Sorry @crush but what jumped out to me was “the top goats at U10. Those are 9 year olds correct? That’s really U little soccer...

One question for you. What does MOO mean? Thx

Let me answer what jumped out at you first. You see Giesbock, back before the age change, U11 was win the girls started playing 11 v 11. Tad was looking to recruit his last team before he retired and he was out looking at the u10 crop that The Gaffer had been watching all year. This was going to be lucky team #7 and my dd got the call. U11-U18. Only 7 teams in 40 some years. Amazing and their all still friends. MOO= My Opinion Only :)

P.S. He also cut players every year. His worse cut was Mary Rodrigues. He says he's not always right. The great Abner developed Mary into the player she became. Tad missed on that goat 100% and does not get to share how it was he that made her the player who she became. I love that about Tad. It's subjective and based on his 40 years of Brazilian and D1 soccer IQ. He builds winners and usually picks right. Dads on here used to make fun of Tad because he stole goats from their clubs after each season.

@crush sour grapes? You're the worst complainer of all! At least my issue is with 1 coach. You're mad at everybody because your daughter never got the call up you so much desired. You definitely would not have made it with Deza as a coach, so I don't know what you're talking about.

Sounds like yours didn’t make it either.

I'm not mad at EVERYBODY. Easy with that lie. That's like my wife saying I NEVER take out the trash. I love Tad, JL, JH, TS, K, BH, DY, SS, FT and YY . If you follow along the story, it was only 1 Doc and then another liar. So 2 only. My complaint is how Doc in 2016 and 2017 used The List as way to lie. He was TC leader too in SD. Biggest liar ever in soccer. That was it. I woke up to go potty and read what you wrote and had to respond. I'm going back to sleep and will share a lot more today. I hate it when liars lie.

Only known facts. 1) No official announcements 2) One of Deza's 05 National Camp players moved to an ECNL club 3) FCBAYAREA parents definitely know something going on and are all discussing what to do if true

What ECNL team did she end up going to? Curious because others might follow...
 
Nope. Scouting Socal for USWNT. Not clear on age group. Most likely U18, U19 maybe U20. Will be announced later Spring or early summer. He won't leave Norcal. Continue at Bay Area where he has good support to take weeks off for camps and international trips.

This sounds more likely. 310 says he does not give out rumor mill but it might just be that, a rumor that spread.......
 
Regardless if Deza leaves or not, his club is losing top players at all age groups, including youngers, which will make it very difficult for him to continue producing National Champion type teams. When he lost the support of the Earthquakes, he also lost a huge part of his recruiting ability. EQ is our only professional soccer team in the Bay Area, therefore all the top players wanted to be associated with his program. Now, with his new club, FC Bay Area, which is pretty much Barcelona Bay Area with him at the helm, is nothing more than just another club.
The older players will stay, especially if they are committed to college. I think the age group that really has a lot of thinking to do is the 07's and 06's, as they are a talented group at FC Bay Area, but will play much inferior competition in the GA League week in and week out. On the contrary, the ECNL clubs 06 and 07 teams are absolutely the top teams in NorCal for their age.
In conclusion, whether Deza stays or leaves, he no longer has the bully pulpit on his side and his younger teams will fall apart (if not already). He will never have the pull he once had, as he went all in with GDA and that blew up. Simply put, he gambled and lost. In a couple of years, after his 04's and 05's are gone, he will be non-relevant, of he doesn't leave before that of course.

I'd disagree with your assertion that losing the Earthquakes' support is much of an issue. The two obstacles BA has for recruiting are 1) They are not in ECNL, and 2) Do people believe Deza is going to be around going forward? Having those two things will enable him to "have the pull he once had" in terms of recruiting. He still has the reputation he always had in terms of training and connections. The association with the Earthquakes was not that significant. From the inside, there was the appearance that some (many?) in the organization were not supportive of the girls' side. It was enough for me to decide our family will not attend another Earthquakes game.

The 2 points that you made are a consequence of the GDA demise. Which in combination with losing the Quakes patch have made him a non-factor for top players in the younger age groups.

Yes, but you didn't say it was the GDA demise, which, BTW, wasn't why the Earthquakes stopped supporting the girls. It was money. You stated, "When he lost the support of the Earthquakes, he also lost a huge part of his recruiting ability." My point is that he would have still had trouble recruiting if his teams were still with the Earthquakes, but not in the ECNL. It is possible that the loss of the Earthquakes' support made it difficult to compensate him at his previous level leading to him not being around as much. Maybe that contributed to my second point. However, I was primarily addressing "He will never have the pull he once had". Give him control of a club that is in ECNL where parents believe he will be leading training and he'll have the pull he has always had.

ECNL "control" isn't handed out like candy.

I do think it's relevent as well to bring up the fact he took the #1 Force team and left mid season and walked away from a Natty opportunity. It opened up other opportunities for teams like Pac North and my dd team. My dd got the equalizer against Real CO and the rest is history. For the record, if I I was a coach shooting for the U13 Natty, I would have told the Lakers I need to wait until after the season before I take the whole team over to EQs. That is still one I scratch my head over. Why the freaking rush to bolt mid season?

You can say the same for at least 15 trainers in Northern California.

His daughter is going to play or has already started to play professionally in Spain. That may have something to do with what he chooses to do. He may also want to spend the last year with the '04 group that won the National Title. I have no specific knowledge. I'd also guess that if he wants to lead an ECNL program, he'll have opportunities to do so. Time will tell.

Are you saying there are at least 15 trainers in NorCal with credentials comparable to Deza's? That sounds like a thread that will get a lot of soccer-related responses. Start the thread, and state your case. It will beat talking about COVID.
