[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tickets aren’t free considering DA dues at one point we’re paying player salaries. +1 on coaching. All I ever hear is the team will click. When? Can’t you win or tie a game while waiting to click? Other teams have done it. Where’d they find these guys? WSVA 04 has been together for almost 2 years. When will they click? College?[/quote] Outsider here but WSVA 04 seems to be winning and tying games recently. Record for last 7 games is 2-2-3. You can call it clicking or whatever but seems an improvement over the past to me.[/quote] Oops. I was looking at the 05 team (U-14) but the U-15 team looks improved as well. A couple of ties and a 5-0 win in the past few games. Overall seems WSVA is getting it together IMHO.[/quote] Take a look at the opponent of the 5-0 result.[/quote] So suddenly they aren't the worst GDA in the country anymore?[/quote] Let's try this again with the reading comprehension. I said "one of the worst" GDA clubs. [/quote] Lets try this again, why do you care so much? [img]https://media.makeameme.org/created/like-why-are.jpg[/img][/quote] I can only speak for myself and not the other posters who say similar things - for the same reason you care. We have children that play youth soccer in the area. I don't start threads about this club and that club. When I have some time, I peruse these boards mainly for entertainment and when I see nonsensical posts, I respond with my opinion - which isn't really worth that much in the big picture. Maybe my children will play on the same team as yours one day, I don't know. But I do know that I am realistic about the flaws the clubs and teams my children play for have and don't try to pump them up like the WSVA parents do on here. [/quote] People stating why they are happy is not pumping WSVA up. It is their opinion and they are entitled to it. If you are not at the club frankly who the f*ck are you to tell anyone anything different? Do you go on Amazon and troll reviews and tell people they are off base for liking a particular product that you've never bought or used? Or do you just post a review of something that you have first knowledge of, and experience with and call it a day? There is no right or wrong here. Some folks are in a situation that they are happy with, some are in a situation that they see could be improved, some are in a situation where they are not happy. All three of those realities can be simultaneously true because it is PERSONAL. So worry about your own f*cking kid at your own f*cking club or at least share where you are so that we can all tell you how unreasonable your decision is, objectively of course.[/quote] This is a discussion board, right? So you are asking me "who the F am I tell anyone anything different?" If you don't want responses, don't post. Silly me, I thought the concept of a forum is to discuss the topic. And, let's not move the goalposts here, what WSVA parents and fan club posters are doing is much more than stating their happiness. Don't play the woe is me card here. Ok?[/quote] You are not discussing, that is the point. You are pushing an agenda and reject the possibility that some people are just happy with their decision. There is no goal post to move. Some people are happy, some are see where improvements could be made and some people are unhappy. That is the continuum. The goal posts are individual and personal. When somebody says that they are happy with their kids development, that may be true for them. When somebody says they pay to much for what they are getting, that is also true for them. What I object to with regards to you is you telling someone that their experience is wrong or that they have an agenda. No, they have an opinion, you just don't like it. You haven't exposed any great truth or revealed any great answers. All your posts amount to are nothing more than pages of back and forth of "nuh uh", "yes I am", "no you're not". So, state for the record whether you are or are not, or ever have been affiliated with Spirit or just stfu because you're nothing more than a troll.[/quote] You are conflating multiple posts by multiple posters. I have no agenda nor do I care if anyone else does. I am not exposing anything. Anyone can go watch games since they are not played behind closed doors and judge for themselves. I am not telling anyone their experience is wrong either. I am purely discussing DC area youth soccer and MY opinions on the relative strength of the WSVA program compared to other GDA and ECNL clubs. And MY opinion is that WSVA lags behind every GDA program in the area and most ECNL programs in the area in terms of staff, development, talent AND results. You can disagree with MY opinion or not. But if someone posts WSVA rah-rah and I happen to see it and have time to respond, I might. See how it works...I am free to respond to anything posted just like you are. And if someone bashes a club in a manner I think is inaccurate, I will share MY opinion then as well. So here is MY statement on WSVA so that you don't get confused: WSVA lags behind every GDA program in the area and most ECNL programs in the area in terms of staff, development, talent AND results. Maybe that changes, maybe it doesn't. Maybe deeper quality staff will be the magic bullet (like I think it may be), maybe not. No skin off my back. You are free to agree or disagree but I am not going to lose my mind over it either way. You are taking this way too seriously.[/quote]
