Some of the comments about coaches are flat out fabricated and could really damage the lives and reputations of them. |

Who's celebrating? We're bummed that they lost again. |
McLean is in 3rd and dropped 4 of the last 5. The MA is not a strong division. They'll be lucky to qualify for Champions League. 2 years ago they finished 4th, not the bottom. There was a lot of players that left that team though. 3 to Arlington, 4-5 to MU, 2 to FCV. |

What standard are you folks using? Last year VDA, Richmond, McLean and SC all qualified for nationals. None won their division but Richmond came in 2nd behind eventual champion PDA. SC came in 2nd to the Heat which finished in the finals. SC also beat FC Stars, which was finished 2nd in the NE division behind PDA. Mclean finished dead last in its division but only lost ine game and played two teams to a draw, including the Scorpions, another top team from the NE. VDA looked the worst with loses to the Hawks and D'feeters.
The MA is not the strongest divisions but the teams from that division can compete. |
All good points but have you seen pipeline? |
None of those 4 teams can stay on the field with fcv. That is your standard. |
| You must have a kid on FCV? |
You must have not seen FCV play. |
Yes, there are a few of them on this forum. You can see their work in quite a few threads. |

I've seen FCV, McLean, VDA, Loudoun, Richmond, Bethesda, MU all play.
Bethesda and McLean would give FCV a good match (especially Bethesda). Richmond plays a very nice brand of soccer, similar to FCV, but does not have the athleticism FCV has up front (which is also why they lost to McLean twice this fall). Loudoun, VDA, and MU have no chance against FCV. Anyhow, that's my take on what I've seen. |
Thanks FCV dad. We will never know though. McLean plays kickball but who cares. |
| I don't disagree with the ability of Bethesda and McLean to run with FCV. I would add Pipeline to that mix. I thought Pipeline might lose some players but they just ran through a showcase where they scored 9 points and allowed zero goals over three games against strong competition |
I agree. That's a fair assessment. |
Of course they did. Glory to pipeline! |
