'04 League Scores 4/5 thru 4/6

I guess the question is if the players on the white team are trying to develop into better possession style players and to get better touches, then what purpose does it serve when they sit the bench to allow players from the black team to play most of the game. Because that shows that winning is more important than developing

Why do you keep making so much sense?

So these games are great for development.

A win is a win.  This isn't college football.  The girls learn much more working on posession than they would scoring.  And yes, the girls had shots and instead dropped the ball and maintained posession.  They were instructed not to score for part of the game.  No offense to DeWitt- they are a well coached team and played well.

If you have never seen a player pass on shooting a goal I guess you have never seen a disciplined team.  Sorry to hear that purezen.  What are your DD's practices like without discipline?  This isn't rec you know.

who doesn't try and play a possession type of ball? I would understand scoring 4 quick goals and then pulling the reins back some.

Wow! All eyes on LFS, huh? You know we practice on Tues/Wed if you want to see what is actually going on. Or is it just better to read about it in the Enquirer?

If you're #16 and you beat #81 by one point, excuses aside, you gotta know you are going to catch grief. Thats just how we roll up in here.

Things are not always what they seem to be.

I have seen keep away games and they are not usually 2-1. I applaud the confidence in the other teams inability to score. Usually these games are extremely oneside so you look for anything you can to not make it a wasted afternoon. Of course the 2-1 should drop them in the ranking but that has no bearing on development. LFS white should take whatever development road they choose. However passing and holding the ball against an inferior opponent is completely useless unless you guys plan on taking your team to D2 or PP and play against slower competition. They should keep possesion, drop and switch during all of their games and not use players who will not be in qualifying with them. It's not how they play when the game is easy that matters it's what the girls do when they are under pressure. But now we know you guys ran a clinic on FCD

They don't have to make it to practice, they just have to come see your next game

Very well said Cleansheets.As far as practices, no one cares about when the team practices. Im sure its a pretty scene.
Like I said in my posts. Dont try to claim you only care about developing and playing possession style soccer if you use players from the better sister team.
I tell you what lets do. Lets see how that possession style works out for yall WITHOUT using players from the black team this weekend

So how do you explain players from White playing with Black?

That's just it. A lot of comments from people who haven't seen the games.

Got a question for the LFS White parent out there. Does LFS White have enough players to field a team without the help of the Black players? If not, why stay around so close to July 1st.? What has JK promised to the White parents? This is my first rodeo with all this July 1st mess so don't really know how all this works. I guess this could also go for some of the lower LP teams that share players constantly and other clubs.

Good question. I need an answer. After this is answered, let's move on to DTS. What's happening over there??

Well I'm not a White parent, but since I have stuck my nose in here I will say that there were no Black players that I recall in the Rush Deleon game a couple of weeks ago. Let's put it that way. Also, JK not their coach. MM is.

I heard the same. Few players making a move (looking) at Johnny Soccer and Puff Daddy's team as well.

No as stated before by others all the girls on both black and white went to Pulp. That's why it strikes me as odd that Pulp posts that recruiting ad every 10 minutes. The remaining girls stick around for the bag of oranges that JK has promised them. All are very afraid of catching ricketts. As for how the July 1st mess works, it's simple, find teams that will be dangerous to yours during the QT and come up with anything possible to be able to spread rumours about them. Lower LP teams? I've only been around for 2 years or so and can't say I've seen one game with the same girls from any team for pretty much any club.

I heard "The Force" has been shaken at DTS. Parents are questioning last few performance..

Haven't seen them play but their latest results aren't indicative of that team. If they doubt the DTS team they can look at lfs. I hear they have openings. Then the coach can close the deal

The team that Deleon played a couple of weeks ago is a pretty good team. Definitely deserving of a good ranking. We have played both Black and White and both seem to be pretty good teams. Wouldn't think they would need any help but that LFS's decision.

I think they are just playing more possession soccer. All of those games could have been 10-0. They decided to pass back instead of scoring.
