[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's what I was thinking. If they're that good, don't they have a home team that they need to represent.[/quote] The players came from all over the country to play on this team. So they have a free weekend. [/quote] Right. I have no idea where the players they had came from specifically, but as good a tourney as Jeff Cup is, it’s almost entirely East Coast and some Midwest. Even East Coast the presence is fairly minimal north of NJ. There’s virtually nobody from CA, TX and other spots. [/quote] Which makes a lot of sense because the team in question is 2015! Flying around the country at 2015 for soccer is insanity.[/quote] worried about what other do with their money & time is one of your many problems in life. Blame your boss for not paying you more & giving you more time off work[/quote] once out teams scores 5 goals we stop and work on other things. no sense in running up the score in a tournament that only gives you a certain amount of goals to include in the GD stats for later tie breakers. ok, SYC mom[/quote] ok, Arlington dad. Your wife is begging you to get off the forum & take her on a meaningful date. Also wants you to stop screaming at little Cindy on the ride home after she doesn’t score a hat trick & get the super team invite. The doctor also wants you to come in for your biweekly checkup. U10 soccer has your blood boiling & worried about what other do with their time & money. Loser[/quote] This seems directed at a very specific person [/quote] Any specific type of person who is slandering parents for giving their kid the opportunity to play with other great players in the top flight @ one of the “best tournaments in the country” No one is flying across the country to play in a top flight division & thinking they’ll win 18-0, 14-0, 7-0. Parents with good kids would’ve just stayed home & trained before they did that The real crime here is clubs making Ron from club xyz thousands of dollars every year to train & play all year around as a TEAM just to not be able to compete against a group of kids who barely know each others names. Be mad at who your paying to develop your kid & yourself for not providing outside opportunities & experiences that your kid will remember[/quote] You really don't get it. Numerous kids on the Ballers Elite team are homeschooled for the purpose of training most of the day in order to reach the NWSL by 14-16. The ones who are not play on boys' teams or 2014 teams. Most of them have met before through the Eddie Johnson Lab Cult, so they do know each other's names. The majority of 9-year-olds on the U10 teams that played against Ballers Elite this weekend train well and have plenty of talent, but maybe their parents are still emphasizing education at this age. Even if you have not encountered the Ballers Elite families in the past, which I have, all you have to do is review the social media accounts of the players to see where the priorities lie and that your interpretation above is way off base. Also, they knew they would win by very large margins and still flew from California, Texas, the Midwest, and all over to get more social media footage and recognition. It is what it is. They've put it all out there and it is plain as day they are good with "flying across the country to play in a top flight division & thinking they’ll win 18-0, 14-0, 7-0." And no rational soccer parent on this forum is sitting here envious of those kids. I feel sorry for them. [/quote] Looking at the scores, this “elite” team could only muster 7-0 against a local DMV team that couldn’t even win their bracket in Arlington last week. Maybe not so elite?[/quote][/quote]
