High School Soccer

[Guest]

Never said it was individual criticism. But regardless if its individual criticism or talking about a team as a whole, you are still talking about children. There's so much hate and negatively towards these different teams and it doesn't make sense. I can understand maybe at the professional level. But this is high school soccer. it's not the World Cup. There's no need for grown men and women to be so negative towards these different teams.

People only say you’re talking about children when they lose. True they aren’t professional but when they win and beat teams like Freehold then they are exceptional athletes. Had they won against Pennington then it would have been fine to say how great they are but any criticism now and people call them just children who are still developing.

Honest question, why is there so much hate from adults to a bunch of kids? I don’t understand it but maybe I am missing something. This blog seems to filled with adults talking negatively about children and doing so anonymously.

Welcome to the TS Fan Club . The haters have been killing MF Shore 2009s going on 4 straight years . It started on this page when they were 9 & 10. Just be happy RP players are in HS.

RP has poor sportsmanship which may account for the negativity.

Exactly, 10-0 today?

How is that poor sportsmanship? It only is if they didn’t put the subs in and let them play. Wardlaw had no no chance at all to even be in the game. Look at other brackets and scores were like this. I’m shocked it wasn’t worse quite honestly.

To be fair the coach sent in the bench and stopped at 10. They played keep away for the last 20 minutes.

Props to Pennington. They are an outstanding team and played another outstanding team. The only real competition that either team had this year.

The score was 2-1 between Pennington and RPS. Far from the dominating performance that you all are pounding your chests over. FYI, no post grad players on RPS. Only 1 senior and she’s the GK. Imagine that.

Second squad came in at 5-0 and even then it was a run away game. RPS capped it off at 10, but somehow that’s poor sportsmanship to you?

Maybe take of the rose-colored glasses and realize the majority of posts aren't individual criticism. I have no idea who the RP midfield is but watching the game made me think how it is possible they are undefeated. Dribble, dribble, dribble and then lose possession. Dribble, dribble, dribble, lost possession.

I would have pulled AH back into a more central role as 1 v 4 every time the ball made it to the other half didn't seem to be a good game plan against a solid squad.

If reality doesn't pay a visit isn't it just fantasy land?

ALWAYS the case for AH in a big game. Comes up very small. Just look at the ECNL playoffs last year. Hangs her head, plays like crap.

For sure - running up the score on some also rans comes back to haunt you. BTW, the RP PDA North Super Team just lost to a team led by someone from PDA South and REAL - sleep on that PDA Fans!!!!

Wow. AH stalker. How would u know how she played in playoffs? Or - a PDA parent that’s kid isn’t playing up to her potential or your D would have lead the PDA blue team all year. AH Led PDA with goals and assists past 3 years, when they win she’s a hero and when they lose she plays like crap. She is a true competitor always wants the ball when the game is on the line. can’t say that about a lot of players. Never backs down. Is it her fault that the PDA team cannot match up as a whole to other teams across the county. That’s happens. No one is saying PDA blue should have won a championship.
She’s a 16 year old kid. Get a life.

She was the only one doing anything. If she wasn't playing I don't think RP would have had 10% possession. The midfield behind her were turnover machines. Maybe just a bad game but wow they were not good.

You’re joking right. Anyone who knows anything about that kid knows she never quits and rises to any occasion. Get over her and move on.

I watched the game on youtube yesterday. Yes Pennington had more possession but most of it wasn’t threatening at all. They had one goal where the big forward, who looks like a college senior already, muscled her way through an entire defense and one very nice pass to a girl who wasn’t marked properly. Rutgers Prep had just as many good scoring opportunities as Pennington but didn’t convert as well. That is it. Actually in the second half it looked like RP made a couple adjustments was the team that looked more dangerous. I can’t wait for this rematch next year.

RP never looked dangerous. The numbers and spacing were off the entire game. They only scored off a freak play by accident.

I would say it was more inexperience and nerves without enough maturity that did RP in but to say they had as many good scoring chances isn't accurate at all.

By adjustments you mean take out the turnover machine?-lol
