Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAgree. I don't know why people hate those two specific individuals so much but MFA does have good teams. On the boys side, for example, 03, 05, and 06 ECNL teams are really good. The girls side is a bit weaker and less organized but there are still some teams standing out: 04 and 07.
I guess those who hate MFA also hate PDA. If they have the time to trash other clubs here, they might as well spend that time to do a better job with their own players/clubs, seriously.

If those MFA teams are "average", I guess there are only 3 clubs in this country and MFA is in the middle, PDA the first and who knows what is the 3rd.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostSorry but I would not compare a quasi township team with subpar facilities like PDA Shore to STA. I may have a bit of North Jersey bias but don’t think I came across a good PDA Shore team. PDA North of course yes, but Shore def not. Not even close to the likes of Matchfit.
be careful when you are comparing things to matchfit unless you're ready to address the following:
- lack of competitive teams (occasionally the MF team is better than pda white, but in most age groups they are going to be BEHIND pda blue, pda white, and pda south)
- only a handful of "decent" college commits (literally if there are 4-5 players who commit to a decent college, champagne bottles are popping, red carpets are rolled out) this is light years behind any pda branch or wc
- real fields for training and games, with lights and maintenance
- coaches who give a damn (how many coaches left MF just due to covid)

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostNeed to get your facts straight. Their 03s have always had success, their 05s were Champs League team, their 06s finished third last season and their 07s were second in the league before the pandemic hit. This original post is clearly just aimed to stoke hatred at DB and JR. Are they responsible for the teams mentioned? Not really. Other coaches have done most of the work with those teams but it’s really transparent what the original post is looking for here. As an MF parent we have not had DB or JR but have been very happy with the program they have provided. You should get your facts clear before saying every team is bottom of the barrel. A click on the ECNL standings will show otherwise.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAgain one team made it to the champions league ('05's) last season. The others did not qualify. All PDA teams made the CL last season with 2 or 3 winning it all. To sum it up MFA is a below average club. Also to sum up your statement, why do so many parents and players have so much hatred towards the 2 coaches? Maybe because they run a business first and not develop players. Thats why

MatchFit on the other hand charges more, keeps 2 of the worst coaches and lines their pockets with cash for selling fake promises to gullible parents. I'm not even going to call out the player churn and general lack of trust between parents.
