They probably just had the team mislabeled. I’ve seen it several times - teams from Virgina marked as from Alaska for example. Nobody travels this far for a tournament unless they are big kids and on travel teams |
No cap bruh! There was a legit team that came from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 |
It was a travel team from Puerto Rico-my dc played rec for HYS at the time and played that team. Entire family groups had traveled here from PR thinking it was an elite tournament and then found their team playing rec all star teams from Fairfax. They had big white rental vans and just camped out at the fields all day. We know Valor was desperate for teams for the tournament but that was sad even for Valor. Those poor people must have spent thousands and thousands of dollars traveling. |

^^ Fraigcomar FC from San Juan, look it up.
It was the strangest thing I have ever seen at a soccer tournament and I have had three kids play at all levels. |
| I don't get how a tournament so terrible is even profitable-it doesn't sound like anyone wants to play in it. What's the point? |
This to me is wild. PR is not a well-off territory. That's a lot of money for people to spend. |
There is hundreds of tournaments to play in Florida or at Texas, why would they come all the way here. There must have been something else at play… |
| Texas is not closer to PR than here? |

Its Fiesta season people!
Soo excited to hear about this years plastic broken sombrero medals, rec coaches who quit mid tournament, u13 teams playing u19 teams. CYA rec teams playing CYA all star teams, entire brackets full of 30-0 scores..... I guess they do read here because they changed their logo from the vaguely i appropriate South of the border theme to a soccer ball. |
I hope they serve margaritas and nachos at this fiesta bowl! It would be the first smart move in 3 years. |
| Don't forget about the team from Puerto Rico!!! |
Who could forget?! |
Certainly not those poor Puerto Rican club families who flew out here for an "elite" tournament. |
They could have done their research. |
| I'm confused - I thought this was just the rec all star games. |
