What positions do these guys play? One the girls side it was 7-8 forwards and 1 defender.

[rlb2024]

2 are defenders (Humphrey and Wiles), 3 or 4 are midfielders (Ross, Rushing, and Toro, and Boudreaux was All-District as a forward and on here as a mid -- he plays both in club), one keeper (Nelson), and the rest forwards. So a 2-3-6 or 2-4-5.

Not quite the 1-2-7 formation on the girls side.

[laffysoccermom]

I'd love to see these teams play with 1-2 defenders. Obviously whoever picked this doesn't know much about soccer. I'm not saying the players aren't good- just to have a team you need a better mix of positions.

Well the truth is the majority of those forwards and midfielders on the team would also be the best defenders to.
