Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThe U14s are 0-10-0 with a -60 GD. They've have two loses that were close (1 pt) all the rest utter blowouts. Most will be moving to high school next year. Will they want to continue? It's unlikely many will and it will be tough to attract new talent given how watered down local soccer is. The U15s are at least doing ok (4-3-5 +2GD). LISC lost the older two teams due to poor performance last year, leaving girls in those prime recruiting years scrambling. They have one U16 that plays EDP. Next year the need to field a combined U16/17 team. If the roster is only this year's U15s they will be behind other teams that have older players. Most U15s are currently freshmen in HS and next year they'd be more likely to be impact players on their HS teams. Will they want to stay?

Long Island soccer is like Italy in the middle ages, many small city-states, all competing, all self-serving, Mamma mia!!

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThe U15s are doing OK because they are a team comprised of former Atletico players who had no team to go back to for the 2018-19 season and a handful of former Fury players. Even if LISC could fleece Atletico/Fury/Alby for players in the younger age groups, none of those teams saw a fraction of the success that the Atletico/Fury 04s had. They're not as bad as the LISC 05/06s but certainly would not provide the drastic upgrade necessary to make the 05 team even remotely competitive. Newsflash, a partnership with Sachem won't improve the situation either.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostEh, I think you're reading too much into it. I do believe both clubs have social media monitors who aren't very good at their jobs and as soon as some posts something negative about LISC, the LISC folks post something negative about Fury and vice versa. I can't imagine any parent has this much time on their hands to constantly keep posting about how much they love LISC and to talk to GB and MF-that screams young college kid interning and monitoring the soccer forums.
It’s not disgruntled parents it’s desperate trainers.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostEvery year it’s the same thing every winter you see this. You will see it again in the spring around tryout time. It’s not LISC or Fury. It’s the marketing machine of SUSA. They are doing it to all competitors KK, LISC, Barca, and Fury. Look how the negativity picked up for all those clubs and not SUSA.

Actually makes a lot of sense. I always wondered why someone would attack a club, knowing that it would just come back at them...

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostBut there was a lot of negativity surrounding LISC since August. Not for nothing but with their record, why would anyone be trying to lure LISC players away? The teams are mediocre-dreadful.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYou have to understand it's a battle over market share first and foremost. If a club can lure away 1 or 2 solid players ( not all are bad) and 1-2 check writing bench warmers they're ahead. There just isn't enough talent to go around so the clubs are trying to get whoever they can.
