[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not really the winning teams fault is it? Sounds like someone is in the wrong bracket, I hate to see a thumping like that but its eitehr Tropy hunters or over eager clubs thinking they are better than they are...one downside of soccer 17-0 is demoralizing[/quote]

As another person already said, there are things a coach can do when a game starts getting out of hand like this.  Let’s not forget we’re talking about u-littles here.  The “someone is in the wrong bracket” argument is kind of pathetic.  If you’re the coach of the winning (U9/U10) team and it’s clear that the other team is seriously outmatched, tell the kids that you want them to have X passes or Y touches touches on the ball before they can shoot, for example.  Sure, it’s fun to win but at that age, winning by a ridiculous margin isn’t something to encourage or be proud of.[/quote]

There was only one bracket and it was second team for Loudoun playing teams they have no business playing. Why they didn't go to Arlington tournament like most everyone else is beyond me. I've heard from multiple people the coach sucks and doesn't actually coach the girls so I'm not shocked. Their closest game was 8-0 and the rest double digit wins.

It's a waste of time and money driving to a tournament like that for them. Destroying other teams that bad at a developmental age is not cool either. Those other teams were not trying to go to some big name tournament they expected to get crushed at. That Loudoun team had no business being there. [/quote]
