Cosmos beat NYSC 04 2-0

great!!! this is an 07 thread

EMSC and LISC will prove to be 2 strongest girls 07 teams 2019/20

I'll go with Clarkstown 2-1. Can't argue the talent on both teams, should be a great game. Just seems like Clarkstown finds a way to win these close games. But that's about the only advantage I'm giving them.

NYSC 04 win 4-2

Back with 04 comments on an 07 thread?

LOL that’s funny stuff!

There is no way Clarkstown loses, whether they are folding or not they are still the best team in New York.

the 04 team only wins by 2?? wow... maybe playing on the small field kills their 3 year age advantage

Who won cup final?

Tubby the troll please stop. Lol

Why would Clarkstown fold? They have the best trainer around. They are also if not the best team in the country one of the top three.

Welp, if there’s a recording of this game somebody should burn it. Nobody is gonna learn anything from it. I tip my hat to Clarkstown, I don’t love the style of play either but that team is dominant. At the end of the day they have high end players all over the field.

Done deal. That team is finished and a bunch are going to world class. They had an excellent run of results over the past two years.

Because this is how the soccer world is. Long island has been like that for years. Parents always looking for something better and not realizing what they have in front of them. When our girls are 18 we will realize how stupid we where.

Or perhaps they enjoyed the run and understand that style of soccer doesn't translate to the big field and 11v11. You can't constantly give up possession of the ball and expect to be successful. This works with 12 year old girls who are more prone to mistakes on their own side of the field. The coach is all about winning and less about player development. He's an absolute master at teaching this style and there's no arguing it. His players are great at fielding aerial balls and returning the ball up to the 2 or 3 playmakers up front. If I was a parent of a player at the defense side I would've moved clubs a while ago.
That said - Congrats on the excellent season. Good luck the rest of the way. Represent our state well at regionals.

I believe that The move to WC was initiated by the Clarkstown coach for a couple of the top players. If true, I commend him. Moving to the larger field next year, Clarkstown can't offer leagues or facilities, and the girls need to improve their technical aspect of the game. WC has a great coach for that at the 07 age group.

WC will ruin these players

I thought world class coach was moving?

Yes moving down south. He can yell and scream at kids down there from now on.

Old coach is leaving. New coach coming in will get these the girls to understand how to play real soccer. It is easy to play big kick soccer on the small field. When it comes to the bigger field you must be able to possess the ball This is the guy who will teach them that

After reading a few takes about how the Clarkstown 07 team would fare on the "big field" I decided to do some research. As opposed to speculating I opted for facts and this is what I came up with.....

It appears the Clarkstown '07 coach also coaches the Clarkstown '06s. So with minimal research on GotSoccer checking the '06 game history it would appear that this style of play not only translates to the big field, it's quite effective. The '06 team apparently won the EDP National Premier Division 1 Spring League, triumphed at the EDP Memorial Day tournament, handily won the NY State Cup and are currently set to appear in the semi-finals of the US Youth National EDP Conference Cup in July. Furthermore, the game history reveals the Clarkstown 06 team is winning these games against high level competition.

Now I'm not an expert and I'm not entirely sure what all this means, but I'm pretty sure they've figured how to play soccer on a big field.

This take is hilarious. If you watched Clarkstown play and all you walked away with is "it is easy to play big kick soccer on the small field" than you're really lost. I don't have a dog in the fight but I've seen them play multiple times and that team has legit players all over the field. I don't love firing shots off from the parking lot either but pay attention, those kids whether it be at Clarkstown or WC are gonna be good players. You think those kids aren't gonna have a clue when they play on the big field??? They haven't lost a game in over a year, it's not by accident. You don't win consistently against EVERYBODY playing big kick soccer. C'mon man, it's a good team. It's okay to admit it. I do.

You don't have a kid on the team but still watch them play. Little strange no matter what you say, but fits with the parent landscape nowadays

As a matter of fact, it’s not hard to imagine at all. My daughter has played against them at least 4x, maybe 5. After having the same kick and run analysis early on I basically realized after multiple losses that they were actually pretty darn good.
