[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]U-18: FCV in first place in bracket, MU 6th out of 8 teams. 
U-17: FCV 1st, MU 7th out of 8 teams 
U-16: FCV 1st, MU 7th out of 9 teams
U-15: FCV 1st, MU 7th out of 9 teams

I’m not sure why this same conversation keeps breaking out when it’s clear that if you measure success by wins at recruiting ages, FCV is more successful and is going to continue to be more successful for the foreseeable future. FCV is the established best club in Girls DA in the area. Richmond is the best in Girls ECNL. I guess Pipeline is the best of the rest?

I wish MU more success than they’ve had, because there are some talented players, dedicated coaches, and nice families there. But I am afraid that they just won’t get the additional talent necessary to break out of the bottom of the bracket unless they merge with another struggling club, maybe BRYC. [/quote]

For most of the age groups, most of the losses are close, like by a single goal.  There have been a lot of close games, a lot.  Let's see how things evolve. [/quote]

See this is why MU/WSVA gets bashed. The standings are public and they include goal differential. The games are close if they’re basketball scores. -11 goal differential in 4 games is not a competitive team. Scoring less than one goal per game in every age group is not competitive. And claiming it’s nothing to worry about because it’s “development” gets absurd when it’s now year three and “development” isn’t bearing fruit.

And finally learn the game before coming on here and saying games are close. The 03 game vs FCV was 0-0 until last ten minutes and ended 3-0. The game was not close just because it was 0-0. FCV created multiples more of high quality scoring chances than MU and finally the dam broke. This happens in soccer. Doesn’t make the teams close to equal just close in score line. Anyone with experience in this sport watching with realism could see the two teams were at different levels.

The 05 MU team in my opinion is the highest level team in that club. Hopefully for MU they can keep that squad together.

Be realistic and people will back off. [/quote]

Or the "flood gates" happened after substitutions.  And that same team won this past weekend.  No one is saying MU has become a power house megaclub.  Only that it has taken the mess Spirit left behind and cleaned it up, improved it, and given those players are better training environment (some of which are talented and FCV would itself would take, as history shows it always does)

Sure though, all hail FCV.[/quote]

LOL.  Cleaned up, how?  By showcasing Spencer Henderson as a coach?  What are his credentials and experience with success?

Also, the playups are still around and killing teams. [/quote]

Shrank rosters, moved from 3 true days of training to 4, Izzy and Sasha are additions and assets, adding Futsal and more technical work are all improvements.

I can't argue on the play ups.  It was 04s that came in the last 10 minutes of the FCV game as case in point.  However, I will say it's better, even if still a problem.[/quote]

It seems like the first point might be the best.  Those are some BAD substitutions to make in a 0-0 game to then lose it.  Does the coach realize that these games are being played to win or does he not have a good sense of when and who to substitute? [/quote]
