Last weekend we were playing down (our whole back line and striker). Parents wanted the coach to use her daughters (two very good players). Coach refused. She said the win would be tainted. I now see what she meant.
CalSouth National Cup Question (use of ECNL players)
- Thread starter bababooey
- Start date
If your team played Flt 1, they must petition to play down in Presidents and meet the criteria of winning less than 20% of their games.

Isnt that PC ..? Why did your coach bold face lie in the video. If the encl girls werent on the team how was his statement about being 3 and 5 true.
Whew Wee... Biz came straight out of peanut Gallery and Just had a digital outburst! Are you one of the teams that we beat ? just making sure so I can understand the context from where your outburst is coming from.
Re: RB Video - I would have to go back and look at it. But I am pretty sure he's not going to stand there and Say "Yeah we won the Championship and used ECNL players ... sorry to all the teams, and parents who are really, really, really mad at me, I am sorry that I used ECNL girls to fill up the EGSL Roster, because if we didn't we would not have enough players to play in this tourney . My apologies to all your teams, we shouldn't have scored so many times, oops My Bad! Next Time I won't field such a competitive team so others can have a better change at winning! . . . What do you expect the guy to say?

I'd expect him to say. "Kick it forward, what's wrong with you, you're terrible, kick it forward again, get off the field, you can't play today," the same as he's said every time I've ever seen him open his mouth

Yes!! Exactly. I would love RB to say this. It's perfect as is. No editing needed. I remember my U10 and U12 Daughter playing AYSO a few years ago because they wanted to play together and dominate the circuit. They did and a lot of parents (on the other teams) got mad at me and actually confronted me on a few occasions. I agreed and it was unfair for me to do this. Even though my daughters had a great time and got 1% better, it was unfair for the other good AYSO teams that deserved to be there and did their best, only to lose in all the championship games to my stacked team. So, you are correct in that your ECNL players got more touches, got 1% better and probably had a great time just like my daughters did but I wasn't playing for a chance to go to CO for the regionals and take the spot of another team that probably should be going. You are correct in that if Cal South didn't complain, why is it wrong? I think this thread is basing everything off of the ethical side of things. But then again, I followed all the rules too when we won all the AYSO tournaments but should I really have done that?

I wouldn't say president cup is "high level" for EGSL players. Sadly, a lot of teams worked hard for this tournament and what your team did crushed their spirit. I don't think it was fair for teams to get ba
Some teams worked hard for this. For RB and the parents on his team, it was just a kick around. Really, RB is bad (we all know); but it's really the parents that allowed this to happen, and continue to support it.
Uhh, well he was same ole RB with his 04s at National Cup last weekend.
uhhhh MayBe Not.... I was at all of this games as well ... and its quite different than how you framed it .... RB was not yelling as much ....in fact I was chuckling because the other coaches where yelling more than RB... One of them even got kicked out. That 04 team Won 4-1, 5-1, 2-0 - They controlled the game the entire time ... if he was yelling like you mentioned I would back up your statement ... but its just not the case. Keeping it real form my perspective
Alright you are right. Go Arsenal Good Luck!
If you were at all his games you may be one of the obnoxious parents in his 04 sidelines.
As if we couldn't tell from your posts already.
Again I don't know why people belabor this he has been like this for years. The only good thing is this pathetic coach and club will soon fade into oblivion as DA takes over. Those girls are awesome- they don't belong on an ecnl team.
Hopefully also at a DA controlled match their sideline will for once be controlled
Dang Striker ... Striking at the heart of things, Please know that I am truly a Nice Person ... and I don't think our parents where out of line ... its typically the other side because the other side is typically on the losing end of of a match .. Whoa, Whoa ... take it easy ... Don't get mad ... Just calling it out!
I know you want Arsenal and RB to go down, we will see, but in the short term ... My DD is developing, Raising Cups and having fun! . . I know that's not what you want to hear but it is, what is ... Toast to that!

And I agree about the girls which is why I say that they should move on because they are extremely talented and don't deserve this. They are the talent.
Looking forward to the classy sidelines this weekend with the 04 team. Hopefully they won't continue to negatively impact their children with their behaviors
Great Response Striker ... in this moment in time its a matter of opinion and perspective ... I can confidently speak of behalf of most of the parents that we are normal soccer parents who love our kids ... always think the call should have gone our way and push our kids probably harder than we should ... but I don't think we will get to rowdy ... pool forward to a great match
Now this is healthy, adult dialogue. Good luck to both teams on the pitch tomorrow. One team has to come out on top but this is the way you play. Two great teams going at it for the WIN. That is soccer.
MAYBE ... YES! . . . Love it . . .great response ... its going to be fun ... we all have one thing in common our DD's . . . who in of themselves are amazing . . .they compete at high level, manage school and put up with Dad's & Mom's on the ride home after a game! . . Smile!
