It was eye opening to see suburb talent vs pro academy talent. Its not even in the same galaxy. Bare in mind that the P1 retained about 70% of last year's team which won its EDP league. They had a hard time stringing two passes in a row and had to boot the ball out all game to get some relief from the constant pressure.

Few weeks vs 2 days is pretty even?
That's funny

Anyway, l'll assume Philly team is made up of handpicked high quality players from multiple U-little teams in PA region

Potomac is P2P ecnl

Actually that Philly team has been playing together since they were 6 or 7 years old. They practice in the regular season for 4 days per week. DCU has nothing like this and these kids are the best in the PA and NJ area.

It makes sense. It was a fine tuned machine. Still shocked at witnessing that level of soccer in the US.

This specific tournament or in general?
Yes, the U11 competition at RSC (and the u9 and u10) were pretty low level. u12 was great.
