2018 USYS Cal South National Cup Olders - Boys 2003/15U

Funny you should mention a Coach needs to be quiet during the game.... I witnessed Coach Jimmy from Boca 02s today playing the Vargas ECNL Slammers team. This Jimmy is a piece of work. He is constantly yelling at his players - positioning, passing, who to mark etc... It's quite interesting to watch considering this is a high level team (National Champs about a year ago). Jimmy does have a track record of success using this style so I guess it's up to you (the parent) to decide if you are comfortable with this sort of Coaching .

I was cringing for the players but I guess their used to his 'style' of coaching.

How can you call that game a great win? I've seen most of those boys play over the years. This bootball shit isn't what we've invested so much in, hoping our boys could learn the beautiful game.
Ask yourselves, winning or losing dads: How many times did your son touch the ball, and what did he do with it?

Have to agree, watched second half on youtube, never saw either GK play it out of the back. In fact, there were several boots from on to the other. TFA has really taken flopping to an art form. While not that uncommon, it somewhat lessens a Nation Cup win. The audio track of the game was beautiful, the coaches should really be proud of themselves.

I don't understand what you're trying to say.

Who is "We've invested so much in"?

Time, money, hopes. I'll add sacrifices as well.
So yes, we've invested too much to let our ignorance of the game allow to allow us to be taken advantage of. That style of play does nothing but get the W.

I had more fun listening to the coaches than watching the game. The ball was zipping from one end to the other I couldn't keep up.
 
Agree. I watched online and was disappointed to see such bad soccer. TFA was always miles ahead soccer wise...zipping the ball around, tons is passes, thoughtful play. I don’t think I saw either team string together 4-5 passes more than a couple of times.
Long punts win the ball one touch long pass. Everything is a physical confrontation, no soccer sense to keep the ball, get out of trouble. Etc etc.
Was really surprising.

What's your next step?
 
Interesting to see these comments. So does long ball and physicality get results compared to passing and possession style of play?

The fact is both systems exist in the pro's and at national country levels.

yes but to see that at this age show bad coaching and no development for those kids. do you think the professional using there physicality always played like that. that is old US soccer style. some coaches are learning from the mistake from the past and trying to do better. there is no reason they should be playing ugly soccer at this age.

As I have said before, it was just a small team trying to get better to compete with the big boys. We have gone from Europa Div, to mid-table SCDSL Champions Div, to
top 3 Champs Div to National Cup Semis. Kids are getting there, coaching is getting there, experience is coming.
 
On behalf of the Fullerton Rangers, congrats to the Champion TFA and finalist LAUFA, very well played!

It's always a pleasure playing you guys and will see you soon in Cerittos.
