I agree with this! TFA -> Perez's Beach FC -> Real SoCal pre-academy + G04 DA, all in a matter of months. o_O

Plus, WAWA first states problems with DD getting fewer touches and coach not addressing issue, but in next post states, "Very true. They twitted her as the missing piece of their zig zag puzzle. She scored a lot of goals. At times, averaging 3 per game, but she has to deal with a small space in the field. At TFA, all 10 out field players play around the 18 box of the opponent. No space."

Something doesn't add up.

Yes and I know this player. She’s not much of a passer either. Easy to score when ball is over the top right to your feet and you’re that big.

Sometimes there are extenuating circumstances that are not part of a nefarious plan....As a parent from the Beach’s FC team, my daughter and her teammates rather enjoyed Wawa’s daughter. She was kind and had a passion to play soccer. The family however was driving hours to and from practice while their son was playing at Real, it only makes sense to simplify that situation. Life is short. I think choosing to come to Beach in the first place was them underestimating that drive time and how quickly it adds up.
The player is a great kid though and will surely be around the sport for a while so let’s encourage rather than propagate Unfound rumors.

It’s not an unfounded rumor that she doesn’t pass.

Not cool! Refrain from negative comments about kids......Say what you want about the coaching decision to play older kids (allegedly) or to sandbag tournaments. But negative comments about specific kids in off limits!
 
Uugh.... I read all of these comments thinking we were gonna get some real predictions and write up on each team. I can't wait!! Lol.

And I vote for SD surf taking National as well... I think my DD plays them this weekend in CRL ... so I'll let you know after the game if I still think that. ⚽️⚽️⚽️
 
My predictions for National Cup-

1. Slammers
2. Surf
3. Blues
4. Legends (Homer pick)

When do schedules come out?

Best of luck to all teams.

I put slammers there because we played them a few times this year, we play Surf this Sunday for the first time this year so that could change real quick.

I'll be at that game! My daughter has been practicing with you guys, and she wants to see the team in a real game.

I saw Surf in San Diego a couple months back, they are big, fast and efficient. The only team that I've seen firsthand that would more than hang with them was Galaxy..but a few of their top 05's went to the 04 DA team, and they aren't same as they were although they are still very good.

You need to lighten up. What’s negative about saying she’s not a passer? Why are people so sensitive to honesty? If you are offended because I said someone doesn’t pass the ball you have a larger issue.

I wish I know you or have a clue about your kids. I don't even know your soccer IQ. You don't expect someone to pass the ball when they are one v one with the golie with no team member around. Just get over it.

What's humble about telling kids that they have children and own driver's licenses. Disparaging their successes when their coach allegedly made a mistake and describing them as magical and big with no talent. Picking fight with children, is that the humility?

No one is implying your kid is devoid of talent and magic is just wishful thinking on your part so slow your roll. The driver’s license comments were way off base. I am sure we can all agree the kid wouldn’t fit in the driver’s seat of most consumer cars.

You're getting excited - we also agree that your daughter will need some pillows to fit in.
