FC Stars Showcase vs NEFC Thanksgiving

[Guest]

stars tourney registration ended today, so hopefully they’ll soon have an updated website for teams and college coaches attending

I understand where you are coming from, but you also have to understand how frustrating that can be for other teams to register and that either can't do that due to lack of numbers or won't due to integrity. Yesterday I watched an 02 girls team that I know pretty well play with only 2 fit subs. One girl serving a red card suspension from a tournament over a month ago. A few injured girls were not there at all. One of the original 3 fit subs got hurt early in the first half. In the second half she went back in, but she was limping. With 10 minutes left one girl hurt her knee and the team played a man down for the rest of the game. Why did they not pull in girls? I don't know for sure, but my guess is that while it is a big club registration most, if not all, of the kids were already playing. Since there are different substitution rules the coach did not want to risk putting in a player he did not know well enough to trust, but also is too good of a guy and coach to have called a player to come help and then left them on the bench the whole time to be used as an "emergency" player registration. He would have felt that was unfair.

Unfair? We talking about registration! So tell me about what being loyal to a club has done for you. How'd that work out? You should have been trying out at as many clubs as possible then you could choose the offer to take vs beg to be on a team when the offer didn't come. Eat your turkey that day and stfu!

Looking at the brackets. Looks like the loser Sky Blue teams are headed to stars while the real ECRL teams will play in NEFC. Tried to warn you folks….

Were you born a douche or did you acquire that persona?
