[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since the MU parents don't want to tell us about their scores vs Richmond ECNL, we'll have to wait until next week to see their DA showcase scores.

You can see the teams they are playing vs the teams FCV is playing.  FCV is playing top teams.  They are playing some of the best teams in the west - teams with winning records and NT players.  Spirit is playing the bottom level teams.  Other teams who have lost most of their games just like Spirit.[/quote]

Why does anyone care about scores in a friendly?  It's not a real game. The substitution rules are different. Often the personnel/positioning is different.  The purpose of a friendly is to try s**t out.

Re. FCV.  I don't think anyone has disputed that they are currently very good.  They are the best DA in the DMV.  They are a top program in some age groups.  But so what? Spirit is getting better.  A big part of the problem was the bloated rosters.  Are they playing at FCV level right now, no? will they next year?  Probably again no.  But in ALL SPORTS there is a group of teams that is at the bottom of a given league (pro, college, world level, etc.) every year.  That doesn't mean standings don't change as personnel does.  And anyone on this forum who does't acknowledge that literally a single player can change the course of a team is wearing blinders, and doesn't watch a lot of sports -- not just soccer.  Why do you think people care so much about what happens early in the NFL draft?  So, good job to FCV.  But why does that have to mean we all want to bash Spirit?[/quote]

Because spirit parents use friendly results to bash area clubs on this forum weekly. This has been discussed in depth.[/quote]
