Anyone know why FA still so celebrated after getting smoked in their own tournaments this winter?

Because Football Academy are the top/one of the top few teams at this age and people respect them. There are a few other top teams that can play level with them too, hence them losing their own tournament. Union, on the other hand, is not respected because they play dirty, not physical, and they have temper tantrums if teams play even with them, or beat them. They act like a bunch of spoiled brats not getting there way. Its ugly and embarrassing. Pretty bad perception about that Union team, which is sad because they have some talent and can play, when not acting out..

Getting smoked at their own tournament is a stretch though....

Wow, that is a pretty spot on assessment of Union. There is a reason nobody in the leave will scrimmage them.

It's more like they won't scrimmage any of the top teams because they will lose and won't have any heavily edited video to post on social media.

There's a reason why Union didn't bother competing in the FA tournaments in the winter. They hide from teams that expose the team they really are.

Absolutely right. Poor choice of words my bad.

real question

Why does there appear to be a disproportionate amount of people in the 2011's thread. I realize that EDP not reporting scores is part of it, but is there something more to it?

Does the class of 2011 in NJ seem to have a higher level of competition? A lot of teams seem to be playing up successfully, anyone opinions (stupid question here I guess)?

There seems to be a lot of talent in this age group. Many successful teams..

Not any different than any other age group, a true 2011 team can't hang with a top 2010 team. What you see are the results of 2011 teams against B 2010 teams. A year of age difference is too much at this age. Size and athleticism wins every time.

BC you have crazy parents that spend waaay too much time on this board. It has nothing to do with the players and kids. Also not sure how you can rank a team playing 9v9 against teams that play 7v7. Apples and oranges.

Mark my words...Valencia’s 2011’s will be steamrolling State Cup this year. Bet on it.

At what age? They are going to "steamroll" playing up a year? The 2011 team is too young for state cup this spring.... it starts at U11. Also, they finished 3rd in their Central Jersey EDP Futures flight in the fall, but they are going to steamroll everyone?
