It looked like a Westside Copa reunion with 7 of their players there -

Oh no, I didn't say it was unbiased. I said he selected this player because he sees through the attitude junk and knows there is way more.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

It sounds as if there were some jealousy and chemistry issues with that Copa team. Maybe this accounted for the collapse at the end of the fall, and the inability to win the big game.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

#10(Ruben) maybe but the rest not even close. I do like the attempt to just throw out numbers though. Remember these kids have played against and with each other and people know who they are. I will not mention any others by name as to not speak of any specific kids in a negative manner...Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

I can assure you that there were few jealousy or chemistry issues. I mean, maybe the 2nd string keeper wasn't thrilled that the 1st string keeper came in the 11th hour and took his spot. Aside from that, there was nothing but support and respect amongst the players. Like every team, there may have been some playing time issues, or questioning what's fair. In all honesty though, it was a very solid team, filled with boys who had great chemistry and geniune kindness for each other. Truly one of the bets teams. It's so easy to say that's why performance failed. That's not why and I am not about to mention it on this board.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Number 10 without question. The rest are better too, but agreed that it's totally inappropriate to say anything bad about any of these kids. Best to just leave it alone from this point forward. All are very good and respectable players.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Just want to make sure y'all saw this. While the 2005's failed, WT continues to dominate overall. Can't deny it, fight it or sell it any different. Go WT!

1) Other than recognizing players who have great achievements--such as the two players who got to go to Dallas--discussions of who is better than whom in this forum are inappropriate. They are not appropriate coming from other team's parents (especially if it's a former Westside parent looking to cause trouble--not saying it is, but some of y'all seem to know a LOT about Copa, if you catch my drift). And they are especially not appropriate coming from parents on the team. This sort of sh!t can destroy a soccer team. This is a concern for the coaches.
2) As noted above--coaches and parents and other observers may disagree on what makes a player good. Jaime likes technically-skilled players; and that's actually not a bad policy to go by with this age group. Technique is best developed at this age, higher cognitive parts of the game can be learned later, and athletic ability pre-puberty is a crapshoot. Many other coaches disagree--preferring big and strong players, or players who are skilled passers at this age. That said--the field gets bigger next year, and I can think of a few kids in OYSA (both on Copa and elsewhere) who might have trouble adjusting to the 11v11 game.Comment
