[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This much emotional investment when your kid is 9...going to be a tough road ahead for you, and even more so for your poor kid. Seriously, it's bad enough to care about this stuff in your OWN club. If you care about the team rankings in other clubs, you need a new hobby.

"Is that Bethesda's B team or D team?" is a legitimate question. Particularly when you have a coach who tends to get your team in a bracket that's either too high or too low for its current ability level.

Also, on a pragmatic level, this sort of information-sharing helps us shut down the trash-talking idiots who come here and say Club X can't be that good because his DS's team just beat their team.[/quote]

Agree.  It's also just generally useful to get to know what the local soccer scene looks like so you can make informed decisions about your child's path as you go along.  Same reason it's good to talk to parents of other teams at games and tournaments.  The more connected you feel, the more likely you are to want to put in the time needed to support your kid.  Plus it makes it more fun.  I feel really sorry for people like the PP who smugly assume that their narrow view is the only right one.[/quote]
