NJ Force Crush --- One good tournament --- Do not push too early in spring...I've seen you team play several times...good team...You team was only average late in Fall season. Have you picked up a few new players?
You people need to relax.Its the beginning of the season.Some teams are better prepared then others.If you are saying thats all they added to that team was 2 lynx players.The team got worse not better.If they are still beating teams up 7-1 in 2 weeks I will eat my words.But you can't judge a team on a tourney in the beginning of the spring season after a long winter!
More trolling & stupidity .why do all you fall to the nonsense here..take the high ground ..one more false statement, trouble maker post above check pDa score at Manahatan if you don t think they might hold down score line.
Charlotte locked into the final w/an 11 point lead. Cleveland can join them with at least a one goal tie. Americans and Bucks still with a chance. Force a disappointment in the 4th flight. Crush continues to disappoint also. As always, Brick competes.
Brick steady with a win and a tie, should make the semi’s (my prediction) SJEB over Baltimore bays, 4-2 SJEB over Select Riley 1-0 Looks good for SJEB, after the loss to NJ Force Crush at last weekend tournament.
NJ Crush in a lower bracket and is struggling with 2 loss's.
Did anyone notice a NJ Wildcate player was playing with IGFA in 8v8on Saturday. I guess the pounding lthey took ast week has them looking for a new team.
10:22 your answer to the question is:they only have 11 players rostered...the sub was a guest player. And....Did the Force Crush open any envelopes after the final game? Inquiring minds want to know!
The other good NJ teams were not there. If the Splash isn't there it doesn't matter. They are the ONLY team in NJ that matters. #1 team in the region. Every other team are just pretenders. Holla
Isn't this supposed to be about 12 year old kids getting better and learning? I was just browsing through the comments, and its simply amazing to see some if the ridiculous posts. Grow up people!! Let these kids grow up, learn, and have fun. Stop thinking your kid is going to be the next Mia Hamm. For those that are interested, the world cup is right around the corner. Maybe that will give you guys something to talk about.
Can we all just please admit that there really is only 1 team in region 1 that means anything. Yes they were not there this weekend at Jeff cup and i think you can all understand why. It wasn't worth the 5 hour drive. You can all make fun of us and say it's not worth it. But as you all lay in bed tonight after a long trip please understand it really is. It does feel good to be #1. Good luck trying to be like us. You NEVER will.
For the idiot making the comments and implications about the team you are no longer a part of, everyone knows it is you so you should stop embarrassing yourself. Move on. Your daughter is doing just fine.
Was at Jeff cup and saw some great games overall. The Jersey teams did well as did Manhattan. Congrats to Americans for making the finals and to Charlotte for winning it all. Watching some of these games was enjoyable and impressive. These kids play tough. I don't understand how anyone can bash any of these kids. Yes of course it's nice to win but you also have to look at the development of the player. Coming from a parent with multiple kids it's not all about the W. The Jersey teams held their own with teams from other parts of the country. They should all be happy.
We watched the games of both NJ teams in the top flight(Americans & STA). Congrats to both teams, who proved once again they're the top U12 teams in NJ.
The STA & American parents and coaches have worked very hard to develop the teams and should just ignore the trash that's been posted about their teams.
Erwin should be proud of bringing STA to this level. As for the Jeff Cup results, STA has nothing to be embarrassed for: they're the only team who tied Charlotte (the champions, who beat the Americans 3-0 in the final), they dominated against NYSC and just got unlucky in their first game.
STA parents will be making a mistake thinking there's a problem with the team and the coach, as some disgruntled parents of ex-STA players would like to suggest.
Does anyone think that NJ is becoming too diluted to consistently succeed at the national level, with all of the options people now have? I have seen all of the top NJ teams, and it seems that most of them have 3-4 top level players. Which makes for good but not great teams.
Forget Charlotte, how will NJ stack up against the powerhouses from places like Texas and California?
How do the best NJ teams in older groups stack up against them now? Is there any history to answer your question for you. What NJ clubs play against them to draw a comparison?
Historically, Region 1 has done well at the National scene. Va, MD, PA and NJ have had recent National Champions in many age groups. At this age, excel in your state and reach across close state lines. Prepare the players/parents for serious travel at u-13, but be the best you can locally and Regionally.
Add a player or two per season to the 6-8 core current players. Keep the numbers down now to get max playing time and one on one (individual)training.
Increase roster to 16-18 at u-13 for travel and team revenue.
Very good perspective post 8:01pm. NJ has a lot of very good U-12 teams that we hope will still represent NJ well at U-13 & beyond so lets support these teams as most States in the Region have 2 at the most playing at high level where NJ has 5-6.
I think in New Jersey, though we have about ten teams that are competing well, the better players will still leave one of the temn to go to another of the ten, looking for a better chance to win.
Read: The top 4, maybe 5 NJ clubs will get girls at their tryouts from the #6-10 type clubs, as well as from the town team pool.
So the fact that there are TEN and not just FIVE clubs representing NJ in interstate play, I think is not a negative moving forward.
Bottom line is if you are bashing U12 girls you have an issue with the coach or were once a player on the team. I give all these girls a lot of credit for what they do. Some of these kids are on the fields for hours a week not to mention the time in the car travelling to practices or games. Stop the BS and sit back and enjoy the game. The older they get the better the games will be.
Prediction for today’s 3:30 pm 3-20-13 State Cup game.... Brick Fury- 2 Toms River Revolutions -0 I am not a parent of either team, I am just watching the progression of the State Cup.
Sharks play Wall tomorrow night in Jackson. Attack has a bye into the next round. Imagine if Wall beats the Sharks, LC will not be able to handle it. They have a decent draw if they get by Wall with PDA Hornets & Mt. Olive in it where neither is impressive so Sharks could have a chance if they can play smart & not Mommy-ball. Attack vs Freehold in the 2nd round is interesting as both play at the same level of understanding & skills.
Wall could beat the Sharks,just as TR could beat Brick,it is still early in the season. You know how the game goes,sometimes girls just don't show up to play for whatever reason.Nothing you can do about it, just enjoy the game.
I was wondering if that date was right for a 3:30 game TRIC vs Brick, I believe it will be a good game, better than most of you would think, but we will have to wait until April to find out. As for Jackson Sharks vs Wall, both are decent teams that play hard, i have seem both and beleive that Wall plays a better style than Jackson...good luck to both teams
Jackson Attack the smae level as Freehold...really? I saw both play at MSSL, not even close....once again the Attack parents are over rating their team, couldn't beat FC COPA....
Don't let that jerk bait you into their world, not worthy of a response...get a life and stop living through your daughter, your were never an athlete, you have no knowledge and it shows
Moron,jerk,stupid, We are backsliding....lets keep to The Marquess of Queensberry rules. lol. Come on Boys and Girls,all kidding aside lets clean it up.
My opinion is that Brick is not a 2nd or 3rd tier team, but a top team that can compete? MY opinion, but I think they have competed successfully with other top teams.
What are you talking about with the baiting and the athlete comments?
i agree with you, I was talking about the other person that made the original statement about 2nd or 3rd teir...step up and let us know who you are, and if you are credable or not....
I seen all these teams play.Most of these teams can beat the other.From the last flight to the first flight.They are all somewhat close.The only team that stands out is PDA Splash.The other two pda teams are the same as the rest.
Brick will beat Jackson. They play better kick ball. Watched the Attack play against Copa last tourney. The team has no offense piss poor mid-field and a really strong defence. The keeper seems like she has a few screws loose. The team seems to have some pretty big girls which they use very well. It was interesting to watch their mid fielders collapse during the game. Also the coach seems like nut case he must be the dad of the keeper they say insanity runs in the family. I think the Sharks have a good chance to go far if they win their first game. But let's face it PDA is still the best team in the tourney.
That Shark parent probably means Freehold not Brick. Just shows you the level of stupidity there is in Jackson. If you are going to comment at least get your facts straight. My guess is it is one of the Shark parents whose kid guests with the Middletown team.
Agreed I believe the Sharks parent is talking about a possible 2nd round match-up of Freehold's kickball team vs Attack's kickball team. Freehold should win a close one. Shark parents are always on here jealous of everyone because they buy into what they are selling there & feel like they don't get respect & they can't understand it. Sharks can't get over the 4-0 beating they took @ their low level tournament in the Fall. Sharks should worry about getting past Wall tonight.
That has to be a joke! They don't get good coaching or training & don't do any high level expensive tournaments so there is no way they are charging people. If anything they should be paying people to stay on the team so they don't leave again.
She should have cut the ties a long time ago as her skills are diminishing & the game is passing her by because she never received good coaching & training to help make her a complete player. That window is closing but Mommy won't let go, sad for the player.
So it NOT ok for LC to coach her daughters team even though she has a proven track record and history of success, BUT it IS ok for pda to have Daddy coaches? some without coaching cards.
But I played once in college at .... but I missed the team picture day.
I happened to check out the U11 blog recently, and 2:53 is posting similar PDA comments there and according to them on every age group blog. They thought he was the disgruntled former PDA dad that thought his kid was too good to play age-appropriate. She left and is playing up on U12 NJ Crush Storm. Sounds like he is sorry he made that move. Just sayin'.
Post 2:53pm where is this proven track record of success? She never even had the best team in MOSA. She hasn't won a tournament anywhere that had top tyeams in it or even gets accepted & if she does it's in the 4th flight. She has sold you a bill of goods. Do some research & you'll see there isn't alot success anywhere.
Sharks are in the 3rd flight & the Attack are in the 4th flight. Just saying. That sounds about right I guess? Don't know why a B-team from a town club would be in this tournament & accepted? Next Freehold will have their B-team here. 3rd flight has besides the Sharks & Freehold, Mt. Olive & NJ Force so guess you know what PDA thinks of these teams. PDA Madrid is also in this flight yikes!!!
Are we talking about 19 on Attack, who is she? I did not think anyone really stood out on the team, they play like a bunch of robots who have been told to kick and run.
Hmmm....Force Crush loses all games at Jeff Cup in 4th flight and somehow the bashing turns to the Sharks..... Sounds like the deflectors, not to mention the trolls are out in FORCE....pun intended! Hahahahaha!
Could there be a weaker flight at Baltimore tourney? 2 MD teams with no Got Soccer pts, Jackson Sharks & STA B-team. They shouldn't award any pts for this disaster. Sharks couldn't get into Jeff Cup so they have to settle for much lower competition yet she has a history of success???
How do you know if your kid is being developed? Uh, I don't know. Can she take someone on consistanlty 1v1 with confidence, or does she just push the ball by the last defender, basically a pass to herself, and can use her size and speed, get to the ball first.
Talk to me an a few years, and let me know what you think about all of the defenders that are just as big and fast. What then? It happens all the time at the levels we are talking about. Do not rely on speed. Defenders are usually the best players on a team. No one hides average players on defense! Why? Becuase an offensive mistake means no goal scored. A defensive mistake can be the difference between winnning or losing.
At this stage there are teams that you may still blow out, but if your child is good and plays for a good team, regardless of league, (ECNL, EDP, Region 1) blowouts just do not happen! Most games are decided by a goal, maybe two. The best technical/ tactical team may not always win. That is soccer. Believe me, your team is practicing tactics, more then technique, which Helps with winning, thus, drawing more players to their club.
Your kid should train more than 2x per week, as every one is fast and big on the top teams at u14-16.
What will set your daughter appart? Creativity, tedhnique, etc.
You will not come across many slow defemder in the top leagues at U13 and above. Technique , technique
NO JERK OFFS, SHARKS WON AND ARE MOVING ON TO ROUND 2 YOU BUNCH OF KOOLAID DRINKING ACADEMY SCUM BAGS..... YAAAAA BOOYYYYYYY!!!!! ROUND 2 HERE WE COME!!!!
I watched my daughter's team play last night in Jackson against the Sharks, it was a good game, but to honest the better team on the field last night did not walk away with the win. I am not making the statement that the Sharks are not a good team. This is what makes the beautiful game unique, often the team they gets the better of play during a game doesn't always get the result. It was interesting to see a ref call for advantage play then blow the whistle after three completed passes when there was a loss of possession,(to give a second advantage and a direct free kick) not a very good ref. I don't visit this site often but when I do it normally provides some comic relief. So when I see a parent write in all CAPS and lead a post by calling people JO's, I just have to laugh. What are you thinking? What if a player came to the site and saw this?
Isn't it comical that people care some much about other teams and other clubs, spend that effort caring about your daughter and her team. Make sure that she has the best experience, I am sure she might be a little embarrassed if she saw how you represent yourself to the soccer community. Many of the posts on this site a awful. Many are fake and just trying to get a rise oout of you, and very often you take the bait.
Who's up next in the on deck circle? Force,PDA, STA,Jackson......Etc. What a bunch of PATHETIC LOSERS some of you are .....just a waste of a human heart.
I watched the game last night.Possesion was clearly in the wizzards favor.I also seen the awfull call on the free kick that allowed the sharks to win the game.I thought the game would go to PK,s.There were not many shots at all.And the refs were awfull.
Sharks went 0-2 losing 5-2 & 2-1 in Baltimore against 2 unranked teams yikes!!! STA B-team also didn't do well going 0-1-1 with a 1-1 & 4-0 loss. Today both play each other to see who doesn't come in last. Not representing NJ well!
Sharks beat STA B-team 2-1 to end bad weekend. STA couldn't even beat a badly coached & trained Jackson team that has been blown out a lot this season. 4-0 Attack, 5-0 NJ Crush, 4-0 STA A-team, 3-1 FSA Navy(CT), 4-1 New Hyde Park(NY) & 5-2 Waldorf(MD). STA cannot be that good yet they come on here talking their team up? Can't ne a good team & lose to a team like the Sharks.
Better than people think? They got a hometown call to beat Wall & got crushed this weekend & the players they got are the ones that left her & trashed the team then when they couldn't cut it they ran back & they took them back so can you say desperate?
If you havnt noticed over the years STA toots their own horn. every team is avgerage . Maybe a notch above travel. No great player at u12-u17 are ever going to STA. What do you get a bunch of European coach's wanting to experience our great country.
And sometimes someone's kid getting cut hurt the parent a wee bit more than the kid herself....especially if she's cut from a team that is "only a notch above travel"
PDA, STA and Jackson...3 clubs that genuinely have 2 teams in the top 25 in the state at U12. Everywhere else doesn't have a good 2nd team. These 3 if they stay in the top 25 by the time they are HS age will be going to all the showcases and being put on show for all the college coaches...and that is why it's worth it.
Most clubs only have 1 team, these clubs have 2. Congrats to all players on both teams and enjoy it.
Jackson team is made up of kids that don't even live in Jackson so it's not going to help the H.S & top 25 means what? I would rather have a high level team then 2 average at best teams representing my Club.
Not saying its going to help HS, I said by the time they get to HS age if they are still in top 25 in NJ they will be getting showcased at all the best tournaments to be seen by college coaches...and thats what everyone strives for.
STA, PDA and Jackson right now have 35-40 kids over 2 teams that will be getting those opportunities in the future...other teams have 16-18 players that will have that.
We all know its not about your team...its about the tournaments you go to and how you perform as an individual for the college coaches, and teams in the top 20-25 in the state always go to the best tournaments when they are U15+.
This will be the sharks last season.It wont be a good one and the team will fold.LC will wind up in middletown.The team just doesnt have the talent.LC wont play second fiddle to the attack and will leave
Your talent in the area of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda really astounds many of the readers on this blog. Sure, you had a brief career back in the 1930-40’s (Pretty successful I might add,) but still that is no reason for you to come on this blog and disseminate false statements on eleven, twelve year old girls.
Ok, I understand you never had your dreams fulfilled back in the good old days and your feeling somewhat shallow right now, however, to give a boost to your ego I have a suggestion for you; I am told there is a vacancy in a small country in South America called Venezuela. Perhaps you may not get a job in government, but I’m sure you could get some good work as a travel guide, with the stories you could tell,and I also understand that they are fervent fans of soccer….. And that appears to be right up alley.
So, when you get down to Venezuela…be sure to send us all a post card. And be careful not to get to close to edge of Angel Falls! Have a good trip.

Exactly why people hate pda.
pda is going to ban bad comments about them. take your money and control. Must pay our fairshare.
2nd quarter fees are due for pda on April 1st.
Hey 1005, you forgot NJ Force Crush!
NJ Force Crush ---
One good tournament --- Do not push too early in spring...I've seen you team play several times...good team...You team was only average late in Fall season. Have you picked up a few new players?
Yeah
Two new players.
The two players that you picked up! Were they from the Lynx?
The force new players came from their B team that folded. They won't see much of the field.
If they keep beating team 7 - 1 they will see plenty of playing time.
You people need to relax.Its the beginning of the season.Some teams are better prepared then others.If you are saying thats all they added to that team was 2 lynx players.The team got worse not better.If they are still beating teams up 7-1 in 2 weeks I will eat my words.But you can't judge a team on a tourney in the beginning of the spring season after a long winter!
Beating a team by 7 goals means nothing,wait means coach is a A-holePDA would never beat a team by 7
More trolling & stupidity .why do all you fall to the nonsense here..take the high ground ..one more false statement, trouble maker
post above check pDa score at Manahatan if you don t think they might hold down score line.
10:24 look in the mirror, see biggest of them all
Hey 11:03 is that the best you can do.
We are rooting for you. A little better reportee.
All I'll say is in the Splash's last 8 games. 30 goals for and 3 against. Do the math.
Bow in the presence of greatness!!
NJ/PA/NY off to rough start at Jeff Cup. Losses for STA, NY Soccer, and FC Bucks.
Americans win!
Brick-Manhattan a scoreless draw.
Tough bracket draw- brick and manhattan in same group.
Charlotte locked into the final w/an 11 point lead.
Cleveland can join them with at least a one goal tie. Americans and Bucks still with a chance.
Force a disappointment in the 4th flight. Crush continues to disappoint also. As always, Brick competes.
Where are all the Force talkers?
Brick steady with a win and a tie, should make the semi’s (my prediction)
SJEB over Baltimore bays, 4-2
SJEB over Select Riley 1-0
Looks good for SJEB, after the loss to NJ Force Crush at last weekend tournament.
NJ Crush in a lower bracket and is struggling with 2 loss's.
hey I'm not a force talker but they are rated 2 in the state.
Guess, it will be a long ride home.
guess that means nothing!
What means nothing...the long ride home or that they are in second place in the state?
2nd in the state! dont make me laugh!
American's lose. They are another overrated team.
Lower brackets had some very competitive teams. To say the lower brackets are weaker would be ridiculous.
By the way, Force only had 1 sub.
When was the last time any of you parents stepped on a soccer field other than to watch us play.
Stop trash talking any U-12
girls team.
Any U-12 girls team can beat any group of U-12 parents.
Don't forget it.
We are tired of reading your childish posts.
Did you ever notice that force always has an excuse? Only one sub. What does that mean?
7:41
Crush STORM has TWO TIES, not 2 losses......
How about HUFC ? How will they do in the beginning of the season ?
Crush did in fact have 2 ties, in the THIRD flight down.
Did anyone notice a NJ Wildcate player was playing with IGFA in 8v8on Saturday. I guess the pounding lthey took ast week has them looking for a new team.
NJ Force just got CRUSHED again 2-0 it will be a long drive home!!!!
THAT'S AWESOME!
10:22 your answer to the question is:they only have 11 players rostered...the sub was a guest player.
And....Did the Force Crush open any envelopes after the final game?
Inquiring minds want to know!
There running out of envelopes, they barely have enough players to field a team..... LMAO!!!!!
Ameicans overrated? They were the only NJ team to make it to the finals!
What does that say for the other NJ teams.
The jerk is back. Once a jerk, always a jerk.
Which one?....my God, there are so many.
The other good NJ teams were not there. If the Splash isn't there it doesn't matter. They are the ONLY team in NJ that matters. #1 team in the region. Every other team are just pretenders. Holla
No Frrehold United, no Jackson Attack no Jackson Sharks. I guess he Jefferson Cup did not have all of the top NJ teams.
Nj teams still on 95 North. Long expensive trip. I am sure some parent will say they learned something.
Like losing 5 hours away. Jefferson Cup has never been kind to NJ.
Isn't this supposed to be about 12 year old kids getting better and learning? I was just browsing through the comments, and its simply amazing to see some if the ridiculous posts. Grow up people!! Let these kids grow up, learn, and have fun. Stop thinking your kid is going to be the next Mia Hamm. For those that are interested, the world cup is right around the corner. Maybe that will give you guys something to talk about.
post 6:57
Are you a crush parent?
Yes a long long trip. Talk about family time in a car after losing and driving 5 hours.
No, but you are a moron!!!
Can we all just please admit that there really is only 1 team in region 1 that means anything. Yes they were not there this weekend at Jeff cup and i think you can all understand why. It wasn't worth the 5 hour drive. You can all make fun of us and say it's not worth it. But as you all lay in bed tonight after a long trip please understand it really is. It does feel good to be #1. Good luck trying to be like us. You NEVER will.
STA looking for some new blood after another disappointing weekend.
For the idiot making the comments and implications about the team you are no longer a part of, everyone knows it is you so you should stop embarrassing yourself. Move on. Your daughter is doing just fine.
Was at Jeff cup and saw some great games overall. The Jersey teams did well as did Manhattan. Congrats to Americans for making the finals and to Charlotte for winning it all. Watching some of these games was enjoyable and impressive. These kids play tough. I don't understand how anyone can bash any of these kids. Yes of course it's nice to win but you also have to look at the development of the player. Coming from a parent with multiple kids it's not all about the W. The Jersey teams held their own with teams from other parts of the country. They should all be happy.
STA had poor showing. Refunds at next practice.
Like 10:07 poster said earlier....Move on. Find a place where your daughter can be happy and let go of the hate.
No refunds. Parents please bring checks for new fall fields.
PDA brackets out
We watched the games of both NJ teams in the top flight(Americans & STA). Congrats to both teams, who proved once again they're the top U12 teams in NJ.
The STA & American parents and coaches have worked very hard to develop the teams and should just ignore the trash that's been posted about their teams.
STA should be embarrassed. Maybe a new coach would help. Something needs to happen over there.
Erwin should be proud of bringing STA to this level. As for the Jeff Cup results, STA has nothing to be embarrassed for: they're the only team who tied Charlotte (the champions, who beat the Americans 3-0 in the final), they dominated against NYSC and just got unlucky in their first game.
STA parents will be making a mistake thinking there's a problem with the team and the coach, as some disgruntled parents of ex-STA players would like to suggest.
The phone lines were very busy yesterday. Lets see who does not show up for practice Tuesday evening.
1:46 shows the folly in reading scores and thinking they know what transpired.
Agree with the 2:15pm. Erwin is a great coach and a pro.
Notice how PDA ducked Jeff Cup.
Didn't want to risk their reputation against some tough Carolina or southern teams!
PDA usually does not play Jeff Cup. An unbiased committee has to seed them in flights, and in the past has not seeded pda clubs in top brackets.
Now who is whining????
I think at least a couple of the winning teams from the Jeff Cup are with ECNL clubs, so they will be playing them soon enough.
PDA can be accused of many things, but ducking competition is not one them.
lol just look at their own tourney? all age brackets, a scam
Does anyone think that NJ is becoming too diluted to consistently succeed at the national level, with all of the options people now have? I have seen all of the top NJ teams, and it seems that most of them have 3-4 top level players. Which makes for good but not great teams.
Forget Charlotte, how will NJ stack up against the powerhouses from places like Texas and California?
PDA = Propoganda Doth Argue
5:24
Please explain. For the U12 age group.
How do the best NJ teams in older groups stack up against them now? Is there any history to answer your question for you. What NJ clubs play against them to draw a comparison?
Historically, Region 1 has done well at the National scene. Va, MD, PA and NJ have had recent National Champions in many age groups. At this age, excel in your state and reach across close state lines. Prepare the players/parents for serious travel at u-13, but be the best you can locally and Regionally.
Add a player or two per season to the 6-8 core current players. Keep the numbers down now to get max playing time and one on one (individual)training.
Increase roster to 16-18 at u-13 for travel and team revenue.
Very good perspective post 8:01pm. NJ has a lot of very good U-12 teams that we hope will still represent NJ well at U-13 & beyond so lets support these teams as most States in the Region have 2 at the most playing at high level where NJ has 5-6.
5:35
I think in New Jersey, though we have about ten teams that are competing well, the better players will still leave one of the temn to go to another of the ten, looking for a better chance to win.
Read: The top 4, maybe 5 NJ clubs will get girls at their tryouts from the #6-10 type clubs, as well as from the town team pool.
So the fact that there are TEN and not just FIVE clubs representing NJ in interstate play, I think is not a negative moving forward.
Bottom line is if you are bashing U12 girls you have an issue with the coach or were once a player on the team. I give all these girls a lot of credit for what they do. Some of these kids are on the fields for hours a week not to mention the time in the car travelling to practices or games. Stop the BS and sit back and enjoy the game. The older they get the better the games will be.
Absolutely no reason to have more then 18 players on roster. playing 11v11, more like 16, anything over is revenue generating.
Prediction for today’s 3:30 pm
3-20-13 State Cup game....
Brick Fury- 2
Toms River Revolutions -0
I am not a parent of either team,
I am just watching the progression of the State Cup.
Goes to pk's Brick pulls it out. Nice match
Upset coming
They're playing cup games on Wednesdays?
4-20-13.... I see....
Hope they report early....
I would go watch the game but....I gotta work! :-(
One of the Jackson teams
(Attack or Sharks)
have a State Cup game tomorrow at Jackson.
Anybody know of any other games feel free to post.
upset!! Who sasid upset? Your saying Tr over Brick? Hummm...there is a man with a vison. LOL LOL
No malace intended,just some good hearted ribbing.
Toms River has bulked up. Watch out.
That game is a tough one to call.
Brick has lost some steam the last season. I'm curious to see what Toms River can bring.
Brick has played well this season at both Manhattan and Jeff Cup. Not always pretty, but effective.
Sharks play Wall tomorrow night in Jackson. Attack has a bye into the next round. Imagine if Wall beats the Sharks, LC will not be able to handle it. They have a decent draw if they get by Wall with PDA Hornets & Mt. Olive in it where neither is impressive so Sharks could have a chance if they can play smart & not Mommy-ball. Attack vs Freehold in the 2nd round is interesting as both play at the same level of understanding & skills.
If anyone is going to the Brick,TR game, be kind enough to report the score.
Wall could beat the Sharks,just as TR could beat Brick,it is still early in the season.
You know how the game goes,sometimes girls just don't show up to play for whatever reason.Nothing you can do about it, just enjoy the game.
1:24 - that game is in April. The initial date was reported wrong
Agreed. 1:38
Hope everyone see the correction on the Brick, TR, game .............or you will be showing up for one of their practices.
I was wondering if that date was right for a 3:30 game TRIC vs Brick, I believe it will be a good game, better than most of you would think, but we will have to wait until April to find out. As for Jackson Sharks vs Wall, both are decent teams that play hard, i have seem both and beleive that Wall plays a better style than Jackson...good luck to both teams
Jackson Attack the smae level as Freehold...really? I saw both play at MSSL, not even close....once again the Attack parents are over rating their team, couldn't beat FC COPA....
What's with all the talk about 2nd and 3rd teir teams?
You think Brick is a 2nd or 3rd TIER team? I'm sure your daughter is in the 1st tier. ha ha ha
Last time I checked Brick was ranked #6. That's a top tier to me.
Don't let that jerk bait you into their world, not worthy of a response...get a life and stop living through your daughter, your were never an athlete, you have no knowledge and it shows
"your were never an athlete, you have no knowledge and it shows"
So wrong. So stupid of you. You have no idea how wrong you are.
Then sign you post and we will all get to know who you are...
Moron,jerk,stupid,
We are backsliding....lets keep to The Marquess of Queensberry rules.
lol.
Come on Boys and Girls,all kidding aside lets clean it up.
I'm poster 2:40
What are you talking about 2:52??
My opinion is that Brick is not a 2nd or 3rd tier team, but a top team that can compete? MY opinion, but I think they have competed successfully with other top teams.
What are you talking about with the baiting and the athlete comments?
i agree with you, I was talking about the other person that made the original statement about 2nd or 3rd teir...step up and let us know who you are, and if you are credable or not....
Sorry my bad....thought you were talking to me 3:51
Can't we all, just get along?
First everyone needs some serious spelling lessons.
Abbott and Costello
Who's on first?
Who's on second?
What's on second.
If we could just get that great athlete who doesnt sit with the other parents on his team to be quiet all would be well.
All your points from 2nd tier brackets When you play top tier No points..... Just the facts.....so relax and enjoy the games
I seen all these teams play.Most of these teams can beat the other.From the last flight to the first flight.They are all somewhat close.The only team that stands out is PDA Splash.The other two pda teams are the same as the rest.
By the way its not a "state cup game". Its "us club cup" which is different
Pda stands out for highest priced club team in NJ
Ocean county strikes again,all you teams should start the White Trash soccer academy then you can be in 1st tier
Brick will beat Jackson. They play better kick ball. Watched the Attack play against Copa last tourney. The team has no offense piss poor mid-field and a really strong defence. The keeper seems like she has a few screws loose. The team seems to have some pretty big girls which they use very well. It was interesting to watch their mid fielders collapse during the game. Also the coach seems like nut case he must be the dad of the keeper they say insanity runs in the family. I think the Sharks have a good chance to go far if they win their first game. But let's face it PDA is still the best team in the tourney.
When does Brick play Jackson? fool.
11:20 post must be a shark parent!
That Shark parent probably means Freehold not Brick. Just shows you the level of stupidity there is in Jackson. If you are going to comment at least get your facts straight. My guess is it is one of the Shark parents whose kid guests with the Middletown team.
STA highest fees.
Agreed I believe the Sharks parent is talking about a possible 2nd round match-up of Freehold's kickball team vs Attack's kickball team. Freehold should win a close one. Shark parents are always on here jealous of everyone because they buy into what they are selling there & feel like they don't get respect & they can't understand it. Sharks can't get over the 4-0 beating they took @ their low level tournament in the Fall. Sharks should worry about getting past Wall tonight.
Heard sharks are asking $2000 per year. Sounds very high for a team with a volunteer coach.
That has to be a joke! They don't get good coaching or training & don't do any high level expensive tournaments so there is no way they are charging people. If anything they should be paying people to stay on the team so they don't leave again.
This will most likely be the last season for the Sharks as the Attack have arrived!!! Attack will beat Freehold.
Attack is a good team. A must season for them as well.
A must for what?Its only u12.Its all about developement.
but how do u know if you're truly being developed?
High shark fee is probably to cover the cost of LCs toms river crew.
Attack have not arrived. As soon as 19 realizes she shold play for a better team they are done.
I thought 19 was LC's daughter? I don't think she will be going too far when her mom is the coach.
She should have cut the ties a long time ago as her skills are diminishing & the game is passing her by because she never received good coaching & training to help make her a complete player. That window is closing but Mommy won't let go, sad for the player.
So it NOT ok for LC to coach her daughters team even though she has a proven track record and history of success, BUT it IS ok for pda to have Daddy coaches? some without coaching cards.
But I played once in college at ....
but I missed the team picture day.
Is Jsckson going the acadamy route?
$2000 that is a big hit, but no more tagging.
I happened to check out the U11 blog recently, and 2:53 is posting similar PDA comments there and according to them on every age group blog. They thought he was the disgruntled former PDA dad that thought his kid was too good to play age-appropriate. She left and is playing up on U12 NJ Crush Storm. Sounds like he is sorry he made that move. Just sayin'.
Boy, the trolls are out early this season.
Post 2:53pm where is this proven track record of success? She never even had the best team in MOSA. She hasn't won a tournament anywhere that had top tyeams in it or even gets accepted & if she does it's in the 4th flight. She has sold you a bill of goods. Do some research & you'll see there isn't alot success anywhere.
Sharks are in the 3rd flight & the Attack are in the 4th flight. Just saying. That sounds about right I guess? Don't know why a B-team from a town club would be in this tournament & accepted? Next Freehold will have their B-team here. 3rd flight has besides the Sharks & Freehold, Mt. Olive & NJ Force so guess you know what PDA thinks of these teams. PDA Madrid is also in this flight yikes!!!
Are we talking about 19 on Attack, who is she? I did not think anyone really stood out on the team, they play like a bunch of robots who have been told to kick and run.
Hmmm....Force Crush loses all games at Jeff Cup in 4th flight and somehow the bashing turns to the Sharks..... Sounds like the deflectors, not to mention the trolls are out in FORCE....pun intended! Hahahahaha!
Force and pda did poorly at Jeff,
Sharks have to drive to Baltimore just to try and get some got soccer points
all the flights dont make any sense!
PDA splash not at Jeff.cup. U11 storm playing up to develop against bigger, Stronger, faster girls to help them develop.
Could there be a weaker flight at Baltimore tourney? 2 MD teams with no Got Soccer pts, Jackson Sharks & STA B-team. They shouldn't award any pts for this disaster. Sharks couldn't get into Jeff Cup so they have to settle for much lower competition yet she has a history of success???
4:02 -
you didnt like his daughter, I take it
Sad, you are, to misrepresent this gentleman, who is obviously NOT the poster you mention.
No apology needed - just give it a rest.
All they need is freehold to join them.....
Jackson v wall??
To poster 4:02.
It sounds like a personal issue for you to assume such a thing.
I know he has the highest respect for the program and the parents of the former team. But probably not so much any more after I show him your post.
Way to go CM, you just destroyed an incredible amount of good will.
How do you know if your kid is being developed? Uh, I don't know. Can she take someone on consistanlty 1v1 with confidence, or does she just push the ball by the last defender, basically a pass to herself, and can use her size and speed, get to the ball first.
Talk to me an a few years, and let me know what you think about all of the defenders that are just as big and fast. What then? It happens all the time at the levels we are talking about. Do not rely on speed. Defenders are usually the best players on a team. No one hides average players on defense! Why? Becuase an offensive mistake means no goal scored. A defensive mistake can be the difference between winnning or losing.
At this stage there are teams that you may still blow out, but if your child is good and plays for a good team, regardless of league, (ECNL, EDP, Region 1) blowouts just do not happen! Most games are decided by a goal, maybe two. The best technical/ tactical team may not always win. That is soccer. Believe me, your team is practicing tactics, more then technique, which Helps with winning, thus, drawing more players to their club.
Your kid should train more than 2x per week, as every one is fast and big on the top teams at u14-16.
What will set your daughter appart? Creativity, tedhnique, etc.
You will not come across many slow defemder in the top leagues at U13 and above. Technique , technique
Quiet on here does that mean Jackson Sharks lost to Wall last night?
NO JERK OFFS, SHARKS WON AND ARE MOVING ON TO ROUND 2 YOU BUNCH OF KOOLAID DRINKING ACADEMY SCUM BAGS..... YAAAAA BOOYYYYYYY!!!!!
ROUND 2 HERE WE COME!!!!
Score? Congrats PDA Hornets are waiting for you!
Is there anything more embarassing then a Jackson parent? I feel bad for their kids. Jealous of the Academies because you're not here!
Letts make it clear.A jackson SHARK parent.
I watched my daughter's team play last night in Jackson against the Sharks, it was a good game, but to honest the better team on the field last night did not walk away with the win. I am not making the statement that the Sharks are not a good team. This is what makes the beautiful game unique, often the team they gets the better of play during a game doesn't always get the result. It was interesting to see a ref call for advantage play then blow the whistle after three completed passes when there was a loss of possession,(to give a second advantage and a direct free kick) not a very good ref. I don't visit this site often but when I do it normally provides some comic relief. So when I see a parent write in all CAPS and lead a post by calling people JO's, I just have to laugh. What are you thinking? What if a player came to the site and saw this?
Isn't it comical that people care some much about other teams and other clubs, spend that effort caring about your daughter and her team. Make sure that she has the best experience, I am sure she might be a little embarrassed if she saw how you represent yourself to the soccer community. Many of the posts on this site a awful. Many are fake and just trying to get a rise oout of you, and very often you take the bait.
Amen
Jackson refs are homers. They need all the help they can get when you see the coaches.
Who's up next in the on deck circle? Force,PDA, STA,Jackson......Etc. What a bunch of PATHETIC LOSERS some of you are .....just a waste of a human heart.
I watched the game last night.Possesion was clearly in the wizzards favor.I also seen the awfull call on the free kick that allowed the sharks to win the game.I thought the game would go to PK,s.There were not many shots at all.And the refs were awfull.
Welcome to Jackson.
You seen it, huh? Go pick some corn.
sure did!any other questions
This blog is many things to many people, and almost none of it is good.
Every once in a while you find a valuable nugget, but you have to sift through a ton of garbage!
Thanks for that great insight Mom.
Only a ton of garbage. You are being polite.
Matchfit could barely field 11 players? Looks like it didn't matter since they are in the ECNL now.
Anyone playing this weekend?
Jackson Sharks and STA B team are both playing in Baltimore madness tournament this weekend.
Match fit won't do much recruiting from those two teams. Unless they have a "c" team.
Sharks went 0-2 losing 5-2 & 2-1 in Baltimore against 2 unranked teams yikes!!! STA B-team also didn't do well going 0-1-1 with a 1-1 & 4-0 loss. Today both play each other to see who doesn't come in last. Not representing NJ well!
Sharks beat STA B-team 2-1 to end bad weekend. STA couldn't even beat a badly coached & trained Jackson team that has been blown out a lot this season. 4-0 Attack, 5-0 NJ Crush, 4-0 STA A-team, 3-1 FSA Navy(CT), 4-1 New Hyde Park(NY) & 5-2 Waldorf(MD). STA cannot be that good yet they come on here talking their team up? Can't ne a good team & lose to a team like the Sharks.
Sharks are better than people think...2 girls from Force Crush have gone back there this winter
Better than people think? They got a hometown call to beat Wall & got crushed this weekend & the players they got are the ones that left her & trashed the team then when they couldn't cut it they ran back & they took them back so can you say desperate?
If you havnt noticed over the years STA toots their own horn. every team is avgerage . Maybe a notch above travel. No great player at u12-u17 are ever going to STA. What do you get a bunch of European coach's wanting to experience our great country.
Ah, I see the STA hater is back.
As sergeant Friday would say only the truth ma'am. sometimes the truth hurts.
And sometimes someone's kid getting cut hurt the parent a wee bit more than the kid herself....especially if she's cut from a team that is "only a notch above travel"
No one gets cut from STA they just makes"a", "b" "c" teams and get the parents $$$$.
So you must have REALLY pissed them off then. It all makes sense then. Have fun getting cut from your next team.
PDA, STA and Jackson...3 clubs that genuinely have 2 teams in the top 25 in the state at U12. Everywhere else doesn't have a good 2nd team. These 3 if they stay in the top 25 by the time they are HS age will be going to all the showcases and being put on show for all the college coaches...and that is why it's worth it.
Most clubs only have 1 team, these clubs have 2. Congrats to all players on both teams and enjoy it.
I heard some shark players contacting the attack.Guess some people are never happy!
Quality not quantity. Unless your STA than than its quantity equals $$$$
7:58 - I totally agree.
Jackson team is made up of kids that don't even live in Jackson so it's not going to help the H.S & top 25 means what? I would rather have a high level team then 2 average at best teams representing my Club.
STA - poor showing, well below expectations. Thought there was more there there.
As written before STA all talk no substance.
Every team has a bad weekend! Remember they are only 12.
7.58 I also completely agree!
Not saying its going to help HS, I said by the time they get to HS age if they are still in top 25 in NJ they will be getting showcased at all the best tournaments to be seen by college coaches...and thats what everyone strives for.
STA, PDA and Jackson right now have 35-40 kids over 2 teams that will be getting those opportunities in the future...other teams have 16-18 players that will have that.
We all know its not about your team...its about the tournaments you go to and how you perform as an individual for the college coaches, and teams in the top 20-25 in the state always go to the best tournaments when they are U15+.
This will be the sharks last season.It wont be a good one and the team will fold.LC will wind up in middletown.The team just doesnt have the talent.LC wont play second fiddle to the attack and will leave
Dear Mr. Joseph Goebbels,
Your talent in the area of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda really astounds many of the readers on this blog. Sure, you had a brief career back in the 1930-40’s
(Pretty successful I might add,) but still that is no reason for you to come on this blog and disseminate false statements on eleven, twelve year old girls.
Ok, I understand you never had your dreams fulfilled back in the good old days and your feeling somewhat shallow right now, however, to give a boost to your ego I have a suggestion for you; I am told there is a vacancy in a small country in South America called Venezuela. Perhaps you may not get a job in government, but I’m sure you could get some good work as a travel guide, with the stories you could tell,and I also understand that they are fervent fans of soccer….. And that appears to be right up alley.
So, when you get down to Venezuela…be sure to send us all a post card.
And be careful not to get to close to edge of Angel Falls! Have a good trip.
Yours truly,
The Monitor
What to do if your on STA?
go to B team which always wins in practices
Jackson high price post is probably real. They are now linked to NJSA 04.
PDA kickoff in less than 2 weeks. Any predictions? How will the Jersey teams fare?
6:50..... Not even close. I know, but dont take my word for it. Go ask a parent of a player or one of the coaches.
It's on the NJSA website. Maybe someone else should be talking to the coaches and parents.
Best way to ask:
# of PDA teams in final = ....
# of non PDA Jersey teams in final = ........
19 divisions
I'll say 4 of each
I love how 12:33 parent grouping Jackson with PDA and STA. Good try!
Why even mention STA ? Half the team is leaving after this season.
