I watched soccer get taken over three years ago by the dads who want style points added to how we judge a soccer match. If that doesn't work, the same clowns tell us you need to have a 4.4 GPA to be truly the best. "We lost to those physical hockey soccer players. We played soccer the right way but lost." Please, spare me this "whacko berry" way to make excuses when your team loses.
I first heard "they might have won but that's not real soccer" sometime around 2000. Somewhere around 2005 I was at a meeting of local coaches and board members and someone said things would be better if we left it up to "soccer people".
