Yelling and using some "homophobic" language. Some people will have more issues with this than others. with a typical bend along ideological lines.

Sounds like, from the information on twitter, that it was more than just some yelling. Sounds like he was verbally abusive to young kids. We’ll see where this goes.

This will amount to nothing.

You are probably right. Having seen him in action though, I would have doubts if he were at all involved at the DA level.

Actually, pick it up today. Article is there in the Post. Sounds like he’s being accused of being a hard ass and playing favorites. This is not that unusual across many clubs. Unfortunately, this particular kid could not handle it. Either way, not great press for the Spirit nor for FCV, especially in today’s uber-sensitive and uber-competitive environment. And no, he was not involved much with DA at all at FCV. He was TD of all things non-DA there. But, still hurts their brand a bit.

Washington Post article. Many of the comments support the coach.

Since this thread seems to focus on the 05 girls, they lost first game to Tophat 3-2. Close loss to a strong team that has not lost this year. Good showing. They play again today.

FCV lost across the board in all 4 age groups to Tophat. Today, they will likley win across the board. Again, decent showing.

No, most clubs don’t celebrate their losses on Facebook. Anyhow, not sure who you support, but FCV DA is the best girls “elite” club in Virginia. McLean ECNL is close, but that’s about it. Maybe BRYC in some age groups, but they seemed to have slipped a notch. Wash Spirit is on the rise, but there’s only so much talent to go around the over dilluted environment in NoVa. Too many DA and ECNL teams in the area means losses to more consolidated clubs from other metro areas.

FCV 06 tied Tophat so not all teams lost

Well, they can have ice cream but no sprinkles.

Looks like FCV played Arlington last week and 04/05 tied and 06 lost to Arlington . Surprised by those results, maybe I should check Arlington out. Any commentary on the games?

Yes - go check out Arlington. You wouldn't want to put your kid on a team that has lost a game.

The issue with FCV is not losing games. It’s the terrible club dog eat dog atmosphere. They are like the Cobra Kai of local youth soccer. Winning is the only thing that matters and kids and parents fight over everything. Sweep the leg Johnny!

Yes, good analogy. The culture there is rotting, slowly, but with increasing pace. Wax on, wax off.

Parents were quiet. It was a bizarre game. It seemed like everyone just gave up after 2nd half - maybe because it was the first warm game of the season?
