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.

That doesn’t make you right—you only are right in your own head. No, you’re just arrogant with a tinge of entitlement.

“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.

I guess I’d rather be arrogant and right than ignorant and wrong.

Entitlement is expecting ECNL level players to connect passes?

I mean you did use “pitch” earlier so you are probably right.

Sorry mom but that game looked bad.

Connect passes or play like Barcelona?

Why are you thinking that only Barcelona girls can connect passes? Here's an example of an American U14 ECNL team from 8 years ago that connected passes and played nice possession style. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uxEJa2foNg

I’m sure this was a good team. But this video is cherry picked highlights. A 30 second clip of connecting passes against a possible poor opponent or brief moment in a game doesn’t show everything. How did the possession hold up under pressure against a fast team? Do you have video of an entire game?

It is true that the video is highlights, because I could not find a video of entire game. It is possible that it exists somewhere on youtube, but I do not have time to search for it more than 5 minutes. This team has over 200 highlights from that season alone, which is a pretty good indication of their style of play. Btw, the team was losing by big scores at younger ages because their coach insisted on playing out of the back, which is risky at younger ages. As they got older and improved, they continued to play the same way.

Regardless of whether or not the highlights are cherry picked, their selection demonstrates what the club values.

+1. I wish my team soccer parents could watch it and find how wrong their sideline comments are ( kick it out to defenders instead of controlling the ball and find the next pass, send it, send it long and skip the whole field, typical comments you listen from the sidelines in recreational games). Value added if our coach could compare how many times the back line made smart choices vs our teams unintelligent choices kicking the ball from the back.

^^ I hate the “great ball” when a kid kicks it long to the other team. It’s a turn over. That and the head down dribble into the teeth of the defense because you can only go forward. Take the easy pass to the player 15’ away and move into the space vacated by the defender who came charging at you,

It is amazing when parents cheer that, as if it is akin to getting good wood on the ball in baseball.

I found “0” the keeper never played the ball to the CB/OBs. The OBs hardly played the ball to the Back MD. OBs released the ball several times with NO target in mind just expecting someone if the upper field could catch it. Yes the other team could catch it many times and turn it back to their favor. This is a pattern that could be fixed, if you are avoiding Losing - at least play well.

Someone please explain why Metro United 08 girls chose to play in the SAC Columbus day tourney over WAGs? The competition is not very good.

You mean the team that cannot connect three passes? Congratulations. All of you must suck.
