Games of the week....
- Thread starter younothat
- Start date
Well it didn't take long for this thread to devolve to name calling, I told u so, I know what's best for someone else's kid, etc.
Back on topic . . . .
the Strikers have had a hard time filling out their 6 and 8 positions and providing a breather for their no. 10. They really need a few more mids that can win balls, do a few moves in the middle, and get it to their 7, 9, 10 and 11 and run with those four to be a passing option, or win second balls and cycle it back to their attacking quartet.
The Strikers had a fantastic center mid whose now on their 02 academy team who would play for the 03-02 team (instead of the 02-01 team he normally played for) in important games or tournaments to play this role. With the new age cutoff in DA, he can't do that anymore.
I'm sure Ganey will coach up someone on his roster to fill this role or eventually recruit a talented player to fill it.

For the DA league:
Saturday, October 1 2016
LA Galaxy U-13 vs FC Golden State U-13
This should be an interesting game earlier in the season.
JJP was staying on topic by posting some backround info regarding some questions about the 9/24 game: Strikers vs Albion in the DA league.

Yeah I was just wondering what he thought of next week's games. He did share some good information though, appreciate it.
Looking forward to the GS vs LAG game. There's been some hype on here stating LAG and Slammers are 2 of the top 03 teams.

Remember GSA is not 100% healthy.
Against Strikers they were missing 2 impact starting players. The center mid and the goal scorer did not play vs Strikers.
GSA Galaxy Slammers
Those are the 3 teams that have to separate themselves from the rest. The only 3 fully funded teams.
The best players in LA should play at Galaxy
The best players in the OC should play with Slammers
The best players in the IE should play in the IE..
That's how it should be.
There should be a rule where you can't play in another County if you're on a fully funded team.

I believe the talent pool is much deeper in all 3 of those counties . And also fully funded teams don't necessarily translate to quality player teams. It all depends on coaching and what you're trying to achieve.
But I do think you're right in that all 3 teams are best in their area. Maybe if they all added an extra funded team we'd see a more quality competitive environment.
...and let's include TotalFutbolAcademy for crying out loud.

There are tens of thousands of players in those counties that no nothing about any of teams you mentioned.
Club soccer is a sport of privilege for those that can afford it. There are a bunch of teams sponsored and the bigger clubs are just stealing from Peter to pay Paul.
We need to close the soccer gap where soccer is just not a suburban sport. Has to be more affordable and open to all to see succes like American football or Baseball has.
Support organizations that help get more kids in althetics like http://ussoccerfoundation.org/ or http://www.la84.org/
Community based programs are good for most but to say the best players should stay where they are and only the fully funded ones mater is a very narrow view.

What happened to most of the community based clubs anyway?
Sold out or affiliated away... TFA, Strikers, Surf, Galaxy, Pats, Slammer's, etc.
What's the difference now between any of them?
CSL premiere pre scdsl days was the closest to a real open reg/promotion league and ever since then we moved toward closed comp with a bunch of new and more $ expensive leagues.

Cost, logistics, field space is going to continue to be a problem with the growth of this sport. To be fair, one of the key reasons why many clubs have succeeded towards south counties in OC, SD and some to the east in IE is field and space availability. Lots of talent in E/S/C-LA, WLA, SFV, SCV SGV but not field space. Northwest counties like Camarillo, Ventura, Oxnard and North areas like Lancaster should begin to field better teams as they have more field space. Certain teams like RSC has dominated the Valley cause they have Pierce College and some fields in TO. Sherman Oaks Extreme, and Valley United would be better if they could secure fields. PATS-LA is starting to get a few more fields which is helping their recruitment.
It's hard for many parents to get their kids to far flung practices, vs going to local high school for football, rec center for basketball or baseball. So that's where your physical talent goes.

Yeah, hard to figure as they were so talented. But credit to alot of clubs that have caught up in talent. Again, it is also logistics, so hard to commit to that drive to ELA.
