Me too. Practice and games. Here”s my take. They are very good soccer players. Good skills. Good passion. Good soccer acumen. One girl is truly exceptional and another could be if she’d learn to play with and off of her teammates. Midfield and offense is their strength. Not so much their defense.
Overall however, not athletically superior, nor particularly tough. Lot of rich suburban kids. They have a few tall girls, but they are not super fast. So when they face teams of equal skill and knowledge but greater athleticism, size, and/or strength, they will struggle. This is why they have yet to beat WSMD / Pipeline also.
As far as the parents go, there is some arrogance due to their team and their daughters typically being some of the best, so not used to losing or adversity. Not unheard of in a hyper-competitive sports culture. Go watch some top notch AAU ball or big time HS football, and you’ll see the same type of thing.
Just not a big deal, thiese losses however. These girls are 8th graders. Good learning experiences.
Makes sense.
A lot of 2005s are still in 7th grade, btw. Fall bdays.
Fall birthdays stopped being an excuse or a miracle when they were 10 years old. That 6-9 month gap has more than been made up for by now.
The team got their butts kicked and some fall birthdays at U14 had zero impact on the outcome.
Not the PP, but damn! Chill out.
Nobody was claiming excuses or miracles (not even sure where that comes from). Seemed to me PP was just trying to highlight that U14s as a whole are still very young by pointing out they're actually a mix of 7th and 8th graders, not just 8th graders.
Nothing worth getting upset over. Take a breath.
I didn't use exclamation points but you did. I'm not upset at all, but there really is no reason at U14 to even mention Fall birthdays. It was brought up as a level of excuse and it simply isn't.

Typical FCV parent- beat all the teams and say how all the other kids and teams in the area are worthless. But, when their team loses huge, gets shut out in back to back games, and parents are getting into physical altercations on the sidelines, it’s no big deal.

If you are still explaining it then it is a big deal. I hope you’re just as charitable now when you win games by such a margin.
Perhaps the bigger lesson is to learn to win with more humility going forward.

If you have then you know that the team is much better than the team that lost 0-7. Maybe they were missing a player or just has a bad weekend but the team has been a top team in the region for several years.
