Hope victory weekend was worth the $5k per year for years. The result is meaningless at the end of the day.

Lol. What a loser mentality.

Lol. Doesn’t matter. You’re the actual loser.

LOL. Ok - whatever it takes to get yourself out of bed in the morning. If you find comfort in seeing these girls fading as you say, then most would agree that you are the loser.

I actually think all would agree that a parent of a club like FCV, who has been around for years and has better on average talent than other area DA options, coming onto the thread of a brand new/relatively new (counting WSVA) and far weaker club to taunt the opposing side after his daughter’s team got a win is by far the biggest loser.

But how many goals were scored by former Washington Spirit players who now play for FCV? A lot!

$5K ??? Try $12K (with travel and "showcases")

+1

Agreed and it isn’t even close. It’s also one of the reasons FCV will have trouble with maintaining any dominance with younger teams going forward. Toxic TD and toxic parents/sideline.

If you’ve ever heard FCV parents trashing other players on their team trying to recruit outside parents/players, it’s comical.

No - don't agree at all. Wishing for kids to fail or 'fade into the background' is far, far worse than internet message trolling to other parents. Step back from the keyboard, turn around, and get a life.

I think the poster maybe was saying all this soccer stuff that so many parents act hateful toward youth, sometimes kids, won't even be important. These players may go on to do big things as individuals, but almost none will do anything beyond play in soccer in college(and some who are committed will never even play. They will ride the bench).

Almost none will go pro. They may not even play on the WNT. Playing on the YNT doesn't necessarily translate into the WNT. And some players picked earlier on for the younger teams don't make the older teams.

Metro will not sustain DA status with their current records. Hate on fcv or whoever you want, people are paying to compete against the best and metro United is not competitive.

But they had their chest puffed out in those preseason scrimmages they tried so hard to win.

That shows you are out of the loop. MU has improved, MU has picked up ECNL players, MU is running possession game, MU has formed partnerships with local clubs. It hasn't achieved its full potential, but it has traction. Beating FCV is not the milestone it needed.

Exactly right. FCV fanboy who is stirring this crap up will have a daughter who will wash out in soccer. Enjoy the 5-0 wins against MU while you can. Hope it was worth it

4 that scored? I can only find 2. That said, I guess that is a compliment to MU if FCV won in part from players from the former Spirit pool. I don't really care to be honest. My DD has grown as a player and loves her team. She wouldn't think of Lea King. Players that are joining us this year are thrilled. Players from last year are also thrilled. The parents are happy with the changes and progress. That's good enough for me.

Really that’s all that matters is personal development at the end of the day-no matter which team!

3 former WSVA players scored 4 goals. Many other WSVA players played key roles in FCV victories. If you look at the U18/19 FCV roster for example you will find 4 former WSVA players. There are many strong players still on Metro United teams in addition to the former WSVA players who have moved on to FCV and other clubs.
