[quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad]Haven't checked in for a while -- is the basic gist of the last several pages that Barca has lured tons of players away from VDA and other programs because the training is better? And yet those players go to Barca and don't get great results? So Barca lured all these great players away for better training -- and they don't win much, even after a year or two with Barca?

I know -- you can't judge solely by results. But if you're claiming to attract players who've won elsewhere, and now they're losing, it's awfully difficult to call that progress.

I'll say again -- I'm sure Barca is fine, and some of the criticism here is overboard, but some of the defensiveness is also over the top. [/quote]

No, that is not the basic gist of it. The basic gist of it is that it hasn't lured anyone.  What people are saying is some people have chosen Barça for a variety of reasons.  Among those players are some top players and some non-top players. Also, Barca hasn't been around for years and years.  So that's off too.  This is its second year.

And the basic gist of it is that some teams are better than others.  Some of those teams are strong and win. Some aren't and don't.  I would say the 2001 Garnet team and the 2003 blue teams have very good records, if you had taken a look.  Both teams feature several players who play up.  Barça doesn't play at at the expense of being in competitive on some level.  They do make sure the players fit the team and level of competition. Which is why those teams have been rather successful in EDP.

That's a better gist of it.  More could be said, but since your post had a lot of inaccurate comments, this is a start. [/quote]
