ECNL vs. DA turf war has created a 'toxic environment'

Justus said:
I have to leave for a few. To all of the NoCal dads and Vegas dads not named Mr. Quakes or Mr. Albion. Word from a very reliable source is the DA is feeling some pressure and might allow a group of ECNL all star 04' goats take on the top Quakes team with all their 04 recruits and YNT players in June next year in SD DA/ECNL Playoff Month at Surf Sports Compound. This is not a fish story. I say hell no, my dd would be embarrassed and not attend that crap. Two best 04' teams from each league is our only demand for ultimate supremacy of a true National Champions Cup and nothing less. And if that youth director lady from the Netherlands says no, and says stuff like, "you guys just care about winning." I will take her to Normandie beach and bring the English guy with her and tell her this: This is America where want to win always and we do, except with the men in soccer. The girls have been doing just find until you came along. We came over to Euro in 1941 to help fix a problem none of you could fix alone. You have ruined our youth soccer sport with your stupid, anti HS School and anti Latino crap once and for all. We need change now!!!!

Last correction of the night and you will not hear a peep from me until next week. 100%. I was arrogant to write the above that's in Red. I'm dreaming and assuming she would be invited and it reads very arrogant when I read back to myself. Good night all :)

I don’t know about Vegas teams for younger girls, but For older girl LVSA (non DA or ECNL) is much stronger than DA or ECNL options in Las Vegas - at least for U16 and U17. In SoCal there are a handful of non DA and non ECNL teams in the older ages that are competitive against their DA and ECNL counterparts. Hoping these 02s and 03s (and probably some 04s) who are at that same level but who’ve opted not to play DA or ECNL can get past all this madness and finish out their club careers unscathed.

I need to say sorry to you Own Goal. I took "stronger" as "better than" when you were saying "better options." Bushman told me to go back and read and I'm doing that. Sorry for being a jerk. Please forgive me
 
General rule when online forum posting -- if you have more than two consecutive posts without a response, you are talking to yourself. Best to take that conversation private, and keep it in your head.

I think Dominic needs to change the name of this forum to the Justus Show

Actually, no need for that. My "show" is officially over at the Fabulous Forum. I will leave you with a few "chickisms." Imagine him calling Youth Soccer games for 40 years and what his "chickisms" would be for this circus. Sorry but Jim Rome is right. This can't be a sport although for the last 9 years I dreamed it was. Enjoy the game of soccer folks.

Boo birds
Fans who boo their own team when they play badly.

Camping in the lane
A player who spends a lot of time in the lane without getting called for a three-second violation. Now we know why the 3 point play was invented. I hated playing 3 x 3 and the big 6 4' dude with a belly wins all the time. Parks his big butt under the paint. I slapped him hard many times and he hated me too. Always brag and then head over to the bench to drink his 12 pac.

Caught with his hand in the cookie jar
Reaching in, got called for a foul.

Cosmetic Call
Also called a Makeup call, a questionable call by the referee to even out a previous questionable call that went the other way.

Defense on vacation
Very bad defense, as if they weren't even there.

Garbage time
The remainder of the game, after it's in the refrigerator.

The) good lord and four disciples couldn't beat the Lakers tonight.

He could be defender of the year - if everyone else dies.


if there's really 18,000 here tonight, a lot of them are dressed like seats.
When the attendance is announced, but a lot of the fans have stayed home.

Nervous time
When the game's in the pressure cooker

Swallows the Whistle
The ref doesn't make an obvious call (No harm, no foul).

Next time he should bring his luggage
When an obvious traveling violation is called and then argued by the violator.

Picked his pocket
A steal so quick the victim didn't even see it happen.

The game's in the) Refrigerator
(the door's closed, the light's out, the eggs are cooling, the butter's getting hard, and the jello's jiggling)
The game is out of reach. (Sometimes says The game's in the Admiral.)

Throws up a prayer ... (it's answered!!!)
A wild shot that will need a miracle to score... (it goes in!!)

I saw this and I thought this Phoenix was in Italy or somewhere over there. I thought this stuff only happened in England. Hello, $1 beer night. Butt of course beer will be blamed again just like Mr Gun and Mr Money. I will say I hate guns and only want the right people to have them for the record. Which league is this anyways? I'm so confused with this pro sport. Please don't tell me this is the same league over at The Great Park? Parent in Vegas, do it now. End this toxic negativity now!!!!. We need positive news. Someone please start a positive thread on the positive stories in youth soccer. I will stay positive 100%, I promise. I did NOT start this thread!!!!
 
Quotes

“Regardless once sub out you can’t go back in the game.”
“This player came in the game with 12 minutes remaining in a showcase.”

“After the pregame warm up you sit for 68 minutes!”
“How is that fair at a showcase?”

“Some kids played 20 minutes in 3 games”
“North Carolina was 30 degrees and CO 29 degrees”

“that's a long way to travel to not play as it is a showcase.”
“That is so wrong!”

“Why would parents subject their DD to that mental anguish?”

“players need to get the time in to showcase.”

The answer from some coaches

“All players need to learn what it’s like to come off the bench in college or sit and watch. I know your in 7th grade but you will be sitting, so get used to it.”

“Coaches need to see you sit still and smile and don’t you dare pout about it, everyone is watching, especially The World”

“Coaches need to see how you take it when I take you out 5 minutes before the half is over and you know your done for the day and have to wait two more days to watch the next one on the bench because its your turn to sit out a whole game. I will even use that to make you work harder at practice as a threat."

From others:

“don’t complain about it. Coaches don’t want to hear your complaints especially the scouts. Wait until you get to college”

Or my favorite of all

“I was there and don’t disagree with your concern, just know that there is often more than meets the eye.”

Can you find out how much more because my eyes are burning with story after story. Look at all the rosters and how who played and who didn't. You don't't even have to be there to know..... Lots of girls sitting.
Now girls who don't play a lot are getting arthritis early in the knees for sitting on long, long plane rides and just as long, long car rides all over the Southwest. Very hard on the knees on anyone :)
 
"The MEN brought a woman who had been caught in adultery; and making her stand before all of them, The men said to the philosopher, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery. Now in the law (at the time) commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?"

Did anyone here ever ask yourself how come the man who was her didn't have to stand before them too? How come it's just the girl? Assholes made her stand in front of the philosopher, naked I'm sure too. The wise teacher wrote on the ground and those dudes walked away one at time. Gee I wonder why? Stop stoning each other and let's get this fixed. This year is on and let's play it out. We have some time to work this all out so the girls are treated right, not like in the old days. I'm sorry as a man for what fellowman was up to back then and it seems some have never changed. I think the philosopher was very compassionate and kind to this woman and so should we :)
 
Sorry guys. Its not what you think. I was on FB with 1200 friends the last 4 years and Politics and Religion seem to own everyone. I said nothing on there, ever!!! I have 175 friends by deleting anyone who took on a friend from HS 35 years ago, co-worker or family member. I can't tell you how many friends hate each other all because of politics and religion and soccer now. My point is obvious. Sorry if I offended anyone and now everyone hates me. Please, close this Thread now!!!!!

The thread itself was fine (as were the others before you took them sideways) as long as things stay on topic. Your issue, imo, is that you ramble about anything and everything and post whatever thread you are currently in at the time. Start a new thread in the Off Topic section and stop hijacking all the threads that people actually read to get and share info. Your posts tend to take threads way off topic. If you don't have anything to add to a threads topic, don't post. Pretty simple.

You're 100% and I am sorry and for taking over. I see my avatar and it's embarrassing. I will delete all my threads I started. I can't control what others do. I will give the forum back to all of you. Sorry for taking it too far and opening by big mouth. I had no idea I get this reaction. I'm super sorry. Carry on
 
First off, I didn't know anyone was really reading my rants. This is me in a nut shell for better or worse.
I was told since birth I had to go to college. Mom and her man both went to USC starting in 1939. High School sweethearts. He passed away before I was born. My brother went to UCLA. I was adopted as a special needs baby but no one knew yet. You see, I couldn't hear when I was born. My mom didn't pick it up until I was two. Operations (thank God she had a few $$$) for over two years. Because I had to learn to speak at three, it caused a severe stuttering problem as they called it back then. Oral reports were a bitch back then let me tell you. As I got older, I skipped that part and got an F instead because back then you had to overcome the #1 fear over death for some reason. Not easy to handle when you know the answer but when try and tell everyone you can't talk, it sucks. So yes, my sports buddies would make laughs and some giggles. No harm, no foul but inside I was pissed. I couldn't really talk with much sense until I got married. Sports is where I excelled. Let me tell you, the guys who laughed at me got 100% of all my effort on the playground and I usually won :) Lot's of cheering for me as little guy in sports but 100% not in the classroom. All because I was "dumb" according to some, and they put me in some tough places to try and learn 2nd -4th grade. I couldn't speak so I would have to make my dream on the fields and courts. So My mom and my wife are the two biggest hero's in my life. To the guys who left I'm sorry. Sorry again for speaking out of line. I will now bow out once and for all. 100% will never post again. Can't say I won't look but it's best I move on.
