2018-2019 SW ECNL Conference Discussion

My daughter (an '05) played against the Heat '05 ECNL team in Man City. The Heat team has speed and talent, and a VERY physical style of play. Hard and late tackles, shirt pulling, elbows, etc... Our girls understand the game we are playing as the refs aren't calling it tight and start playing the same style back. Based on how the Heat team parent's reacted you would have thought we we're the dirtiest team they ever played. No, just playing the same style of soccer back. I asked around a little after the game; several parents have had interactions with Heat teams - it appears that this is the style of play regardless of age group.

If the Heat are going to play a very physical style of play, don't act surprised when teams start to give it back. Howling at the refs for calls for the exact same play your kid did a moment ago doesn't really make sense.
You must have missed the part where I said U15, that’s 2004 age group if you’re new to this. Since you’re an 05’ how can you comment on a a team and parents you know nothing about. You just painted a whole club with one paint brush because you had a bad experience with ONE team in the club. The 05’s and the 04’s are two DIFFERENT teams with two different group of players and parents.
 
Just my 2 cents - My daughter's team has played the Heat 04 team multiple times. They play hard and are very physical, but I haven't observed anything I would consider dirty or out of bounds. Their parents that we interacted with were cool, too.
Thank you for your honest opinion
 
Im a AZ parent. I know we have some awful parents but i find Vegas parents the worst. I'm sure many find AZ parents the worst. I think we can agree Utah parents are probably the nicest
We’re the worst, lol. We’re no different than any other state/parents. PS have you ever played a team/club from Hawaii?
 
Can't speak to their 05 team but their 00 team at ManCity tourney 2017 was obnoxious. Their coach (the DOC) got kicked out of their 2nd game (verbally assaulting the refs). During our game the players and parents pulled all the same crap that everyone else has already mentioned: cheap shots, telling our parents to f-off, etc. Stay classy, Las Vegas!
Lol, I’m a 04 parent. I remember a tournament in 2010, think she was 7 or 8 at the time when this girl from Surf pushed my DD to the ground, man that whole club is dirty. Man that’s a dirty club. Is that about right, I brought up a old incident involving one team in a club and just painted the entire club dirty.
 
Are you seriously asking or just griping? If you are asking a serious question you may want to ask around about how other teams feel about the style of play and the attitude the parents seem to bring with them. It may be a little eye opening.
I find it interesting I was talking about my 04 team and SoCal respecting us where they ranked us to finish in the beginning of the year (4th place) and after we WON the conference last year and you were the 1st to respond, talking about ‘05’s and I have no contact with that team or parents, but after reading one of your later post I see they handed you a “L”. I be mad too.
 
Nope! Wrong! I’m not talking about any team, but a philosophy. Keep on posting like a kid on kook-aid.
I was at work, just catching up on my post. Oh, because I’m black I must be drinking Kool-Aid. Well pal, my daughter plays club soccer which means I must have a decent job to afford it, so we drink sparkling water at my house, with our pinkies pointing straight up. Thank you very much.

Wow....how would anyone know you’re black (or even care for that matter)? Your level of insecurity is roughly pre-pubescent.
 
I’m white. I love Kool Aid (grape or cherry!!!). And Hawaiian Punch.
Not a fan of maize and blue though.
Go Green!!
 
You must be talking about another Heat FC club because the U15 Heat FC parents from VEGAS are a wonderful peaceful group of parents
My DD has played against the 04 team more than a few times. Good team. We never had any issues with parents. All pretty mellow except for cheers at the appropriate moments.

Thank you for the kind words, others are trying to paint the Whole club as Vegas parents are bad because they are dealing with other teams within our club. I can only speak for OUR 04 team and parents.​

Yup, lost your mind. No kook-aid. You again went somewhere I wasn’t. Second time. Stop trying so hard. You realize you went spastic. Like a child on to much sugar. Now you brought in race and other points that have no relevance here. Usually when someone on this forum brings up KOOL-AID it has to do believing in something blindly. Any-who, I had no remarks about the Heat FC club till you.

Nope. Not talking about Heat. Never was. Though you just popped up from however long it was and came into the heat and got hot and bothered on a So Cal Forum. Interesting.

The problem is you all always underestimate the teams from Nevada. I know the U15 (04) and U14(05) sidelines are typically quiet and get along with most other sidelines as well as the . Style of play? Both teams have one hell of a defense. It’s certainly not boom ball or foul from behind. The girls aren’t pushovers. If you dish it they will give it back. And everyone always seems to think their little Mia is getting fouled. @Hitman6813 was just pointing the fact that Nevada teams are underestimated . SoCal in their random rankings, albeit humorous, always puts Nevada in the middle or last. The results speak otherwise. The teams will compete with our VERY small soccer population pool. Isn’t that what this is about?
Shales I think our 05's played at Surf Cup in 2017. Good game and back and forth. No issues.

1st lol, not hot and bothered. I’m here because some of you parents assume me, I post from time to time because I like to let you SoCal parents know that we can play soccer too. We in Vegas are not big enough to support our own forum, so I come here, plus we are neighbors and that’s where the majority of our competition comes from

As you can see I never said a word about Heat FC. And I know who the top competition coming out of LV and AZ are, therefore I don’t need to chip away at them.
 
My kid was invited to guest play with the 02’s a few years ago during Surf Cup. Awesome group of kids, coaches and parents. A few years ago it wasn’t 02’s, I think U12? I don’t know, either way, it was awesome.
