Whats happening with PDA Blue?

[Guest]

Just got done watching the PDA Blue/Maryland United game. Blue won 2-1, but it seemed Maryland was dominating the game. Call me crazy, but PDA does not seem to have the consistency they had last year. It looks like alot of confusion on the team, and Blue has trouble finishing. Another parent posted that they changed their strategy in game play, telling the forwards to always get the ball to one player. If this is true, thay explains alot. This is the second time we have played them and I honestly think South gave us more of a fight. I see alot of changes in the future with the Blue roster.

We thought the same thing when we played them in Dallas. Our game was a draw, 2-2. They weren't the team we thought we were going against in the sense of we expected a loss to them. They had a real tough time finishing and the passing was not what it could have been. It honestly seemed like it was a team of brand new kids that never played together rather than a team that's been together for years. I'm wondering if having a new coach this season is part of the problem.

Pda blue 09

if you do not know what is wrong with that team you are either blind or you have no clue about the game. Look really hard and find the one non girl with the team and bingo.

No way you watched the game if you think MD was dominating the game. MD has a great keeper who made great saves. Blue’s finishing still could have been better. Blue 09 has been undefeated for over a year. Go hate somewhere else!

They had a tough time finishing? Sounds like you were lucky to tie them.

Blue is not what they once were. Yes, they still are undefeated, but the downward spiral has begun. If anyone can say that blue is just a good as they were last year, then you all need to get glasses. Blue was a real good team, and you can see them starting to fall backwards. Beating Maryland 2-1 is not a strong win. And to be honest, the teams in the Mid Atlantic division aren't the strongest. And to brag that Blue has won all their games this season is silly. They padded themselves with games against pda south, pda white and Bethesda. Notice how they only play Penn Fusion and MF once? There was zero reason for blue to play south twice, other than to go after a guaranteed win both games. There is no reason why they should play Bethesda twice either. And to say Blue has no input on schedules is a lie. PDA is on the ECNL board, of course they have input. So before you brag about their undefeated season, consider the fact they are beating the teams at the bottom of the list. Not that impressive.

Keep in mind that the schedule and groups are created based on the 09 age group. Some of the other ages groups for Bethesda and MD United are really good. Blue is also undefeated in 8 showcase games. What’s the excuse there? Even professional teams tie and lose games they should win. Don’t hold your breath for that downward spiral.

We have friends on blue. I hear from their parents that there is issues on the team. They tell me that there is tension among the players. They also think that certain starters are part of the problem. Thats what happens when you try to build the team around one player, who quite honestly, has not been the star she once was. Blue could suffer their first lost when they face Penn Fusion, and it could be a second when they face MF.

You don’t know this team if you think there is tension among the players. Where does your kid play?
