younger girls flights were out few days ago, notice it is changed. Loudoun U11 red bumped out GFRSC SPIRIT, they switched.

How is it possible?

I am surprised that Richmond strikers are not in the top flight.

They could have asked to be moved down.

Yes. How on earth is it possible? Tournament brackets created by human beings? You'd expect them to be perfect and free from any biases whatsoever, unlike every other selection and seeding and admission process in life. Are some parents here new to this kind of thing? Did you not go through a competitive college admissions or graduate school admissions process? Do you not watch the NCAA tournaments and see some of the brackets they've come up with? Do we not realize that brackets are a lot less important than performance? Let's see how they all do and then you can talk all about it. I don't like unforced errors more than anybody else but certainly you want to use the results to show they were in fact errors.

OK, you won the "everything is possible in life" discussion. Big achievement for you, hope this is the highest point of your day.

Do you have any other comments regarding the event?

I was under the impression that the Jeff cup takes the top teams from states based off got soccer points and now maybe youth soccer rankings and maybe past matchups against upper tier teams. Then they try to balance the competition out. Something like that.

all this talk about Metro United and GFR 08 is in the bottom of the brackets

They are doing well in their league. Jeff Cup placement is also political. But all of that said, MU iz not just a rollover from GFR. There are players from all around the area clubs.

interested to see where the metro 08 and 07 teams get their players for next year.

They can draw from Arlington, Mclean, or Loudoun. Some of the bigger clubs are deep. I know Arlington does not have much movement between teams from u9-u13. So there are probably a few pretty good players who have developed over the past 3-4 years who are not getting a chance. I assume the same is true at Loudoun?

MU also picks up from BRYC, Maryland United, and FCV.

at this point Metro will pick up kids from New York and Baltimore.

Well Baltimore and Philly, c'mon now, don't get crazy with NY but South Jersey is reasonable.

Some folks must feel pretty threatened to constantly go after MU the way they do.

I am never surprised when a quality player decides to switch to playing DA - at MU or elsewhere. Kid probably wants to play college soccer.
