1. No muddy conditions on the fields (Which i was worried about) and it didn't rain.
2. Fields were about as expected given it is a farm. Lots of ups and downs on the field (I know, first world problems).
3. Fields seemed small for U13's although Bethesda used every inch of evaluable real estate for the 5 fields. You could really tell on the corner kicks.
4. Parent/coach-player areas were well marked and no crazy farmer yelling to get off the grass.

Given the fields, it really did change the nature of play for some of the teams. Looked like a lot more direct play was going on than is usually the case with some of the teams (Alexandria and PPA for example). The top bracket seemed to have a good level of competition for the most part and it we had a fun weekend.


I heard the refs were pretty bad in general at this site. Lots of letting fouls go and getting dangerous. Do you agree?

Re: state cup...check your own twitter feed team photographs lol. Re: this tournament, no idea but kudos if you did it with your regular roster. Ironically though, guest players at a club sponsored tournament like BSC cup would not have been that big of a deal anyway vs. state cup where rules are in place to make sure regularly rostered state players compete in their state competition.


I've seen the pics and have my own that I took at state cup. I'd like you to point out all these guest players. Every one of those kids are 2009 and rostered on the team. Unless guest players mean something else... you'll have you explain to me if it is. Not the first time I've seen posts about "guest players", I'm truly curious who you think they are?

I concur, there was no quest players. I was the ref for that match.


Corrected: I concur there were no guest players at the BSC cup.

Went to penalties. Good game.

I stayed to watch that game. It was really fantastic. If you want to watch an MLSNext game at the younger age groups, the BSC-SYC matchup in the spring would be a good one.

They still shouldn’t have an ECNL team in the 4th division. That’s crazy.
Won their first game 6-0.


That is what BRYC does. Lose in league games and then play in tournaments/brackets that they can dominate.


Well, they didn't even win the 4th division. In fact, they scored 2 goals in the final 3 games. That club seriously needs to clean house. Stop letting kids believe they're good enough to make an ECNL team when they are clearly not.


Did you go to the game so you could posit seconds after it was over? You have serious BRYC anger issues. Every post turns into a therapy session.


Ummm, this is the second time I've posted about BRYC. So you thinking there's one person with "BRYC anger issues" is probably more like about 25 people stating the obvious.

A couple of close games, but they made it to the finals against SYC, who beat PPA in the morning.


Bethesda's only close game was against a Miami Juventus team. This is the final you'd expect if you know the 09 age group. Bethesda has owned SYC and beat them earlier this year despite a ton of additions to a really good SYC team from top teams of top clubs. We'll see if they have any guest players for this one. SYC/Alexandria in the 08 final, and SYC is also in the 07 final.
