Soccer
One McLean team has 30 players. The oldest one and that is because they had a lot of 02s that didn’t graduate. |
|
by senior year most kids have figured out where they are playing in college, so they are just parked on the U19/U18 squad until they graduate.
The late birthday kids essentially get an extra year in youth soccer. |
Not worth the battle here of parents . . but that BSC 2008 team had were several key injuries that went on for weeks in starters, Covid issues (they had games cancelled constantly including MD United), players move out of DMV on a small roster. Life & Covid situations / Life happens to 11 and 12 year old girls. |
Yes, things that only affect Bethesda. Injuries are never an excuse, they are part of the game. All sports and all teams are successful or not based on next man up. |
Thank you for this blinding glimpse of the obvious. If all players are interchangeable, true. If not, this is tripe. And every team may be differently affected. Nobody needs excuses for performance in . . . Youth soccer. These are explanations, not excuses. If you don’t know the difference, perhaps spend a little more time reading and a little less time doing advanced analytics (yeah right) on U13 soccer teams. And perhaps dial it back on watching sports. Your cliches are showing and I am pretty confident they are as tired of this as well, unless they are also a little dimwitted. |
| This thread was started in 2019 regarding 08s. We’re in 2021. |
What’s your point? They are still 08s even in 2022 as well, and 2023, 2024...... |
| boo hoo for Bethesda. we all feel sorry for them. give them an easier game schedule. |
no they all dont you are a fool |
Nah, they are excuses. Nice deflection though. I'm glad your kid is playing again though. As long as YOU believe she is the difference-maker for the team then that's all we need to know. If only scrimmages counted instead of league games your analytics would be different. |
Even so, we are still better than your McLean team you left. Will also be interesting to see what happens next weekend if it happens. Jeff Cup as well. Maybe we should re-visit then? You also might feel a little better after playing your weak home tournament as well. |
| Didn’t BSC bear McLean in a friendly last month? |
OK, in addition to the moratorium on sports cliches, can you dial it back on the juvenile attempt at posing as youthful by using "nah"? What are you, 15? |
I don’t understand why there is such hatred towards BSC. No club is perfect. We are at Potomac so don’t say I’m defending them. |
Or, you could be a grown up and not talk about 12 year old girls like they are pro players. |
