I think we can say they ((MLVA)) have an argument for top GOAT Team from 2016-2021. For sure the most consistent in staying with possession. We also had that horrible age change and that three letter league that was complete sham that caused all the top teams in Socal to break up and expand the top teams from 8 to over 20+. MOO, I think the San Jose Earthquakes were a better team. I will also say MOO, that the Surf 04's National Champions on 2017 were the GOATs but that's just MOO
They beat the 04 Earthquakes DA team that won the DA national title the last couple of times they played each other (before the DA/ECNL break), if I am not mistaken. They have definitely been the most consistently high quality soccer team that we have faced over the past 6 years.
No, that was before the GDA was in business and I believe they all played on the Force to be wreaking with. Yesterday's 04 ((now 03/04)) MLVA team is not the same team that beat the Force either from 2017. Let's not go all GOAT on that team. The Bakers 02/03 was the GOAT of all time. Turner, Jackson and Rodman up top is still the best of the best that I have ever seen with my eyes. Add the GK and all the others greats and you have the all time GOAT youth soccer team of all time. Trust me, I was there watching with my own two eyes for two years and my ears took an earful from the two brothers as well. The greatest soccer story I have is when my baby goat scored on them. You see, we used to scrimmage them once a month because we were the best 03/04 team in the State back in the day. My dd snuck behind the sleeping defense and we went up 1-0. GB lost his shit and took out the player that was score on by an 04'. I was so proud of my dd sneak attack....lol but I also felt super sad for the girl that got yelled at. We lost 10-1 and we never scored a goal again. Rodman was impossible to guard and I think she scored 7 goals on us. True story too
That is why I said before the DA/ECNL -- The Quakes 04 team was the Force 04 team-- When DA started the Force team went to Quakes and forfeited the last few games of their ECNL season (Quality). For the most part, I believe both teams are the same with a couple of exceptions or at least they have seemed to be when going against them. I have no idea about GOAT's all time and NorCal v SoCal, but they don't lose often especially with something on the line.No, that was before the GDA was in business and I believe they all played on the Force to be wreaking with.

I agree. I just mess around with my Nocal buddies. I think MLVA plays the best soccer, meaning they actually pass the rock around and share it with the whole team. I saw LAFC this weekend and I was impressed with their passing as well. It's called sharing and playing the game the right way. I also saw kickball team that looked so physical they scare me and I hope my dd sits out so she doesnt get hurt if we play them. It's not worth it because college is around the corner and it's not wise to play rugby soccer. I bet MLVA has less injuries then other clubs because they work smart and not get all ruff and tuff with other teams. Kickball is back!!!
MVLA is my GOAT team for possession style of play because they stayed together and they play very sound soccer and it's fun to watch. I didnt see AS play live but those were some real good teams too. I did get a Doc pissed off at me because my little 10 year old left for Blues the same time AS left for Blues. Who knew that my dd was practically owned at such a young age.,,,,lol. "Give me back my player."
There’s one small difference, this years FCBA/ San Jose Surf GA team was a 03/04 team vs MVLA’s 04 team but yes I agree they should be able to play each other. Curious to see if the results would be any different than their previous results. FCBA/ San Jose Surf plus team is overdue for a win against MVLA.
You don't want to know about the mvla injury history! Among other clubs I'm sure.
MVLA has an injury history? I would think all would take that NPL game seriously as it would be another recruiting tool
