[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe I should clarify by saying "teams of significance." Pipeline beat FCV in last year's regionals (team was composed of current FCV DA players and others). Pipeline beat Mclean and has beaten MRM Ruch (the new Bethesda ECNL) on multiple occasions.

MU and Arlington will have to do a better job in order to be considered elite. They just don't deserve a top 5 ranking. [/quote]

4 FCV DA players were helping the ODFC team. Ease up.[/quote]

Here are the facts. The ODFC team that was beaten 1-0 in the 2018 east regional semis had 5 FCV 05 pre-DA girls on the team (all of whom ended up on the FCV 05 da team). Only 3 of those 5 girls started in that game. From that ODFC team, since then the other players that were not pre-DA ended up as follows: 5 to FCV 06 DA; [b]2 offered FCV 05 DA[/b] but turned them down and went to McLean 05 ECNL; 1 to 05 WSVA/MU; 2 to Loudoun 05 ECNL; and 2 offered 06 FCV da but turned them down and went to Loudoun 06 ECNL. So a darn good team that Pipeline beat. Also, last season the WSMD team that had 7 Pipeline players playing for them beat FCV DA. When those Pipeline girls did not play for WSMD they lost to not only FCV da but wsva da too. So those girls made a huge difference.  Anyhow, Pipeline is a darn good team that pretty much has had FCV’s number recently.

But they are from Baltimore, and so for the dc metro area FCV is the best team for 05s. They are the best not due to coaching, but due to the top 5 or 6 players they have, several of which came form out of state or from Loudoun and were not coached by the FCV staff until this season. FCVs coaching is overrated, but their recruiting and DA brand is very strong. At least it had been for 06s and older until this year when they let some good talent slip thru their fingers due to poor communications and integrity by the coaching staff. [/quote]

Only 1, 1 was an 06 and offered for 06. But both went to McLean.[/quote]

Can one of you elaborate on the how they let talent slip thru fingers with poor communication?[/quote][/quote]

Not PP, but probably delayed offering position or playing with DA during the season.

The two families also lived a much closer to McLean than FCV.[/quote]

These families made a sensible choice: shorter commute to practices, a high level team that improved a lot last season (currently ranked No.1 in Virginia by got soccer) and they are coached by Clyde Watson, who is one of the best coaches in the DMV area.  [/quote]
