[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did anyone see that Husel U19 won a tournament last night in Pennsylvania at United Sports and their last game finished at 11 pm? They played 3 no name teams, giving up zero goals, then replayed a team they had already beaten in the finals. Sounds like they just went to get an easy win and show off some hardware on Instagram. Is that a good enough reason to have to drive home 3 hours in the middle of the night? Absolutely not![/quote]

Yea - they did the same thing back in December - traveled to Philly to play some weak teams. Some times clubs aren’t looking to get better but to get some Instagram worthy posts. If they cared about being challenged  or preparing correctly for NITS, they would go play at the WC Eagles training facility (also in PA - haha.) But they don’t because those weekend tournaments don’t come with medals but with very tough competition.[/quote]

WC Eagles is an additional hour away from northern VA so it could have been a distance/travel decision to go to united sports. PA usually has some good competition so it must have been the pool they were placed in which they don't have any control over. tournament directors for united sports' indoor series are responsible for pool placement. Teams don't know the schedule or when the games are until the week of the tournament so they did not choose to play at 11pm. As for instagram...its not that serious, every club has one, every club posts about their winnings. I don't see the difference.[/quote]
