South isn't catching up to anyone.

They’re really not… and MFA isn’t exactly something to strive to “catch up” to.

Truth is many of these teams just sit in a low block and hope for a 0-0 draw or 1-0 win. It’s not soccer, and for the few who think it is…. It’s not sustainable. Even MFA does it. South. White. Maryland.

So beat the low block and then the coach will need to change tactics

Right. Check out the results in the last 4 weeks vs the 1st 4 weeks.

As I said, low block and physical play is not sustainable.

I don’t know. The 2010s had like 1 win last spring. Now 1 win and 4 ties, one of which was against PF. Seems like they’re at least progressing in the right direction.

What isn’t sustainable? You play teams how you match up to them. If you are outgunned you have to play more defensive. This isnt earth shattering news. You prefer they go toe to toe and lose or try to mix things up and see what happens? A good team if that actually exist will eventually learn to play teams like this but still that doesn’t wins especially in soccer. The same tactics happen on the international level. Solid teams like France play much more defensive teams on a regular basis. Every game isn’t aFrance vs England.

I don’t dispute that.

My point is…. spread that approach out over a 20+ game season and the best teams with the most talent playing actual soccer will end up at the top. And the players on teams playing the low block will not only lose more often than not with the occasional 1-0 win and a few 0-0 draws, but the players will not develop either.

So, if your idea of improvement is getting a few 0-0 draws at U13 vs losing 5-0. I get it. But it gets you nowhere in the end.

You taking the position they would develop more losing 0-5 instead of 0-1 or drawing is laughable.

And certainly not rocket science to take the position the best teams will end up at the top. Genius.

What else you got that might make you look foolish?

2010 MFA is not playing at the level of last year. Maybe they lost some players or maybe everyone else got better.

how bad is Maryland to lose 4-0 to pda white? must've had a field player in net, no other explanation

Pda white 11s are winless, I don't see the game where they best Maryland 4-0, must've been an input error

yea, it was 4-0 at some point and was changed to 0-1

I THINK the RL team won 4-0 and the score was put in both places

yea, they won 4-0. RL is crushing it this year (well in relation to most PDA White teams. They are 3-4-2)

Explore better opportunities where your kid can thrive. Sure they have some talent but playing for PDA anything but blue is a waste of time. They don’t develop over the course of a season bc they always play on their heels. No chance to move the ball and improve when they can hold onto the ball for more than a second. They lack foot skills, but have some speed. That could translate somewhere else under the right coaching.

What is this American thing called foot skills. I only hear parents that have no clue regarding the game refer to this. Does this mean technical ability? Does it mean being able to make shapes with your feet? Help me out.

MFA coaching stinks like one of the porto pots at Morris Catholic
