You mean the same Mclean ECNL 04 team that has already lost to Arlington (who have also beaten the rest of the area ECNL teams, BRYC, Bethesda, MD United). So when you say destroy you mean by what goal differential? Didn't know that there is a transitive law when it comes to soccer games. So by your logic then, since FCV just tied PA Classics, and PA Classics lost to WS VA, so does that mean WS VA beats FCV? The games will be decided on the field. And no matter who comes out on top, I hope their parents are happy being the big fish in their little DA Mid-Atlantic pond. |

As opposed to being the big fish in an even smaller MA ECNL or CCL or EDP pond? LOL. |

Really? You, the guy that screaming about nepotism and politics and that says the players coming into FCV aren't very good and certainly not better than those exiting, aren't talking about the kids? If you aren't talking about the kids, who exactly are you talking about? You are a bitter person with nothing better to do that to find someone else to blame for whatever has gone wrong for you and/or your child. I presume I don't know you because this bitter of a personality would be hard to forget. And I certainly don't know your child if she played at FCV. I wish her the best and I hope, for her sake, you back off because you are going to make her experiences miserable for her. |

What an emotional response. |

FCV staff told the kids they weren't as good as the kids coming in when they cut them.
Go look in the mirror and yell at yourself. |

He never said the incoming girls are not good. He said the current players are and in the case of the BRYC CB he simply stated the truth, that FCV is currently strong at CB. Saying that kids on FCV are talented is not the same as saying the newcomers are not talented. |

You just described exactly what is missing in youth development in the USA compared to the rest of the world > Competition for playing time. A player who starts and plays every minute of every game when they're healthy SHOULD seek another team where they have to perform better to keep getting their playing time. It's the driving 40 minutes away that is accurate. A good club, with true vertical integration would simply move that player up an age group to get that competition for playing spot while keeping them in the club. A club that has an end goal in mind, say like D.C. United or the Spirit, where there is something they're trying to do as an academy that is way beyond paying youth coaches 6 figures and walking around wearing gear with their initials on the chest like the Premier League. If these youth clubs that don't have pro connections really wanted to act like pro clubs, they'd keep move players up and do everything they could to provide for the needs of their top players, unless they don't have environment where that player can go to keep being challenged. Then buh by. |

Actually he said that the new players were not as good as the ones that were cut. Why are we still talking about this? |

This is the issue too: Real clubs always have players at younger ages that "aren't good enough" to compete, BUT they see something in the player that makes them believe they have better foundations to succeed in the future. I'd love to see a club that NEVER cuts players before 15 take hold. That would show their commitment to the future, and make them focus on different things when picking the U9s, and it would absolutely expose the coaches who are only good at recruiting versus ones who can actual spot talent and teach. |

A star player wil not sit behind a star player. They will go elsewhere and be a star player.
People lose sight of the fact that it's a game meant to be played. |

What should FCV tell them? This? Hey, listen, you're better than the ones we have coming in but we want some new faces so even though you're better, we are cutting you. I don't get your post. Seems normal to keep the stronger players. |

Unless you're mom or dad why do you care? |

Because, like many others, I come on here to try to get some information and the board has been highjacked by crazy people. Frustrating. |

It is normal. I was just addressing the hypocrisy of the poster who was lecturing me from a top Mt. St. Helen. |
