[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reality is both 22 teams should have been at their best this past summer tournament season.  These are the facts, easily checked: Blue could barely win one game, if that, a tournament.  Orange won almost all of their games and, as a previous poster said, came in second out of at least 30 teams at the Mid Atlantic Summer Club Championships in their division.  They probably would have won that too, if they had their actual coach coaching them.  Yes, Blue and Orange are in different brackets at the tournaments but when Blue does not win a single game at the Mid-Atlantic and Orange comes in second out of 30, at a minimum I think it's safe to say the two teams were comparable.[/quote]

I am not a Capital parent, so have no skin in this game. The comment about a B team being as good as an A team caught my attention. This poster notes the facts support their position. It is true the A team did not win a tournament game at MA. It is true the B team won all of their games before getting beaten badly in the championship game. The facts do support this.

What the poster neglects to include in their facts is that the level of competition was night and day. The A team played the #1, #5 and #37 ranked teams during this stretch. The B team played the #19 (twice), #46, #86, and #139 ranked teams during the tournament. Add to this the A team lost by 2-3 goals in each game to top ranked teams. Seems competitive, which is what you want at this level. College coaches don't care about wins and losses.

It's great to hear varying opinions on this site, but when posting it would be helpful to share the entire story.[/quote]
