Why not? Because they are in separate brackets or because they lost one already?

The brackets determine seeding for quarters, semis, finals. There are (or were, it's been a few years since I was there) 3 tiers after the seeding rounds. So there are 3 sets of quarters, 3 sets of semis, 3 sets of finals. If this team doesn't get enough points to advance to the top tier after seeding, and Bethesda does, then they won't play each other.

If that happens, Bethesda is confirmed as the better team.

Maybe. Or they ended up in the kiddie version of the bracket of death (bracket of ouchies maybe). The organizers try to make sure that teams from the same area are in different brackets so teams play teams they haven't played before, but it must be next to impossible to get even brackets. That said, yeah, based on this tournament whoever ends up in the higher bracket is the better team.

I don't think so. Looking at yesterday's standings, the brackets look pretty even. Time will tell.

The only determination of who is better is head to head and these two teams have already played each other.

Correct only in the eyes of people who don’t think U9s improve or can be developed further - keep up the good work, SYC! This is what we have all come to expect from you. This is precisely why these kids are going to get their heads handed to them in three to four years.

I see Coppermine in there as well. I'm surprised it's not one of the bigger clubs there like Pipeline, Celtic, or Union. Any story behind that or does Coppermine just have a really strong group for this age? Will it last or will these kids just move to Pipeline? I don't know the Baltimore landscape very well.

Yep. This sounds correct.

tbh though, they traveled to Texas to play against competition they beat 6-0? Heck, they've gotten more competitive games around here lol.

No need to worry. Samba Boys got beat in their second game 1-4 by a team from New Jersey, which lost its first game 2-10. Tomorrow they will play the team that beat New Jersey team.

Why was there a cop at the field?

Why was there a cop at the field?

^— none

There were more goals there so it was exclusively for boys of all ages

Bruh, maybe your girl just isn't good. Bet she couldn't even make the Samba Girlz team who are a few years younger:
http://events.gotsport.com/events/schedule.aspx?ev...pplicationID=6197727&action=Go

If my girl isn't good, can you imagine just how bad SYC is? They're the ones 'teaching' her.

Some players just aren't good, bruh, no matter what is taught. Maybe the teaching is good but your DD can't execute.

How about you answer why the 2012 Samba Boyz were allowed to train on Loisdale but NO girls team could? Because we were told the girls' safety must be considered. I guess the U15 and U16 girls couldn't have handled themselves, but the U8 boys could?

Makes especially no since since a cop was always at the field. Bruh, just admit it: SYC is sexist.

What are the security concerns at Loisdale?
