[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope people don’t start posting  nasty comments, setting these friendly scrimmages has been a great call from the clubs.[/quote]

There is nothing wrong with the friendlies it is the weird demanding of scores at friendlies that generally gets mocked. [/quote]

Tell me the difference between a friendly and a game[/quote]

League games matter, friendlies don't.  Playing time is different, etc.[/quote]

Lol. Not much different no matter how much you downplay it.

A friendly is not a friendly to the players. [/quote]

But the coaches may not play a regular lineup, try a new formation or put kids in different spots. So regardless of how serious the players take the game the coaches may have a very different motivation and approach to the game.

They do not matter but that won't stop you from demanding scores and projecting the quality of a league, club, team based on the results. [/quote]

I was waiting for this response. It seems to be the go to response I hear all the time but never seen played out.

It’s absurd to suggest that coaches travel to play a rival club just to experiment. They can do that at home during inter-club scrimmages.

A coach can’t do an assessment of the team while also do new formations and moving players around.

It’s all just a built in excuse used by the losers.

Now, does the best team always perform? No[/quote]

Again, your objective, your rival is not the same as the coaches.

It is now January, exactly what assessment does a coach need to make of his/her team? These are just games to try some things, shake off some rust and also to just play a game against another team.

They really just don’t mean anything. Win or lose, they don’t mean anything.

If my kids team beat yours, I have some information and that is all. If my kids team loses to yours I have some information.

You must have a U13 or U14 to be so wound up and competitive. As your kid gets older and recruiting begins your focus will primarily be on your own kids performance more than the teams. If you are a reasonable adult you will also mature and not live and die based on the results of a soccer team. The chapter begins to close as you look forward to your kids college destination.

So, once again, no, a scrimmage is a tool and nothing more.
