when it comes to the tough teams. They will lose for sure.

Maybe they were all getting playtime because the game werent' as competitive and they were already had a few goals.

Maybe the merger is good for them after all.

Some of these score lines show huge disparity in the mid atlantic. Some of these NC teams appear really weak.

NCFC has B teams for NC Courage. Like PDA White.

Agree.

7 strong clubs (4*NOVA, Richmond, CSA, NC Courage)
5 weak clubs, in order of strength (Wilmington, NC Fusion, Charlotte Ind, Beach, NCFC)

Most club v club match ups were sweeps or almost sweeps.

Or maybe they just have a really good bench this year too.

Terrible to have to spend multiple weekends away for mediocre competition at ages U13/14 for girls. NC fusion, Charlotte Ind., Wilmington, and NCFC.

It's a good bonding experience to get away and roll teams.

Perhaps consolidation in the future for NC teams as well.

I could see them doing that in Charlotte. NC Fusion and Wilmington are both on their own.

I assumed the original post from this a.m. was tongue in cheek and intended for NVA Dad, given that FVU won by 8 x2 this weekend….but one never knows on this board.

FVU don’t change a thing. Your big wins over those teams last weekend mean you’re tops. Keep playing the way you’re playing don’t change anything.

Best wishes,
NVA Dad

But one of your top players a US YNT ID level talent left for another local club, so what area are you referring to?

Was this a former Union player? Because AFAIK, both of the 2010 Brave YNT ID players moved to Union.

Or are you talking about the 2009 Brave player who had been playing up with the 2008s and went to 2009 VDA? If so, she’s not ID level talent, she was actually chosen to play for the YNT last summer. But she obviously doesn’t affect the 2010s.

[Anonymous]

Is the 2010 VDA vs FVU supposed to be a good match up?
