Bethesda has to play its top teams up a year cause it would be a bloodbath otherwise.


Yup - at first glance I thought it was Bethesda vs Celtic and that would have been a nice match up. Nope, it's Bethesda U12 against Celtic Aspire.


Why do you care about a "nice match up" in U12 girls soccer? Were you planning to go and watch as a spectator? Disappointed that you no longer have something fun to do this weekend?


It's a comment about the quality of the tournament. It's laughable those teams are in the top flight of any sort of "decent" tournament.

It is the worst. But only the girls have to play there. Bethesda never makes their boys teams play at Muldoons, if they can avoid it.


This is false. The youngest boys and girls playing at Muldoons and Summer Hill. Older kids at the Soccerplex.


Nope. Top younger boys teams are at Soccerplex, and many of their second teams as well. The top younger girls are primarily at Muldoons. As usual.

Survey says, this is a lie. Let's be real, its an extra money grab, will be more and more as ECNL numbers dwindle.


ECNL numbers dwindle? Ummm, ok. Literally will be at least 10x more D1 coaches at ECNL Kansas City AND even GA Champions Cup.

Hopefully you don’t really believe that about Bethesda and I am just reading your post wrong.
