[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so FCV swept ASA this weekend, all 3 squads .... how was the play?[/quote]

You know how the play was FCV dad. Go fishing elsewhere. [/quote]

No need to get defensive.  Arlington parents think WAY too highly of themselves and their teams.  Arlington girls have played kickball for years.  Sure they've won games because of it, but those girls aren't getting better doing that.  Maybe the parents should demand that the coaches teach the players how to actually pass the ball instead of launching long ball after long ball.  Not holding my breath.[/quote].

OK FCV dad.[/quote]

My kids have played in multiple clubs (not FCV) and against Arlington for years.  Go watch them play.  Even a novice can tell they don't pass the ball. [b] The arrogance is what takes the cake though.  The parents think they are playing the sport the right way.  It is comical.[/b]

Who is the arrogant one? You are the one who willfully came into an Arlington discussion board to attack the playing style of the club as if how they play was some crime against your family, nature and humanity. You might just want to get over yourself a little bit.[/quote]

Over-dramatize much?  Last I checked this was a public forum.  If you don't like my post, ignore it.  There are people here that are asking legitimate questions about clubs and teams.  I am sharing my opinion on Arlington girls soccer - some may find value in it, some may not.  No big deal, certainly not a crime against humanity.

What about the bolded had ANYTHING to do with playing style?

Again, You come into a Arlington Board, arrogantly attack their style of play and then accuse Arlington parents of arrogance? [/quote]

As I read through the posts...found this one...and this is what I based my arrogance and novice comments on.

"I’ve seen a few of the Arlington DA teams play and their style wasn’t inconsistent with that I’ve seen of other conference DA teams. They were possession focused and looking to force play forwards when opportunities presented themselves. They took time to reset play when they weren’t. They were very aggressive in pressing when not in possession. There was no “send it” or “forward” commands at the matches I watched, that must have been a different group. To the person who said there was some bad play, I’d attribute that more to talent differences between teams than style. Based on what I’ve seen from many teams, the style these teams are trying to play doesn’t vary too much and is not direct in most cases."[/quote]

What is arrogant about it? I did not read any condescension only an analysis of the general style and tenor of the games they observed in their opinion. That it disagrees with your observations does not invalidate the person or make them arrogant. Why does your analysis or observation hold any more weight than theirs? In fact, your belief that your opinion has more credibility and weight is exactly what makes you the arrogant one.

But I will give you the benefit of the doubt and repeat your hard hitting and very detailed analysis of whatever Arlington game you have watched, "Even a novice can tell they don't pass the ball." If that breakdown does not settle the debate I don't know what will. :/ [/quote]

Watch the video.  If you have the time and interest, post specific time points where the video shows possession soccer.  Like I said, a novice should be able to tell that it isn't possession soccer.  Or maybe I am giving Arlington parents too much credit since I have heard them on the sidelines yelling "great kick" over and over again.  "Kicking" the ball has very little to do with the sport being played the correct way. [/quote]
