Word of mouth is the JC has very strong ties with them and blocks everyone trying to get in. I personally don’t believe it, but that’s what many people say

Jesus? Of Nazareth?
Now that’s power.

The great JC wouldn't approve of the coaching language and treatment at BSC

Perhaps that is true about entitled and cocky.

But they have not shown any signs of crumbling as an organization. They have a never ending pipeline of good young players and they have MLS next. They also keep winning.

So how does the empire fall?

When the oppressed rebel. There’s an awful lot of skeletons in the closet piling up. When you mistreat so many people and ignore/bury so many allegations, at some point it will come back to bite you when people speak the truth.

We beat their sorry excuse for a top team pretending like they could play up a year and are not on a top team at our club. lol They were not good. Parents will stop drinking the kool-aid when they stop winning off of sheer size of their pipeline. It's happening all over the DMV and clubs are scrambling to poach talent from each other to prop up their horrible coaching/development.

Their teams always fall off at the older ages for these reasons.

They also fall off because DMV is a transient metro. A good chuck of the U14s will be playing U17 in PA, WA, CA, TX, CO, NC, GA, FL, maybe even in a foreign country.

Like one club? Why would they do that? They’re completely different clubs and attract fairly different players.

Since these leagues were first established, no new teams have been admitted in this area, which is really unusual. This isn't just because of BSC; they have other allies, or "cronies," who have joined forces to block any new clubs from entering. These clubs work together to keep stronger competition out, ensuring that they maintain their spots in the league, even when they themselves don't meet the highest standards. This kind of behavior explains why there are so few options locally for clubs in top leagues like MLSN.

0-3 was horrible match bioband kids was useless

I thought this was a troll post. And it probably was. But, the score is posted on the MLS Next site. Bethesda lost 0-4.

Do they have more, or different, or bigger 2009s they can play down to try to overwhelm their opponents with physicality?

They won today 5-4

5:4 sure sounds like a quality game happened
