[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Villareal is posting that their U14 boys are #1 in the state and #7 in the U.S. Has anyone seen them play to vouch for that statement?  Do they have any players that could potentially be playing on MLSNext teams?  Is this small club a powerhouse or is this just coy marketing?  [/quote]

I don't think you can extrapolate to say the club is a powerhouse.  Looking at the soccer rankings app that applies an algorithm to the wins/losses/goals scored/goals conceded, their top 2011s are 43rd in the state and their top 2009s are 17th in the state.

The 2010 team is ranked 3rd in the state and 75th nationally.  In VA, they're behind only SYC MLS Next and Loudon ECNL.  I've seen them play a couple times.  They're an excellent squad and I think they'd definitely be competitive at the top of ECNL and in the middle of MLS Next.  They're a physically imposing team, one of the biggest I've seen at this age group, next to SYC.  I think the rankings make sense as they recently lost a close match to Loudon.  The 2010 SYC team has a fairly dominant set of players that I'd say is a step up from Villareal's, on the whole.  I like the way Villareal plays as a team much better than SYC, though.  They're organized and well-coached.  They've got a lot to be proud of.  (but not #7 in the country).       [/quote]
