Surf Cup's Fate

[LASTMAN14]

Great day to watch a game too! Juve vs. Barca. Bonus, 3 USMNT players in the match.
[/QUOT



Nice goal by Weston McKennie against Barca.

San Juan (Norcal) has pulled out of Surf Cup also.

 

[watfly]

Based on the optics and teams pulling out its probably time for Surf to pull the plug.

 

[Glitterhater]

So far, the only Norcal club that I've heard for sure still trying to go is Blues FC. But even that decision was getting push back from families.

 

[Glitterhater]

To clarify, I'm not talking about the BayArea.

are you sure they pulled out or didnt get in since they had to cut teams again, each time you had to get approved.

San Juan and Mvla are in the ecnl..... id guess if they wanted to go to az new year surf they would be..... I know for 100% sure the so cal ecnl clubs I listed opted out

 

[dean]

What about other ECNL clubs in NorCal - Mustang, Davis, Force (Thorns), etc.? Any still going?

 

[Bruddah IZ]

Are there any moral and enlightened Surf families who can find the courage to stand up to their club? Or, at least to their team manager to say, "no thank you"?

Morality and enlightenment. This should be fun. Hope the grandma killers are ready.

 

[Overtime]

Tomorrow is last day to pull out with full refund unless Surf cancels the tourney. I am sure more to follow. Sucks for the seniors for sure

 

[notintheface]

This won't be hard to write: "We will be back and bigger than ever next August, with the tournament split across multiple weekends to accommodate the unprecedented demand, Surf Cup 2021 will be the best ever of the 'best of the best', blah blah blah blah blah"...

I was going to make a joke about coaches and pulling out. Nevermind

Davis and Thorns are out

 

[soccer4us]

Pretty sure all Nor Cal ECNL clubs are out or will be shortly.

 

[Jose has returned]

i would put all No-cal as out just based on the geography. people are terrified of it up there

 

[ToonArmy]

It's a much easier decisions for Ecnl clubs that already had 2 showcases and league games all out of state

 

[soccer@3]

Davis and Thorns are out

Mustang is out and yes, force (thorns) are out.

I know a surf olders dad and he said the parents on his sons team are torn. These boys are trying to get film to colleges so it feels like a necessary evil to go. He said none of them particularly want to go but don’t want to push back at surf (understandably) and want their sons to have college options esp the senior boys. He’s a doctor and knows the risks and the optics and he said it’s just a tough spot to be in. I asked if some families might not go and he said for sure but didn’t know specifics.

personally I think surf will cancel. I think surf powers that be would press on no matter what but I think other cities in Arizona will pull their field usage and surf will be forced to cancel. If I’m the mayor of Scottsdale or wherever how much do I lay on the line for an out of state entity?

Hopefully, Scottsdale looks at the science. College football has been playing no major issues and in much more of a contact sport Professional soccer teams are playing too. kids aren't spreaders so keep older folks away and unhealthy folks away. Do wear the masks and other stuff and play on
