The lackluster results of late are the new norm not a bump in the road. The team knows who is leaving and staying and the disjointed soccer will continue. ML refusal to add quality players means that some of his top players are too comfortable in their roles, not being pushed day in and day out. The ecnl caliber players who may be smaller, or more technical but only playing half the game are the ones on the out. And then there are the ones in his pocket or Unions. IDK, buts its obvious to everyone involved and not involved at this point. Will the Brave girls and FVU infrastructure help? Of course but with all due respect there is 1maybe 2 players there better than anyone on the current Union roster. The additions don't outweigh the subractions and the leeches remain, sucking playing time from better players cause ML can't not answer the phone |
Is he answering his phone too much or not enough? A lot of bias in this post it seems. |
I bet you have an answer to that quesion shoot |
Wow! |
What age group? I assume 10s? That Brave group moving over is very talented, includes 2 players invited to USWNT ID camps, many will clearly start day one, and all of them will challenge for starting positions. You can say what you want about coaching, coming together as a team, etc. but from a sheer talent perspective, FVU 10s will be as loaded as anyone in the area in the fall. If they don’t win, it’s not because VDA, Arlington or Loudoun has better players. |
Union 10 is a good team. Not a great team. Why do you continue to discredit other local teams? Union isn’t even the outright best 2010 team in NOVA or DMV. Bethesda and VDA are both better teams but don’t necessarily have the players that have grown early. |
There are some great players coming from BRAVE but talent isn't what gets you playing time. That is what is being discussed here. |
This is a clown comment? Wtf sounds like someone is salty Lackluster results at U14 |
How is a club posting their team won state cup "highlighting" wtf lmao?? |
Bethesda and VDA 10s are both better than the Union 10s? Do tell us how you came to this conclusion. |
better? |
BSC is certainly better just look at H2H and SOS, data doesn't lie. VDA I think the PP is saying moving forward they will be better, right now pretty even. |
Can't be salty when offers are not the issue but fit and coaching. To each their own, but FVU is a sinking ship good luck with that anchor called Brave |
One thing people fail to discuss here is how much money these Union parents are pouring into their kids outside of the team. Does the Brave group do this as well? If they don’t they better start because this stuff is about to get very complex. Bethesda, NVA, and arguably Brave after their last win vs Union are better teams. The biggest winner in the last 3 months is VDA. Their rosters are STACKED, especially BPs 10’group. |
Complex how? Your statements are confusing. Understand, that private training does not mean anything if there is none natural talent. |
