Yes, totally true that it was Bill not Martin that hurt his ACL celebrating.

The point is...

Boys playing soccer are a bunch of sissies.... Play a real mans sport like hockey or football...

And my 5'-10" 165lbs boy would kick the S H I T out of MG's little sissy A S S Valderrama look a like.

Florida Premier has been playing fast and loose with the facts for the past year. It's easy to fool a lot of those families up in Pasco but FP underestimates the number of families that actually understand how youth soccer fits together.

Agreed.

The billions of people around the world would disagree with your assessment.

Not really. Hockey is revered for its brutality and tough guy sh1t throughout the world.

Billions may disagree which sport is better but even the big time soccer fans struggle to really think that its more "tough-guy" or macho than hockey (leaving american football out of the argument here because a lot of the world just rolls their eyes at it in general).

Soccer you bump someone to hard and its foul and you get a card... in hockey you bump someone too hard and they pull the 6-5 toothless russian ogre off the bench to beat the sh1t out of you as a reminder to not do that.

i love both sports but no on that one

You live in your own little bubble & watch sports that wear protective clothing & helmets so they don't get a boo boo.Sure they'd insist on wearing these protective clothes for Rugby & Aussie rules also.On a side note girls don't wear helmets either when they play Rounders.Known in the US as a Man's sport called Baseball.

Not fan of FP, but they got my respect once they fired MG, really really bad coach...actually dude never played soccer in his life, but his ego is bigger then Mourinho's...

Come tryout and make the One Club, One Family...only to be placed on the FCL1 team, we will take any and all comers, especially TBU kids that don't make the ECNL or ECNL-R teams.

Didn't Florida premier take over Wesley chapel also?

One club one family

Kinda like their tryouts - who wants to be in 2nd team when can be on first at Rangers or Clearwater or 2nd team at TBU - who actually does have girls ECNL (unlike Premier that only has ECNL-R despite false advertising)

Let me see if I understand this. It is your suggestion that it is better to be on a TBU second team (ECNLR) than an FP first team (ECNLR) even when the FP first teams routinely beat ECNL/GAL teams and get invited to ECNL showcase tournaments. Not sure I follow your logic there.

How about this instead. Go to the team where you think your kid will get the best coaching and be at a level that is neither above or below them. Balance the commute with the league access. Then, enjoy the ride.

Sporting Tampa Bay (Wesley Chapel) has not been taken over by Premier. It seems like they are the last club left that is not owned by FP.

Here are the deets: SC former DOC at Sporting (Chapel) announced days before tryouts that he he is starting RADD FC/Premier a few miles away. Some of the coaches who left took their teams with them.

It was a stab in the heart for a lot of these kids, it's shameful that the facility RADD runs is paid for by taxpayer money (true) and the first thing they do is decimate a long standing small club that is part of the community. Kids are crushed as they are trying out for FP as a back up plan.

Most parents not associated with coaches who left are not falling for the bait. RADD has two fields, no lights and shat on the kids.

Not good optics, but who cares when $$$$ is rolling in.

Blame Sporting for its poor decisions and mismanagement. They were the bigger club 5 years ago. They had no vision or work ethic and were too arrogant to realize it. Do they still get TBUs ecnl regional slots or did that plan not save the club after all?

When you say "they" who are you talking about? Because half of "they" left.
