2011 Boys

[Guest]

Union parents are usually very vocal on this site. What do they have to say about the game?

Congratulations on the win! On to the next game.

Bloomfield is just this years Liverpool. Get the ball to the one big CM and everyone else get out of the way. In this case he is more athletic than anyone else.

the coaches are absolute clowns and aren’t taken seriously by any other respectable club.

The Bloomfield players are not any bigger or more athletic than any of the other teams players. Coaches seem good to me.

Yes, Its just a matter of time as the clubs like BB, LFCNJ, and AS Junior that have no access to MLS Next, ECNL even NE Academy and USL A lose players. and just a matter of time when the players that are bigger, stronger and skilled now won't be able to play the same way at 14-16 years old.

So the players that are small , weak and not skilled will take over at the age of 14-16 … I will rephrase your sentence that not all players turn out the way people think they will. Some will flop and some will succeed. You can’t put everyone in the same circle.

11 v 11 will be a massive transition, the slow, small weak players won't be able to keep up.

Bergen and RD South smash most teams dont they? They also have like 3 full teams of players to choose from, so that is an advantage. You got to give it up to a town team doing well. they have to be doing something right.

Red Bull’s pretty much leave their 3 teams intact. Not to much Interchanging, unless they are in need of players. They will add kids for tournaments as needed. Red Bull’s South just beat Morris Elite at their place like 12 to 2 with 9 players.... no one came from the other teams.

CSA Bergen put their 2011 A reserves and 2010 bench players vs Union this weekend and smoked them. Bergen A has too many kids but not too many get to play with the A team so they play up with the 2010 B teams for Bergen and North.

LOL are you lost, ignorant or maybe don't watch soccer outside the EPL or NJ Youth Soccer - Spain national team won 35 straigth matches 2008 Euros/2010 World Cup/2012 Euros and the average height was 5'9" and not a single player would've won a footrace on their club team. Messi took growth hormones to reach a height of 5'7".

Please don't compare an elite professional soccer team to US youth township travel teams lol Yes they were smaller players but they were top level athletes with ridiculously fitness and an IQ that your kid isn't going to learn in their team regardless of what your cozch is promising. The bigger and faster boys will prevail in the US soccer system like it or not.

wrong again in every way - the point was that "slow and small players won't keep up" - you are grouping players that are not physically dominiant early on together and writing them off - an attitude and assumption that gets proven wrong every single year on every level. "the bigger boys will prevail" that truly sounds like a "wow great kick Billy!" sideline yell - Tab Ramos-Landon Donovan-Pulisic are some of the best most skilled US players in the last 30 years they aren't towers of power.

I 100% agree with you that height does not matter and whatever the other person said is irrelevant stuff.... But, the Spanish team that you are talking about had a starting lineup for the world cup Final in 2010 with 6 of their 11 players at 6' or taller and 1 of the 3 subs used over 6'. 50% of the 14 players used were over 6'. It wasn't a team of 5'4 guys running around. Casillas is 6', Pique is 6'4", Ramos is 6', Capdevil is 6', Busquets is 6' 2", Xabi is 6' and Torres is 6'1".

Pulisic is lightning fast lol and he was developed in Germany so I think you are agreeing with me. I am not writting them off, the US youth clubs will, they don't give a rat's ass about developing. So the larger faster kids will be the ones in the spotlight. So the small, slow kids will have a lot of trouble when they transition to 11 v 11 and those are facts.

Red Bulls in the mix for a new training facility in Morris County:

I would figure NYRB is losing money and wouldn't want the added construction debt, but here we are.
This could be media leverage by NYRB for other reasons, who knows? But I will believe it when the shovels go in the ground.
Maybe this training facility will have a something like a shed or treehouse 2-3 miles away that parents can watch games vs NYRB Academy teams.

They aren't "in the mix". They are getting land use approvals now through the township. This is a huge investment into an already high dollar academy system. This training facility will have dorms for a reason. Red Bull is looking to mine the continent for soccer talent to feed into their global system.

All MLS teams are going to have to have a residency academy at some point. I’m guessing they are going to try and pay for it with selling off players, like they did with Miazga. It’s no coincidence that they are rushing players through the system.

They want to get them signed before 16yrs old and they choose to go to college. If your kid wants to go to private HS or college don’t even bother trying out.
