Spirit MD is just as new. Let's watch what happens to them vs us. And I already say upfront: hats off to them because they are fielding better squads.

Why did you join or stay with Spirit this year if wins matter so much to you? Did you not see their record from last year? LOL.

Spirit Dad believes his team would win more games if his DD got to play instead of riding the bench. And yet we are the apologists. LMAO!

Interesting information given some of the numbers that were being thrown out here earlier in the thread...

FCV U15s = 18
FCV U16/17 = 22

Arlington U15 = 17
No U16/17 team

Wash Spirit VA U15s = 22
Wash Spirit VA U16/17 = 16

Wash Spirit MD U15s = 18
Wash Spirit MD U16/17 = 17

The U15s have 24. There are 2 players not on there that I know are not only on the FT roster, they are starters.

I should clarify: the WS VA U15s. So I don't know if there are missing players from the other rosters as well.

Maybe they’re not starters anymore . . .

They are. Saturday will prove that out. If I'm wrong though - which if we were in person, I'd bet money I'm not - I'll come on Sunday and give my mea culpa.

Mea culpa?

LOL. They've been in business for one year and are up against teams that have been together for years.

You clearly don't understand soccer and are simply a WS troll. Probably had a daughter who didn't make the cut and now you are bitter.

Get a life.

slides, is that you?

Good grief! This thread has gone off the rails.

How did everyone think the first games went?

Arlington played Penn Fusion with mixed results (2 losses and 1 win). The games were exciting and the competition was tough. Overall, I thought the girls did well for their first game as a team.

Where is the loudmouth who was saying Arlington would get crushed in DA. They did very well against Penn Fusion.

Spirit VA lost games versus Cedar Stars. For the games I know about, the margins very different across the age groups.
U14 1-0
U15 1-0 (Could have been different if the defender and midfielder playing with the U17s were rostered in their age group)
U17 4-0

A few good strikers will put the younger age groups on the map for Spirit.

I'll go a step further. At U-15, Spirit didn't start their best striker, best midfielder, best defender, or best goalie. Make of that what you will, but I'd propose that winning games may not be their top priority.

I’m a Spirit parent and a club supporter but couldn’t another explanation be that the new coach still doesn’t know his players?

Forget about WS VA and WS MD. It will take years to develop a team that will compete at a serious level. Focus on FCV and Arlington.

Spirit VA U16/17 lost 4-0 to Arlington’s 03 “Pre-Academy” (Red) team. Now let me know why they didn’t get fill DA?

Pump
The brakes, Arlington still lost two of three games.
