Villarreal Virginia Academy: imploding?

[Anonymous]

imo, this just be an insanely dirty move by Gerrmane’s as effort to get Spanish guys to leave VIVA by scaring them away

I don't think anyone stays with AGBC. that isn't the question. The question is how successful will Villareal VIVA be going forward. Will they have access to fields? I can't see them practicing at Annandale high school anymore. Will this confusion cause most players considering them to go to other Travel programs (not AGBC) and thus causing them to be less competitive.

So ABGC is awful, but the people at VIVA will do what they’ve always done, which previously was work at ABGC. This situation sounds like a dumpster fire. Run people. The yellow jerseys and “Spanish coaches” are not worth it.

I wouldn't be so quick to leave AGBC for VVIA. I have insider knowledge and ACBG is accusing Bo and Carlos of conducting wire fraud and VIVA is involved. It's going to get ugly.

Bo and Carlos vs. Steve, Tevor, and the Germaines--lose/lose.

I heard one of the Boys coaches was fired for embezzling. Not sure who it is though, in relation to which club.

That sort of thing (embezzlement) is probably rampant in a lot of clubs.

PP. This is likely an offshoot of the wire fraud accusations. Bo and Carlos were siphoning funds from ABGC to a separate account. ABCG is only now realizing to the extent Bo mismanaged money and abused club funds over the years....

Do you think anyone in their right mind stays with a club like ABGC given what they just did and their “track record”? So, yes, the people at VIVA just carry on doing what they’ve always done ... run a successful travel club that treats people with respect.

Well, I have always wondered why the Germain wife coaches for McLean's travel team. Guess she's too embarrassed to be associated with ABGC. Can't blame her.

Is there anyone here that currently plays for Villareal and is sticking with Villareal (obviously nobody will go to AGBC) that can shed some actual light on this? Is this just a speed bump / nothing to see? Or is this causing major issues with Villareal program (kids and coaching leaving Villareal)

I've got the same question. My child has a Viva offer. What's happening with current teams this week? Are they still practicing at normal times and places? Are kids showing up or are they all trying out elsewhere?

Hi parents,

With Viva Villareal tryouts, everyone "has been guaranteed their spot with the Villarreal Virginia Academy". This means person with no soccer experience can join this "world class" academy, as long as he/she pay the contracting fee. Anyone wonders why Bo and Carlos are driving Mercedes? You are funding their lavish lifestyle. They have been caught siphoning the club fund and banned from the club. They are the real fraud. Bo and Carlos, I am talking to you. Soon you will be behind the bar!

Kip, everyone knows he has enough dirt on you to put you behind bars as well. Stop acting so tough and go back to running your bingo hall.

If you want to throw away your money with Viva and Bo and Carlos, go right ahead. Ever wonder how Bo was able to go from living in a friends basement for years to a nice condo in One Loudon in the past couple years? Drive his Mercedes? He takes your kids' club and tourney fees from the club account and uses it to supplant his income. ABGC was 60K in red in its travel soccer account prior to the merger with VIVA, and it was all due to Bo. He's a total snake charmer.

If it were my kid- I'd run for the hills (i.e. another club) as quick as I can.

It sounds like VIVA has seperated themselves from Bo and company no?
