There are Loudoun soccer rec parents here?

Loudoun- where you can’t tell the ref from the travel because they all play kickball.

^REC

Yes. Loudoun REC, not travel. AKA, “the competition.”

You can only tell Loudoun travel from rec by the jerseys. Style of play is exactly the same. Jungle ball.

Jungle ball? Sounds like a racist comment.

It’s not. Loudoun is about as white as it gets. You can call it kickball if you are afraid just about everything can be perceived as racist. Maybe that is a ‘safer’ term, or maybe not.

Is it true that Barca's technical director is gone and they brought in someone else to replace him? How's the new guy?

He left to become the TD at the new Nashville FCB location that just opened. The new TD at NoVA was formerly TD back-to-back at FCB in Dubai, Cairo, UAE.

Is he an upgrade or just like-for-like replacement?

Haven't had much interaction yet but seems like for like replacement. Both come from the same FCB training program the methodology is ingrained. I haven't noticed much difference in team training or how the club is run this year.

Loudoun has a lots of whites, but team indian is catching up. They aren't athletic, but they can sure do some mean calculations on you.

Guess this settles the question on racism at Barca VA and explains the “jungle ball” comment better.

Wow - 1 comment on anonymous message board and Barca is now racist. Hopefully you aren’t this dumb in real life.

Yes, we are all dumb, un-athletic “jungle ball” players. Buzz off since all you have to offer is trashing those who aren’t like you.

The PP did not say anything racist. The term "jungle ball" is an urban term that refers to a basketball game with me first attitude and rarely passing the ball. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Jungle%20Ball

In soccer context, it refers to teams, which rely on athleticism and winning 50/50 long balls rather than on passing combinations. It is not a racist term.
