Never confuse a scrimmage with an actual game

Never confuse TS with knowledgeable soccer comments.

I guess those kids just played bad on purpose then.

The freshman class list of 8 that I could Google real quick came up as SJEB GA, Blue 08, South 07, Bucks 08, MF 08, 2x White 08s, and YMS. Most HS coaches would kill for that kind of list for the entire team. Oh, and the junior 40 goal scorer is from CSA Mon 06. Then again I guess any HS team can look amazing when your toughest match is against Paul VI which is why HS is a joke.

The 06 is an EDP product not CSA which just goes to show how weak the you have to play at the highest level/ECNL to be elite argument. She is good but the reality is the balance of kids around here really are not very good.

[Guest]

So now this is an argument about going to PDA Blue vs SJEB. I guess the guy who said NLSA kids will end up the same place was wrong?

So how is the best player on Pennington Prep an EDP product? How is that even possible? If any of you blowhards actually knew anything you would acknowledge you don't have to play ECNL or GA to be an elite player. Hopefully it works out for her and hope those extra miles and free time lost are productive for all involved.

One of the players moved on is the directors daughter, who moved to SJEB. Guess the director is either really smart, or really dumb.

Dumb …could have went to pda south. Way better

PDA South is a brilliant move. Educate yourself.

Could have just stayed where they were and if not for ECNL PDA South would be out of business.

Best player in Mercer County is EDP tough.

Stay where you are and play the other mediocre EDP teams? All the best EDP girls are leaving for ECNL and GA teams.

I know a 2009 Nlsa family and their D is always getting asked to play with the 2008 girls. Seems like they’ve been struggling to keep players for a while.

Will say it again. Best player in Mercer County played EDP until a few months ago. How did that happen?

It happens because PDA south is terrible. FC bucks seems far because it’s in PA. PDA North is a tough drive. Lots of parents don’t want to drive and so you’ll have some talent play EDP. Match Fit Mercer and NLSA have some strong teams, and are EDP clubs.

Long term, the difference in level and exposure, ECNL just draws all these kids, but at U14, you’ll still see talent in EDP.

Before someone says, FC Bucks is trash and FC Bucks is the worst, FC Bucks was 4-0-1 (No 07 scores posted) against PDA South. If Bucks are the worst of the worst going through major coaching and player issues than what does that say about a club that can't garner a single win against them club wide?

[Guest]

No one is debating South. If they are they are foolish. The club is simply awful.

Long term is also not relevant. If the kid at Pennington was able to become the best player in Mercer without paying to play ECNL and she is going to be a senior already next season what is the point?

It is simply not accurate that to be the best you have to pay to play with the big clubs.

[Guest]

The best do not need anyone but themselves. It’s actually the less than best that believe they need the ECNL and the big branded clubs. They are fooled to believe that the club will get them there. Guess what. At some point you need to play in front of a college coach.

Will EDP or ECNL offer more access to college coaches?

Exception, not the rule.

Also, she plays for Real Jersey, which is also pay to play like every other club.
