Bethesda has a lot of USYNT players and Camp invites, double what Penn Fusion has and the 08s won the National Championship.

Can someone explain this to me? I mean I have never seen either play so but on paper results like this make me wonder…

$$$ and influence. IRS called “politics”, my friend. USNTs have always been about politics.

I think their goalie may still be out with an injury, for one thing.

Only 1 from Georgia, which is surprising. With US Soccer relocation to GA, there was a lot of kids from GA sent to the regional camps.

I'd expect more from GA in the future.

But yes, 7 from CA? Wow, talk about an influence. Aside from great year round playing conditions, what else are they doing that no one else is?

Isn’t this obvious? A bribe. All of FIFA (and I would include US side) are open to cash money….particularly the amount Cali can offer). This side of sport needs its Varsity Blues.)

Lot of great athletes with some good individual skills, but not nearly enough soccer IQ/understanding of how to play.

I'd love to cry and yell foul as well but I've followed ECNL girls for the last 2 years because that's when my daughter started U13. Just look at the teams who are playing for the national championships. CA is definitely doing something the rest of the country isn't. I'm not saying just 1 team from CA. When you look at the top 8 of an age group, they have 3 of the final 4 or 5 of the final 8 for an age group. They're doing something out there which DMV isn't. Don't tell me CA parents have more money than DMV. I don't buy that argument. How does one buy a national championship?

Sounds like coaching then? NM is the answer clearly

Weather. CA never has to miss a day. Ever. Our RL team here missed about half the practices this year due to weather or field space issues.

CA has more people and soccer is more popular there. It attracts the best players, best coaches, which makes the teams better, which attracts more players and coaches. It also attracts money, to build nice facilities, host tournaments and the weather doesn’t hurt. It’s hard to comprehend sometimes just how much population and money is concentrated in southern california. It’s not like other areas.

PF Coach is Scout for USYNT. Probably does not want to look like he favors his own players? That’s my guess. Did the Bethesda 11s at least win?

Yeah. Every 2 miles there’s another sports park full of soccer fields- and they can all be used year round. It’s stunning when you see how much easier it is to be a serious soccer player there.

What's the question? Who's the worst coach in NOVA?
