Where RU now?[/quote]

From what I heard it was a good win for Arl not just because of the ranking but they were missing a couple (a few?) of key players for different reasons so the rest of team had to step up and the bench players got a lot more playing times than they normally would have.

The National player on RU generally plays with 2009 so the team has been winning all season long mostly without her and solid performance all season long.

Oh, you heard?

Arlington dad, congrats on the win.

Both teams were missing their best player. Not worth mentioning though since they probably cancel eachother out.[/quote]

Catching up on this thread and I have to say, I don't agree with this statement. We spend a lot of time on this board trashing the USYNT process, so I would be careful about assigning anyone "best player status" based on that recognition alone.  Unless you work for top drawer or another pay to play site who almost exclusively uses this designation to rank players.

This isn't meant to disparage either player, but rather point out that both teams have some extremely talented players and neither team could consistently perform at the level they do without a number of strong players. I would say, arguably, a handful on either squad, as well as a number of teams across the country have talent at the USYNT level that are not getting an invite.  For example, Michigan Hawks and Concorde Fire aren't performing as top teams in the nation with one star player.   Additionally, just backing out the mid-Atlantic conference from the roster, there are 2 players from Courage and only 1 each from RU and ARL - while not unbelievable, is a little odd.

In the end, it boils down how much pull the club has within the USYNT system, which player a club decides to back and talent of the chosen player.[/quote]

I know both teams very well. Those 2 are definitely the best players on each team.

Sorry your DD isn’t getting the recognition you feel she deserves.[/quote]

LOL. Per dad of one of those 2 players.[/quote]

Probably. Arlington is very quickly becoming a marketing machine for one player.[/quote]why are the other parents playing along? Its not one player vs ma. Demand equal exposure if you are not scared.[/quote]

That parent is very influential.[/quote]cant give yourself assists… [/quote]
