Why do you think the gap will close quickly? Im not convinced that BLC wasn't better than this Capital team. |
Don't feed trolls........ |
This was the very first day the team played together. Don't you think you should hold off on judging them until they get a bit more experience playing together as a team? |
I'm not judging them based on the results from this weekend. BLC was a fantastic team. Its not an insult to say the BLC might have been better (relative to age group). Capital going to be a top-10 2027 team, no doubt. Hero's just loaded and got better. |
The Capital 27 team is BLC with a bunch of upgrades. Many are upgrades to BLC players. Of course the team is better than the original BLC team. |
Not all BLC starters went to Capital though. I guess time will tell but some very good BLC players now on MD teams. How many of those Pride Red girls are on Capital? |

For reference, the 2025 Blue team lost to Hero's Green 18-1 in their first official game as a team at the 2021 Chesapeake Invitational then tied them summer 2022 at LFTC.
2027 team has plenty of time to gel and already seem like they are ahead of the game. |
How are they “ahead of the game”? |
Hero’s has been playing together for years - this was Capital’s first outing. If you’re talking about the capital blue game - it was tied for most of the first half. Hero’s scored three quick goals at the beginning of the second half and Cap couldn’t get back. My money is on Cap Blue 2027 to be as good if not better than the 2025s. |
New poster - are you trying to be dense? They are ahead of the game because they are a higher quality team than the 2025 team at this age. Every 9th grade Capital team struggles. They just started playing together, have rotations that make no sense and are playing against teams that have been together outside of a few additions for many years. Give it a year and then judge. Then give it another year and compare college commitments. |
^^^ 100% |
I wouldn’t be surprised if this ends up totally accurate. Of course Cap blue ‘25 had several roster issues to fix which it did the following year. Cap blue ‘27 not likely to have same issues. Once these girls figure each other out and gel they will be great. The individual talent is clearly there. Just need time. |
| Cap Orange played too, right? How did they fare? |
Similar to Blue, they looked really good considering it was their first time playing together. Could be the best Cap Orange team in recent history.... |
