Matchfit 2009 ECNL

[Guest]

Truth is that all ECNL clubs in NJ besides PDA blue are not doing well at all.

That is an understatement. Take the top 3-4 kids off Blue and they wouldn't be winning anything either.

So White and South should be RL teams and not in ECNL. Agree with that.

The talent and coaching just isn't there to justify 3 teams per age group. What happens when White ties South and both end up with zero league wins. Party?

yea party for coaches , parents not much, just write another check to PDA.

PDA White against PF this weekend
2009 0:3
2010 0:7
2011 0:5

Total 0 (zero, zilch, nada) goals scored - 15 goals allowed averaging 5 goals per team.

Somebody should be mad, if you are parent at any of these teams you have been hosed, old fashion way.

Chuckle chuckle, hosed the old fashion way. I'm sure kids are wearing those pda shirts around like their something special

Take the top 3-4 players off man city and it would be totally different. Your point is dumb.

Why. Parents of players 5-22 think their kids are special when they are at the same playing level as 98% of the kids playing.

Would Man City be fighting relegation if you took out the top 5? No they wouldn't but White and South don't have that worry. They can just stink forever/take up space.

The post simply said PDA blue would be totally different if top 3-4 players weren’t there. It wasn’t an argument over relegation or what parents 5-22 think. The FACT is that the best team in the world would be very different without their top 3-4 players. Nevertheless a 14u team. Come on get real.

Take any 09 team in the state and give me their 5-22. I will take PDA blues 5-22 every day of the week.

I'll take 15 kids from random clubs and beat PDA blue 5-22 all day long. Nothing special there.

I could also do the same 15 kids from random clubs throughout the State and take PDA blue to the mat also. Might not win but would be a better game than if they played White or South.

So what is it? Are 5-22 just like the 98% of the rest of the state or not? Bc if they are the same as 98% then you wouldn’t need to make up a team from the rest of the state to compete with 5-22.

Should we use small words so you can understand? 5-22 from PDA are the same as taking 15 kids picked from other clubs means there is zero difference in talent. Only difference is the studs (5 is generous #) and it seems you agree.

Put another way. Take the top 5 off blue and put them on white. Now those teams can change jerseys and white is now blue and blue is the new white.

Doesn't matter if kid is PDA 5-22 or the 15 from other teams are from, PDA blue is successful due to those top 5 kids not the rest or the wonderful coaching staff.

Different yes. Not be competitive no. PDA blue without the top 3-4 players would be the equivalent of white or south skill wise i.e. not competitive in ECNL.

BS, you have no clue what are talking about. Players for any top ECNL team are top players in the area, all of them, not just top 5. They re all very talented and athletic. They been selected from a huge pool of players. Please send your 15 kids for random clubs to the tryouts and not a single one would make top ECNL team roster.

Some people would have a very hard time picking top 5. They are all very good no doubt about it

Sure they are. HS teams in this area with several ECNL players lose regularly to teams with just EDP kids/no ECNL anywhere to be found on the field. They only time these ECNL "superstars" are any good is when they are with the 3-5 studs that would make any teammate better.

I would be big money if Blue played White in a scrimmage and White got the top 5 from Blue the result would go to White. White can't win a game in ECNL but they would suddenly win that scrimmage game with the studs against Blue with the fantastic bench. Since they scrimmage already for practice it shouldn't be too hard to make happen.

I still stand by choosing 15 girls outside of PDA would have the same success as White if given Blue's top 5.

5-22 for PDA Blue are no different than 100's of other girls playing in NJ. The coach would even admit it.
