[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wasnt Arl 2011 the number 1 seed going into Seattle?  The top seed will generally not face other top teams immediately. [/quote]

Yes they were hence they got to play wild card #5 in the round of 16 that happened to be Richmond. People always talking about DMV can’t compete with Texas and CA but to have 3 teams advanced from MA to the round of 16 is an accomplishment. It didn’t seem like any Texas team advanced to the final for 2011. The mighty Solar didn’t advanced out of group play. It might be luck or it might be not. All the top 8 have earned their spots so let’s not knock anyone down that they haven’t been tested. Pp on this board we’re saying 2011 Arlington wouldn’t even make it out group play and here they are. [/quote]

So a few DMV teams did well in u13 but generally did not do well in u14 and up.

What does this tell you?

To me it seems like DMV teams are able to recruit big and fast players at a young age. This translates into youngers wins.

However, as the players get older tactics and coaching play a bigger role in national wins. This is what's missing.[/quote]

Fact. Other clubs don’t care about U13. What matters are the U16-U19 age groups. [/quote]

Nobody cares about the U18/19 age groups.  It's U14-U17 that are the focus.  [/quote]
