[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one goes into showcase games playing to lose considering that ECNL/DA showcase game results are counted toward overall playoff standings

[/quote]

Nobody ever plans on losing but again, trophies are not handed out unless a ECNL or DA playoff situation. So for a majority of the teams in ANY showcase the priority is playing everyone and playing well.[/quote]

No, the priority is winning while attempting to give players time to be shown when feasible.

Unlike in the past, the ECNL/DA showcases go towards standings.

For example: Showcase games count towards teams' overall standings, and the slate of stellar showdowns at the event will prove critical to teams as they begin their final pushes towards the Girls' Academy's 32 playoff berths, awarded to the top three teams in each of seven divisions as well as 11 wild card teams.

I could go on about the DA CUP, etc.

Do you really believe, for one second, that FCV plays friendlies to lose or experiment? They know exactly what they have. Their rosters are virtually unchanged year after year in the older age groups.

You think Maryland United didn't play to beat FCV?

You think VDA and Bethesda were just kicking the ball around while chasing butterflies and giggling?

The games were played. The kids competed. The results are the results. Good, bad or indifferent. Would the results be the same in the future? Don't know and don't care.

There are three results: Win / Lose / tie

If it wasn't a blowout, then it was good competition. Period.

Well said (insert the clapping emoji) The notion that FCV only played the Friendly’s to experiment is laughable and it’s diminishing the kids that are on the bench Because what I’ve heard is FCV is the most amazing developmental academy out there and their bench is just as strong as their top 11. FCV dad or mom stop trying to prove that you’re the best around it’s not proven you’re not the best around you’re just like every other club at this level sometimes you lose some sometimes you win some get over yourself and stop living vicariously through your daughter.
