debate is over with

Isnt 09 like 5th graders. Are we really doing this?

6th Grade! Anyway, the 08 Girls thread has been going for like two years now, they were actually in the 5th grade when it started and now it's up to almost 130 pages of nonsense. I wonder if the same teams in the early days of that thread are still the same teams to beat two years later.

As for that list, whoever posted that has not seen many 2009s play...Arlington and Great Falls are both better than McLean IMO. Great Falls played McLean a year ago and beat them 7-2. Alright, maybe Arlington and McLean are the same but neither is even close to Loudoun. Sorry.

Hopefully Pipeline will actually be better when it actually matters. Then we can once again watch the Loudoun parents meltdown come the following Monday. Same goes for the 2008s and 2007s.

You’re kidding. U12 is the most important age group. Prepubescent performance = future awesomeness!

Loudoun beats SYC Blue 5-0 in final of Asist Tourney.

Loudoun loses to the Michigan team in the final. Arlington loses to Severna Park in final of 3rd tier.

That's really all I care about.

Will Jeff Cup switch brackets if SYC Blue beats Loudoun on Assist?

Loudoun would asked to be switched if they didn't beat SYC by at least 10 goals.

Dear Loudon:

Be careful about bold predictions in the Jefferson cup and certainly don’t write pipeline off in a game that actually matters. We (McLean) Learned that lesson. We played them a few months ago in a scrimmage and tied 3 to 3. We shared your initial thoughts that perhaps they weren’t as good as they are. We played them about a month later and they destroyed us 5-0. It could’ve been much worse but the coach was actually telling them not to score. I later learned that in the first game the squad was heavily 2010. Our second meeting was strictly 2009 girls and they kept their starters in. From my understanding Pipeline likes to play up younger players. If you had a scrimmage day with them chances are many of their better nine‘s probably played with the 08 team. That won’t happen in a real game.

And to think that Pipeline lost in regular league play to PDA. Mclean, where do you fall within the NOVA teams?

Not sure what you mean about PDA? They are one of the best 2009 teams in the country from one of the best Clubs in the country.

McLean is one of the top 09 teams in NOVA now that they have snagged some Arlington players. Mclean is now much better than Arlington because of that. McLean only seems to play scrimmages and league play but avoid tournaments like the plague...no Jeff Cup or Arlington ASIST. Just playing up on 2008 level of its own tournament (which is just B and C tier teams...) I would suspect they lose to Coppermine by at least 3 goals if not more and also have a tough time against Liverpool.

Loudoun is legit though even if Pipeline did have some 2010s playing against them. They play possession style soccer and have speed and power up top.

Good luck!

Laughably young to be calling any team "legit".

Teams can be talented. There is no point comparing teams at such a young age though. Let them enjoy it for a few years before worrying about results

Here come the sore losers...like it or not, 6th graders do in fact like to win, even it's just for some cheap medal that they hang on the wall.

This is a 2009 Girls Travel thread and much to your dismay, their are winners and losers. Their are top teams and bottom teams. These are top tier teams with families that pay $2k a year for their DD to compete. Many parents like to see their DD team succeed.

I'm sorry your team isn't doing well. Maybe you should even take a further step down to REC league if you don't care about winning or losing. Perhaps you prefer the "Participant" label on your medal rather than "Champion" or "Finalist".

Their is nothing wrong with either mentality. All that matters is that when your kid gets in the car afterwards, you don't belittle them no whether they won or lost.

So yes, Loudoun is "legit" and are probably the top 2009 team in the DMV currently. Could that change? Certainly, maybe next year or the year after. That is why we play sports.

So yes, when I say Loudoun is "legit", it means they have a better chance to beat any 2009 team in the DMV area and Jeff Cup. Not sorry for offending you.
