That’s interesting given that RH is a pretty amazing offensive coach. I’d expect him to figure it out by next season.
How’s the 2024-2025 season going?

Yes, correct. IF only two teams are tied...that's why I said if all 3 wins then it will go to GD.

They are tied with Slammers PPG but wins the head to head
If he can only keep the parents in check. Blues dad challenged a LV dad to fight in second half and starting taking his clothes off. Definitely most interesting part of the game.
He doesn’t just scream the whole game at the parents like he does his players?
Doing that in DPL vs ECNL is a big difference. It’s just like the studs from DPL and GA that jump to ECNL it rarely transitions the same.
Before he was DPL and was LA Galaxy when we were 7v7 he was strong offensively. We’ve gone to his practices and trainings for 11v11 and seen him work first hand. I don’t think the level would change my opinion of him and his style of coaching and brand of soccer he plays which would be high offense. To his credit, at the start of the year everyone thought blues was finished and here they are in the playoffs even with their core removed and with a rag tag crew they assembled.
You’re seriously going to stand on 7v7 results? You might want to look into how they won their last two games to get into the playoffs. I’m not a fan of joystick coaching but obviously you are so to each his own. I think the players should think for themselves while playing the game.
If he’s joy sticking then that’s new for me to see. I’m not a fan of joysticking either. I recall him having player guided discovery when I watched him coach.
I can’t argue with it not working though. That style of coaching definitely gets more out of players. I just couldn’t let the great offensive mind pass without a comment considering the low output of goals they scored and their main method of doing it is long ball counters.
I mean, if the opposing team is in a high press then the counter over the backline is the play that needs to happen to beat the high press and play into space. Often times, that’s what you’ll see youth teams doing (high backline press), so I can’t argue with that type of long ball counter.
The current team my DD is on is 100% possession focused with a build it from the back mentality. Looks great to watch, but when we get into the final third it sets up the long counter play when the wingbacks start getting involved in the final third.
I don’t think there’s a right or wrong way but it’s an effective counter and the point at the showcase (NL/GA) level is to win games which attracts coaches to come watch your team play setting up for college opportunities.
Things have been boring lately. I miss all the crazy parents who's kid finally made it to the highest level + screaming + fights.
Speaking of fights why do guys looking to fight always want to take their shirt off before "wrestlin".
Seems kind of gay.

What teams will be potentially impacted by player movement before playoffs?
I'm hearing the top 2 or 3 teams are recruiting players from out of state to play for playoffs... just rumor mill.

Koge, Surf and ? Surf seems to be loading up on out of state talent to try to win it all? Legends got some out of state talent but my buddy hasn’t heard if they’re adjusted to SoCal speed of play. I haven’t heard anything new about Koge…
One of those top 3 teams could win it all. Koge has brought anyone (yet). Lots can change until playoffs.
This shouldn't be allowed.
If clubs are recruiting nationally and they're able to field those players. Clubs that aren't recruiting nationally will never win in the playoffs.
I know how all this works so no need to justify it. I will say that if this action becomes table stakes for a national title clubs that aren't recruiting nationally should find another league to play in because you'll never win at the highest levels.
Koge has been flying in players for a while. Surf is now in the mix doing it. Other teams used guest players to get into playoffs this season. It’s pretty sad what’s going on with the 10’s but it is what it is. Lots of pressure to win it all I guess. Unfortunately they are all trying to catch up to Koge as Koge is just on another level with it. Seems to me Legends can’t play that game so it’s really between surf and Koge this year. Unless legends can do like last year and get by with PK’s!!!
