It's funny because they would smash your daughters weak SC Del Sol team sweetchuck. If you had half a brain (doubtful) you would focus less on Legends and SoCal and focus more on your mediocre (at best) club and getting your clearly bad to mediocre player committed to a JUCO or something useful. I hear that Slammers and Surf could use some scrubs for their "G" teams!

Dang you're good!

I think I'm in love:cool:
 
I will just focus on trolling you. It is working well so far. You do have a tendency to go after kids though. It is shameful character flaw. It is your modus operandi when you get upset.

Shame (think Game of Thrones)

Nice try, but 3thatplay based on his profile lives in San Marcos and has Colorado as his avatar. The only player committed to Colorado who lives in San Marcos is KW (refer to Google committment spreadsheet) who plays for Carlsbad/Galaxy and class of 2018. Circumstantial evidence proves otherwise.

If you are referring to Colorado not haven't 7-8 players transfering out this offseason. That is a FACT!

But you still have the wrong team. I will give you a clue, next week, things will be different. As far as Avatars go, can you name the surf spot in mine?

Regarding the whole AZ vs. SoCal thing, why would anyone of us adults say negative things about any of these players (I am not talking about NoGoal here)? They are minors in case some of you have forgotten. It is also considered to be somewhat in poor taste to post full names of minors on the forums. Maybe it is just me, but I have a tremendous amount of respect for these young women and feel privileged to watch them play. The ride is over soon, can't we just all get along and be happy to be involved with such an amazing group of athletes? The facts are that SoCal teams could get plenty of competition by playing other SoCal teams, but the artificial divide created by ECNL and soon to be GDA prevents that. If the AZ teams want to play SoCal teams, then let them come to SoCal if for no other reason than savings in jet fuel and hotel dollars. There are many good AZ teams and players, but the facts are that the population density of AZ does not allow for the same number of high level teams.

I have nothing against ECNL teams. ECNL is for now the best way to get college exposure, but NOT the only way. The fact that top level players come from non-ECNL clubs proves that. GDA will change things in ways that will not concern many of us. The younger's parents will have to navigate that situation and I wish them luck. Remember, we are all caught in a fight for power and money between USYS and US Club Soccer, but that is certainly no reason to wish ill will on another team. ECNL and GDA certainly do not give a crap about the players or the parents. They only care about the money. ECNL is a closed monopoly that excludes many teams that could be competive. From the looks of it, GDA will be the same. If (and this is a big if), it is good for youth development to have teams from around the country compete with each other then it would seem to me that there should be a way for any team to earn a spot. Notice that I said TEAM, not CLUB. Why would you want to exclude and up and coming coach and team from a small club.

As far as Legends U16 goes, when they are firing on all cylinders, they can compete with anyone in their age group. We will never see that though due to the fact that the grownups that "manage" youth soccer can't get along.

Yup, you are Sweetsplat alright. You use to post in the old forum that everything outside of ECNL was the JV league and always attacking SoCal teams!

You have twice posted "wrong team", but not the wrong individual. As for teams are you saying, 3thatplay's DD is moving to Surf or another club. "next week things will be different", so she is still playing for Carlsbad in Texas for USYS Championships and it concludes this weekend. My guess, his DD is moving to Surf to play ECNL this fall (DA doesn't begin yet), so she can play against girls she will be competing against in the Pac12 conference in 2 years time.

As for your avatar, I don't surf...but, obviously you do. I will take a guess though, Trestles.

I am definitely not Sweetsplat but I guess I have kinda taken that banner and run with it. I post under this same user name on the AZ forum.

You already admitted on the AZ forum that your DD plays for Del Sol U17, so be cognizant what you post, if you are running with his banner. You could end up like Sweetsplat with threating private messages.

If you think that it is working please keep it up I enjoy smacking you down. You are transparent buddy. I wonder if things are working out well with you and your wife. I've seen lots like you come and go. Especially when you realize that things aren't working out like you saw them working out.

I get it. You have to drive your kid out to California every other weekend and you are frustrated by the beat downs that you are watching your little Mia endure. She is getting frustrated and thinking about taking up other activities (boys?) and it is pissing you off because you have been spending $10k a year since she was in 8th grade on soccer. Not to mention that she isn't committed (like most of the players on her team) and you are starting to lose your faith in the platform provided by the ECNL. You want to blame someone and since it can't be you then it has to be the kickball California teams that ARE getting their players into schools.

I get it. Not gonna work. Nice try. NEXT...

What is comical? Nothing is funny, if Sweetsplat was receiving threatening PM's from AZ posters.

No one on the forum is anonymous. Everyone leaves a trail of bread crumbs that eventually reveals their identity and why MessiFTW should be careful, if he is carrying the Sweetsplat banner now.

For example: Sweetsplat used to post A LOT of crap on SoCal players and teams. He was easy to ID, because he concentrated his post on 2 age groups. He was pro ECNL, lived in AZ. There are only 2 ECNL clubs in AZ. He posted a lot about Sereno winning an ECNL Championship, so it was a subconscious tell that his older DD played on that team. Cross reference that Sereno team roster with the younger ECNL roster (age group he posts on) for matching last names. Then Google the player's first, last name and ECNL.... Viola identity uncovered. Some crazy parents post their private information like home address, phone number and email on their DD's ECNL bio. Good thing it's a new forum and ALL the bread crumbs have been swept away.

Nogogot, u got the 411....My buddies who are with various agencies would be impressed - for real.
 
So I just watched the replay of the Legends vs. CUP game and I have to tell you Cali, the Legends team is not a possession soccer team. CUP held more possession and connected many more passes. The PK call on the first goal could have gone either way and the second goal had no buildup and was simply a great individual effort from the outside back or wide mid that made the run and scored the goal. Not sure what exquisite coaching Hodges does for that team but it isn't possession based.

I did like the black holding mid. She bails the team out a lot and she does a good job of stopping threats up the middle and getting the attack going. She doesn't turn with the ball with a defender on her back but she has all of the tools to be a successful college player and wouldn't be surprised if she is going to a power 5 conference school. She will be a good college player but it probably has more to do with her and her parents and less about the Legends development machine.

Outside of her I wasn't impressed. Just keeping it real.
