G2010...how’s the season going 2019?

I don't think it's constructive criticism to say on a public forum that the lateral movement of the defense is at fault for the loss. Do you think that if the defense did more lateral sprints on their off day, they would have beat the Blues? Did he say anything about the Midfielders not anticipating the ball well enough and dropping deep enough to cover? Or whether the frontline put enough pressure to prevent the big forward pass? Maybe he should have said the team needs to work on cutting off passing angles at the defensive third more, that includes his player and is constructive. To blame the lost on defenders for not running sideways fast enough is not constructive.

Like you, I've read all of what Luis has written since he's jumped on this website. I even gave him the benefit of the doubt when he went on here at the beginning and was criticizing his team. He deleted all those posts after some of us on the forum gave him some constructive criticism. Then he gets comfortable and starts doing it again after a finals loss to the Blues. He couldn't control himself because he let the emotion of a Ulittle final game loss takeover his self control. Choking under pressure?

I agree that not all parents can accept criticism about their children but that has nothing to do with Evelyn's right to give constructive criticism to Luis on a public forum.

Evelyn is giving him constructive criticism. She's clearly telling him, if you have something constructive as a parent within a team, talk to the coach and parents, don't go on a local public forum and vent. Go to the Texas or Norcal forum, make up a fake team name and ask for advice there.

Luis is not listening to what people are telling him. His actions affect kids and parents on the team, including his own kid and wife. His wife and kid don't want him at the games. Yet he chooses to ignore everyone else in his life in order to satisfy his need to blame other people for losses, including 8/9 year old players, a coach that is developing all his players, and parents bc he thinks they don't take enough of his advice.

I couldn't agree more. Honestly, that's why it took me so long to post because I know that's no end to this. According to him, the rest of us on the team don't get it. My intention was not only to give feedback to Andres, but also in hopes to represent our team well. Andres has every right to think the way he does, but it's not representative of the rest of the team. I've ignored the sexist comments on the forum (women being the ones having the problem or creating a soap opera) to avoid getting sidetracked. It's only a reflection of the commentators. I'm out....this site is too addictive and I can see it being the #guiltypleasure ;) Enjoy!

This is where you are missing and not seeing the big picture...will get back on this view To be continued.....Gotta go handle business matters. This forum can get too addicting. Or I'll be the one going out of business soon lol..

Heyyyy, we can agree again. It is addicting and personally too time consuming for me. A very unproductive day for me; I don't know how you all do it. :)

This is my last response to you...and congratulations you get the last word. As we both said before, it's pointless to get through to one another. What I will tell you though is that Roy feels the same way I do. He just doesn't feel he needs to come on the forum to tell you; when the time is right he will. Wishing you the best! Out!

Hell yes it is addictive EJ was naughty and Luis took over when I got the boot from Dom. Timing was perfect . EJ put dumb ads on here for the "SoCal Elites Soccer Parents Academy" and I went on many rants well into the nights. Map was kind enough to set me straight with a dose of reality that my goat was not a true Unicorn (first time I heard that term for a GOAT). After much research, my dd dream of playing at UCLA was over in a blink of reality all because she didn't get on that list. It was hard to take but we have moved on. In Fact, this place slapped me hard and now it's Luis turn. @Mars Speed guy went away but not Luis. Got a give the guy some credit :)

It's good to know people are on here with experience and learn from it too. Unfortunately, it's not like that for everyone. I'm glad you continue to give your insight though. Enjoy!

Ruinning in angles on the defensive third. Come on Emma get your facts straight. The first goal was a penalty, the second goal she was defending with another player who clearly had the position advantage ahead of the Blues player and got out hustled to the ball by the Blues player who was behind her and beat her to the ball. The third goal she was running in an angle on the defensive third of the field to back up the left back that was in an attempt to save the play because the right back was way out and left her area unprotected. My criticism to her when I discussed the play with her was that she could have ran a little faster to cover the missed tackle by the LB and block the shot but she said I had to play it safe because there was a player behind me in my area that would have been left open to receive the pass and have a direct shot at the goal. I said yes you are right. But most likely the girls would not have thought about that pass since most kids that age don't see that. But sure in essence she did the right thing and not leave the middle completely exposed for a pass and an easier undefended shot at goal. To say that she was not running in angle to cut off the shot. Trust me I appreciate and love when my DD gets criticized because I'm gonna make sure she understands her mistake and it will improve her game. So if there is another play at goal with her mistake in running an angle on the defensive third that gave away a goal that I missed on the video please point it out to me cause I missed it. Notice how she looks back and is aware of the player behind her.

That's what the Blues call, "never stop and always go to the goal and score. Love the hustle and the finish. Is this 6 x 6?

Luis - I think you are entertaining but I have a hard time watching U10 soccer, no matter how many Goats are on the field. Once your children grow past that age and you used to the faster speed, and it's hard to go back and watch other people's young children. I wasn't analyzing your daughter's game, just giving you examples of ways to give constructive criticism. It's good to give constructive criticism, but it's how you say it. It's a waste of your constructive skills and time if the message is lost in the time, place and manner in which you give it. The words, manner, timing and location of your "constructive criticism" suggests blame rather than assistance. After a loss, don't post anything about the game for a week. Cool off period. You did fine until you threw the defense under the bus. The score was 3-0, which means the offense wasn't able to produce either.
 
Luis, take a look at the likes for Evelyns first post, top of page 42.

this isnt just a couple of people. there are quite a few who think your comments are out of line.

If you keep it up, Fabi is going to lose opportunities because coaches and parents don’t want to be on a team with you.
 
So this whole thing was a marketing campaign for Ole?

Man, I've been bamboozled. I thought it was about a dad living vicariously through his kid, denigrating other players on his team, hyping his daughter excessively, enriching us on the merits of respective national soccer systems that 9 year olds can switch between at will, selling us all on going to Blues, extolling the virtues of dumping a bunch of money into privates, and lamenting the losses at the "big" U10 tourneys.
 
You do actually know what GOAT stands for, right?

Or are you referring to players who have played for Goats FC?

Can't believe no one caught on to my profile pic and for what it stands for. Defenders of the truth. Biggest hint.

My best buddy right now is the GK dad. We both give each other permission to point out the obvious when one of our dds cracks under pressure. Its what happens to every athlete. Blues recruits but they also cut every year. A true coach will cut every year to make the team stronger.

Hi there, firstly let me say I'm impressed your taking this on head to head with Luis. He has to learn from this. My first time on this forum was u9 6 years ago. Some asshole was making fun of my dd. She was this little 4 ft striker and she cried when big girls whacked her in the box for crying. No name, just #7 is a cry big baby. No joke!!! I've never left here except for two years when I promised the club she was at I would behave and not post. They already knew about my posts. I never talked about kids but I did give away too much info before tournaments like we will be short handed or the injury report would come out too early. I did make excuses when we lost. Luis is taking it to another level.

What’s taking to a whole mother level is you bringing up your DD was called a cry baby 6 YEARS AGO! She still playing?
 
Luis Andres said:
I guess there is only so much one can do with a given talent on a team. I know development is important but recruiting top athletes plays a major role especially in girls soccer. Gotta be proud for what we’ve done with what we have to work with. Certain girls are not gonna get any faster or more athletic and therefore will always get beat in the process by the top athletes. Blues are stacked up and down with athletes. On a side note it was surprising to hear what Rennie said on his speech. That our girls should be playing better with the style of soccer when they get a little older. Didn’t expect that. Basically saying they are doing the right things as far as the way they are learning how to play the game. Looking forward to having her play top level soccer on a top level talent roster where my DD will be surrounded by similar athletes in the next couple years.

That’s a big compliment! At least you know they’ve done their job in developing your daughter. You have to do what you think is right for your kid. If that’s with another team or staying with ole as long as it’s right for your daughter, that’s all that matters.

We already have advertisements from the SoCal Blues Bakers, Lot's of Slammers teams, all the Surf locations and the big Liverpool announcement. Now we need a quick top 5 for this age group.
#1 Blues (what else is new)
#2 Eagles
#3 Ole
#3 Legends
#3 SDSC

SDSC rounding out top 5? I don’t think so!!

9 year old little girls aren’t on here reading this forum. He doesn’t go to the games, not using names. He’s venting, take it for what it is. You moms come on her all riled up.
