Can say it still is not the best soccer, but when comparing the teams that do win vs the other teams in the same league it is their barometer of success.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostDepends on how they market it. If they are saying they are the best in the state then you are correct. If they are saying they are the best in their league then they would be correct.
Only teams that enter the Cup play in the Cup.
Some of these "State Cups" only had 2 or 3 teams enter. I think one of the "Cups" had 5 teams and 4 of them were CFC.

Seems like when looking at the teams that do win the cups are near the top in their leagues.

Seems like clubs who are eligible to.participate do. Even if they decide not to go to the next round it's a great experience for the kids. Its not their fault the soccer landscape is such a cluster phuk

I read one parent post that “if we win in Colorado we will be the best in the country”.
I didn’t have the heart to tell them that US Club is only one of many national championships. Also only teams in the top bracket can really truly even have a chance
