This is just plain silly. Did you watch more than the first five minutes? Yes it was a little rough at first, but second half Blue settled down, plenty of ball movement, plenty of athleticism, plenty of speed, plenty of tactical. What more would you want from 15 year olds? I can see why Stars Blue was successful last season.

You actually have a point. They are 15. It's the parents that suck. They'll do anything to keep their kid on Blue. You wonder why he's jumping to 22 this year. He is keeping 4
kids who wouldn't play for White but are parents that Veo the game, have multiple kids in the program, who send their kid to BBN(that was a mistake). They'd prefer the kids sit so they can say they are on Blue.


I can see why Stars Blue was successful last season - 4 of the teams in the conference are darn average. 8 wins right there.
plenty of athleticism, plenty of speed

Compared to what? The GA where all the teams are below average outside of NEFC?

GB doesn't like suck-up parents. And I KNOW he doesn't like banana bread. (hummm........maybe I'll try cupcakes next time)

But he can’t help himself when it comes to keeping the veo parent or younger siblings of strong players? Makes sense.

So you are saying there are kids on 2007 blue who don’t deserve to be there, in your expert opinion?

Not an expert, but Blue parent and there were a handful of head scratchers whose presence isn’t easily explained by their ability to play soccer. I know I’m not the only parent with that opinion, either.

Cool to have an opinion, but don't call out specific kids. Couple of the hints above leave a pretty narrow range of possibilities.

GB has made a few roster mistakes past and present.

Not an expert either, but seems to me every girl on Blue has earned her spot. GB makes it pretty clear that they will continue to earn their spots--nothing is a given--all as it should be. Ignore the poison of the bitter parent. Jealousy is a green monster.

Agree to disagree. Not even the mighty GB is a flawless evaluator. Thanks for the input veo parent. Time to get to work on that banana bread.

I get it. Your D was cut, or tried out and didn't make it, or worse you brought banana bread to GB and he tossed it on the ground. Whatever the reason, you think how unfair it is that your d is just as good as some of the current players on Blue but she got passed over. And you're so bitter you have to come here to single out players. How about instead you tell your D to get to work and improve her game. Use these minor disappoints to propel her forward. Stop wasting your energy here on this silly site.

So glad we aren’t 2007 parents you guys sound a bit crazy. Always an entertaining thread but yikes. Those of us with younger kids coming up are different. We went without soccer during covid and our kids developed foot skills on their yards and rode bikes. We are just grateful are kids are now playing normally. Sure there’s one but job at each game but we ignore them. Going 2007 parents on here bashing each other realize no matter which elite team your kid lands on, it doesn’t matter and the grand scheme. Have a good season. Try to enjoy it.
