[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][twitter][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Such crazy, unhealthy obsession with this BRAVE team in all these posts! To be calling out and criticizing 13/14 year old girls,  including their physical appearance, is so sick! 
Sorry if your kid didn’t make the FVU team (it’s painful for any child to be cut or replaced) but resorting to this low level is disgusting. [/quote]

Agreed. Even worse is that it’s the coaches and parents at BRAVE blaming the kids to protect the coach. [/quote]

Nice try Union! Right, it’s totally believable that BRAVE parents are blaming their own kids?! Lol! [/quote]

“I know the coach in question. I’ve talked at great length with him about possession soccer. If BRAVE teams aren’t playing possession soccer, it’s because they can’t. He knows what makes good youth soccer. I don’t know if he’s able to recruit and retain players who can play it.”[/quote]

I also know the coach in question. In the two years at BRAVE, he had his top 08 players leave when FVU formed. His entire 09 team left after one season. His 10 team will have serious challenges when the physical advantages even out and ML tries to teach them real soccer. His 11 team is average at best. What does he know about youth soccer? He knows how to market himself as “Dutch” or “euro” to Vienna parents who don’t know any better. MYS parents will see through this nonsense.[/quote]

A lot of Vienna parents know more than you think.

He was doing well with Vienna a couple of years ago and kept a lot of players who could've played elsewhere. Maybe ECNL is just too cut-throat for laid-back Dutch guys. Or maybe he hasn't been developing players properly.

This whole conversation started with the idea that the BRAVE coaches intentionally play kickball. Say whatever else you want about them. Fine. Very few of us are in a position to judge unless our kids have played on those teams. But the notion that they intentionally play kickball is absolutely absurd. Period.

If you're going to slander people, at least make it something that might be true.[/quote]
