I asked my dd an honest Q last night. Only truth can be spoken I told her. No this or that or eyes shifting away. I asked, "if all the top teams from CA, WA, OR, TX, NV, AZ, CO, WY, ID, NM and the true "best of the best" were balling , would you ball?" She said 100% she would have Bday party the week after. However, with all the top teams from Nocal and Socal skipping ((minus the Blues)), it's not worth it. I want Surf Cup to happen with the top top best best teams. That's us in a nut shell. That's why I got all mad when the first year of the GDA had no playoffs for the 04s and they were going to forbid HS Soccer for public school kids and split socal into two competing leagues.
