[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone else stated earlier, another veiled Barca Academy advertisement thread.   They are becoming so obvious it’s pathetic. [/quote]

Nailed it early on page 2—impressive!![/quote]

Yes.  It’s amazing how fanatical and machine like the advertising wing is here.  I guess things must be looking down over there and they need new business.  I know a number of good families who have left due to dissatisfaction with the environment and favoritism there.  [/quote]

Again, only you bringing it up. [/quote]

DP. Who cares?  It seems a lot more valuable feedback on the local option then you and your partners feedback that people should enroll because of a Spanish teams success in one game against PDA.

And it is obvious what you are doing.  In this discussion and beyond.  You aren’t as clever as you think you are. [/quote]

No matter how much you want to make this about a small local soccer club the real discussion is about how effective will American style soccer be moving forward as nations like Spain developing kids every bit as athletic as ours?

The PDA game was certainly just one data point but it should not be ignored or dismissed either. PDA did not have a athletic advantage over Barca, so moving forward, assuming European nations will draw more athletic girls into the sport how will we adapt?

Why not stick to that as a topic and stop worrying about some bogeyman at Evergreen.[/quote]

It’s like most of the girls selected for the “top” in the DMV can not play soccer that way. First touch, passing with one or two touches, building and probing while maintaining possession that is not the travel game. Long balls to fast forward that’s the present and future. [/quote]

These kinds of comments are the ones that people are objecting to.  Can't we stick to the discussion of international (amateur and pro) style and tactics and less about the local clubs and what we think we see based on our limited scope?[/quote]

How can you have a discussion about style and tactics if you can not discuss what type of players will preform best with those style and tactics? If you select a certain type of player based on style and tactics from u9 - u17, those players selected will most likely not preform well in a game that is played with a different style and tactics. A few will do well but most will not.

You actually don’t have to discuss local players and clubs at all to have the discussion about different styles.  Keep it at the international and pro team level.  Is that really so hard?  I don’t think so, unless you are trying to prove a point, one way or the other, about youth soccer in this country, trashing local clubs and players in the process. [/quote]
