[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For anyone who wants to talk smack on the GA. A GA team just beat ECNL national champs at surf cup. [/quote]
Beat 2-0 by a no name Socal GA club....

A lot of Q3/Q4 GA players from City and Albion will tryout for Surf ECNL next year for sure.[/quote]
Surf is in trouble. They're notorious for giving their teams cakewalks to finals at Surf Cup. This time they got caught. Socal Reds GA who Surf lost to practice at great park with Blues and Pateadores. Socal GA is developing and identifying players. Reguarding City SC they pretty much hate Surf + wont let their players anywhere near them. Everyone knows Surf isnt developing players they just recruit. This model is becoming less and less effective. The bigger issue is Surf coaches have been obnoxious for a while. Players dont tryout there anymore because they make it clear that recruiting is their preference. You could be an amazing player and they wouldn't take you if you didnt come from a short list of teams. If this attitude doesnt change I'd expect to see more of these type of losses.[/quote]

So is Richmond United at Jeff Cup. 🤣

It’s a “thing.”

Folks it’s soccer. Sometimes teams lose, even when they’re really really good. And that’s not a knock on the GA team, or GA. Great job by them, they’re also very good.

This is why the Rankings App worship is absurd. It sucks, but it makes you feel informed or confirmed. You do you.

But at the end of the day, it’s competitive soccer.[/quote]
Slightly different because San Diego Surf is generally top in the nation ranking and league.

The issue with the ranking app if you want to call it an issue. Is that its only tells you an expectation of a result based on the last 20 results. If the team just got a new coach or the club shuffled the team you wont see the result of the changes until after they've played several games.

GA teams are coming up in ranking it just takes a while for it to show up in the app. Developing players isnt magic. You work hard performing certain drills over and over again. Eventually results will occur. [/quote]

Rankings app is garbage.[/quote]
No its actually really good. You just dont like it because you don't understand math. You think it's witchcraft coming from your magic phone box[/quote]

Orrrrrrr I understand math, and specifically the statistics they are bolting together, and sports analytics, and I know it’s garbage aimed at dumb parents…there is that alternative too.[/quote]
