Academy season

I just think if you are winning you are developing.
Galaxy and Goldenstate are the teams that I see developing the kids the right way

Assuming you're serious, you couldn't be more wrong. The need to win trumps development at this point.
My son can paint a one-eyed bull like a million dollar Picasso painting this afternoon, as if he were an artist. But he's not an artist. His one-eyed bull wouldn't be worth shit. It took Picasso decades of hard work to become an artist.
 
There was a 10 year old girl "painter" not that long ago. Oprah "discovered" her. Sold her art for millions. But the people buying that crap didn't know what art is. It looked like art, after all. Not a stretch to imagine she's still painting crap today.
Our boys too look like soccer players. They wear the same $300 shoes as Ronaldo and Messi. They too will be playing like crap five years from now because we're treating students as if they were soccer players.

Did your player get a straight red vs RSC?

10-man galaxy for 40 mins+ 3-1 over RSC.

According to the game Report all goals scored in the last 15 minutes of the game, maybe someone could give us a better perspective of what happened during the game?

Not surprised, I've seen a couple of RSC games and the kid has made amazing saves, now if he was the man of the match that means Galaxy dominated with 10 players most of the game?

lol@ RSC

They might've made sweet 16 at Nationals. P4P, that's not a Real So. Cal academy.

RSC lost a good coach mid-season, I guess once he figured out what's really going on.
90% of '03 academy boys are going sideways for the sake of those wins.
Not easy to be a real academy in this little-league environment. Check out an '02 GSA game and see for yourselves. Club del barrio.

I talked to that RSC coach, club basically didn't let him coach or run things like he wanted.

GSA needs to support there academy a bit better, that highland pitch they play for home games is so far removed, narrow, in poor shape that it's no better than playing in dirt. Spend a couple dollars more and get a sutiable field.

The have some good players and coaches but hit & miss some years & teams. Olders on the outside of the playoffs this year, maybe a WC for the u15/16.

The amount of cards and suspensions are going up and there where a bunch this weekend in this age and others. Pressure to win and keep playing time from coaches and parents not helping IMO.
 
Too bad for RSC...

Regardless of anything they just don't have the quality and technicality to play possession.

It was a lose lose situation. Wish coach best of luck!

Here's a wild guess as to what happened: So the academy tells the clubs there isn't going to be a table for the 2003's. That's how they do it in Belgium and that tiny country kicked our ass. Actually, the academy will keep their own table just not publish it. Your club's seeding at showcase relates directly to the wins. Parents too make their own tables because none of us know why the Belgians don't keep tables for the youngers, just that they kicked our asses so there must be something to that.
Maybe a real coach would have some of his talented 04's play up, as I'm pretty sure that RSC coach did. After all, this is developmental academy.
Parents are not happy, especially the parents of the taller, faster (just not really talented) boys who sit on the bench. The gifted prepubescent kid gets bodied, out-run, out-booted by the tall fast boys on the other team. Now everyone's furious. We're going to play who at showcase? Time to text the DOC.

Wait, the same Galaxy team that some claimed were so above the rest, the rest didn't deserve to compete against them?

In all seriousness, please elaborate how this result came about? Was Galaxy playing at full strength?

First we laugh and joke about results not mattering at this age group... then when Galaxy loses we celebrate? #hypocrisy

results don't mean shit, and a few jokes here and there at the expense of those that like to brag is hardly celebrating. Enjoy your kid's game and development without putting down others, some teams might be a few steps back in their development because of age or past exposure. The field will be leveled soon.
