[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone brought up Hero’s Green 28. They had multiple losses to top ten teams last year. Double losses to Eagle Stix. Triple losses to Coppermine and double losses to MD United. Losses to Aces and Crush MD too. Barely beat Pride Red (??) by one goal (ranked 19) and squeaked by Monster (ranked 16) too. [/quote]

And they won the Youth National Championship in DE this summer. There’s that to consider too. [/quote]

Agree, but with Coppermine missing a few stars, and Eagle Stix not attending, the door was open for the #3 team.[/quote]

So maybe you have a point that Pride should not be ranked as low as they are (although I don’t think they performed very well this summer) but you don’t make a very good case that Heros should not be where they are ranked. Admittedly, some teams match up against other very good teams well, it does not mean that they are equals. [/quote]

Fair points.  Some quick responses.  On Pride 2028s summer--they had a tough start to be sure, and two games where they just didn't show up at 8:00 am.  But they finished strong: 3rd place in a very tough pool at Mid-Atlantic, losing only to Crush, and avenged one of their lopsided losses by beating LI Liberty handily.  Tied Aces, who had a great summer, in that tourney, and #4 M&D in their last game.

To make a better case for Hero's 2028s:

They played a brutal schedule, and only lost to 5 teams--all in the top 7.  4 of their 10 losses were in November.  Their 5 losses to Coppermine and Eagle Stix are nothing to be ashamed of. They avenged their 1-goal losses to Aces and Crush.   Hero's struggles with fast, athletic, attack-minded middies, and that's why MDU (at least last season) gave them fits, and Coppermine cruises.  They take care of everyone else with machine-like efficiency.  Their consistency makes them number 3, and is superior to teams in the #4-7 spots.  Good club.
