[quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Florida teams, even their lower ranking ones, are quite good.  I saw at CASL with my oldest a Florida classic team beat a pretty solid elite team from VA.  I think people are really nitpicking the Barca team for some reason I can't fathom. [/quote]

Yes. I'm not sure why.  They can't be seen as a threat.  Many aren't competing at the same levels of most other top Clubs.  I am guessing it is from some other nearby Club--or somebody that left that had a problem or beef (which is usually the answer to most of these obsessions).  It's too far for most Clubs in the area to travel to so there isn't a threat for player exodus.  It's pretty far out there geographically for the DC region.  Staff is friendly and just doing their own thing.  But= you see the same thing with the Spirit threads and the infamous FCV thread.  Parents getting all twisted about Clubs their kids don't play for.[/quote]

Yeah, I don't really get either of the extremes here. Some people are so defensive about the club when anyone asks a simple question. Others are tearing it down. I understand it a *little* bit more when we're talking about Vienna or McLean or some other club that represents a community. Not so much here. What next -- an epic shoutfest over Cougars or Cugini or PAC?

As far as I can tell, Barca has no ridiculously overbearing coaches, and it seems to have a sensible approach to training. I'm not seeing red flags other than a couple of hyperdefensive people in this thread, but every club has those. (It's just a question of whether or not they're on DCUM.) [/quote]

They only have 400 kids total in the program vs the THOUSANDS of players in big Clubs like Loudoun and Arlington.  Not sure what the attacks are about.[/quote]
