GFR is a good 9 v 9 team that bangs the ball up the middle. How that will translate to 11 v 11 when those kids have to cover more field remains to be seen.

What do you mean by "banging it" ? Is that some big boot out of the back up the middle or are you saying they drive up through the midfield in a possession style? I usually find the problem when you get to 11 v 11 isn't a style problem as much as it is a personnel problem. Can they add enough players that strengthen/maintain the quality or will the core group get diluted by who they add?

When DD has played them, it's been a bit of a midfield swarm. Not a whole lot of use of the back after the ball is pushed up, and a lot of attempted dribbling through players rather than passing to open up space (which will work even better on a bigger field). Sometimes they did build from the back, but often got a girl with a big foot to boot it as well. Mainly chaos in the middle, which rubs off on the opponent as well. So I wouldn't say possession specifically -- not that they weren't necessarily trying, just playing too bunched.

That doesn't sound bad. They are young. They need to be allowed some room to make mistakes. The swarm effect may improve with coaching and technical work. I like that better than the big balls being launched by the back line to the front.

Exactly what is interesting? That the Celtics beat the Strikers B team?

Gfr 08 is an excellent and fast team. You’re just looking for things to pick on.

It’s a qualification for the Jeff cup’s top bracket.

Did you mean to say this to someone else. The above post you are complaining about sounds complimentary. Maybe you mean the post above it?

Make sure you are sitting down when Jeff Cup's top bracket is released. Celtic may have won that tournament, but finishing in 2nd in the 4th flight of Jeff Cup last year and going 0-3 at WAGS is going to put them a few rungs down from Jeff Cup's top bracket.

They tied Arlington. Surely they will be in top bracket.

I know - doesn't mean much. She was just very excited about it so I had to (anonymously) share.

It’s great if she is excited about it.
