2011s weakness is lack of depth.Subs don't play much and the team is dependant on their "stars"-See last year for what happened when "stars" got injured.

But yes to the PP who said focus on your kid and there path.

What's false about this information on the girls side? Looks pretty accurate to me.

You're right. It is accurate.

On top of it being pretty accurate, they had a pretty good weekend against the 'best girls club in NoVA'.

2-2-2 is definitely better than 0-4 but are you sure you should be celebrating?

The Union 12s are undoubtedly better than the VDA 12s, were expected to win, and did (in a close game).

The VDA 11s are slightly better than Union and won in a similarly close game.

After that is where things get interesting. The VDA 10s are a strong group, and VDA dad was convinced they had finally leap frogged the Union 10s. That turned out to not be the case, and the game wasn’t close. Union 10s are in first place in the mid-A.

Similarly, the VDA 09s had won every game after recruiting Brave’s best player and were heavily favored against a mid Union 09 team. A tie there is a win for Union, IMO.

The 08 game went exactly how everyone expected. Finally, the 07 game VDA was lightly favored and tied.

While in aggregate the day was a perfect tie, Union feels good about 4 of the 6 matches, and was expecting 1 of their 2 losses.

“Recruited” How many Onion 09s started their careers at Vienna, BRYC, or McLean? Basically your whole program is “recruited”.

In the 2010’s, haven’t the ecnl league results been fairly even over the years until Saturday?

I seem to remember a tie and a VDA win last year?

Union parents seem to have short term memory. It's not as if Union developed all their players. They McLean merged with SYC a couple years ago to form Union. Then they merged again with Brave this past season. The team has basically cherry picked players from 3 separate teams. No development necessary! How convenient for Union. Just remember where you came from.

You must have missed one of the VDA coaches getting carded today. Deservedly.

VDA 2012 coach was carded for saying too much to the ref.

I believe the union coach joy-sticking and screaming at players on every touch was also carded in one of the games. The same coach that was red carded during the Union/VDA games last year.

I assume that’s the coach we are discussing or was it the Union coach who screamed at his players everytime they tried to pass to eachother rather than kicking it as far as they could?
