What’s your point? |
My guess is, the point is this is what a good soccer team looks like. |
PDA isn’t good because Barcelona is a better team? |
Watch the PDA/Barca game and tell us all which team you would rather have your kid play on. Then watch that Arlington game and try and tell us that it resembled soccer in any way shape or form. |
I still don’t understand what Barcelona and PDA have to do with Arlington and South Carolina? Is your point the Barcelona is better than PDA? If so, good point. What about the European teams in that tournaments they got beat by American teams? |
I don’t know what the posters point was. I am speculating, but it seems the point is to look at how a similar aged team is capable of playing. There were no sustained passing sequences in the Arlington game, there was little technical control and zero tactical sophistication. My guess is, win or not nobody should be proud of that style and execution of soccer. It was dreadful and as an example of what good soccer at that age can look the person provided an example. Can your giant brain figure that out now? |
My giant brain still can’t figure out why Barcelona and PDA have to do with Arlington. Is previous poster saying that every team should play like Barcelona? |
I think it is reasonable to expect a U14 ECNL team to keep the ball on the ground and be able to execute sever multiple pass sequences. Do you disagree with that or does your giant brain believe what Arlington was playing had any resemblance to soccer? |

“Resembles soccer”. Typical DCUM arrogance that reveals ignorance. Anything that takes place on the pitch that is within the laws of the game is soccer and therefore resembles it. |
+100%. The passing was just awful. But if you cannot pass, your teammates better have a great touch. strike two. If you don’t have either, at least be creative enough to find space. Strike three. Maybe it was an off day but it simply looked like a mediocre U11s boys team from a passing, touch, and spatial perspective. Good grief. |
I guess I’d rather be arrogant and right than ignorant and wrong. |
| So how does BRYC’s ECNL style of play compare? Do they play possession yet lose to boot-it teams? If so, why aren’t you sending your kid there? |

Wow that first goal is 18 consecutive passes under some pretty good pressure. 15 passes in their 1/2 of the the field and four passes cross midfield to break the defense. You just can not turn the ball over against them. |
