Cubs with 9 starters out?
How many for Doves?

I heard MCA was using 5th and 6th graders because their whole team was out.  

[dovesdad]

Another tough outing for these wounded doves. MCA has a fine team, but there were several factors contributing to the result.

1. 8 starters out. I repeat. 8.
2. Haven’t played at home since December 2. The girls had a hard time with natural turf conditions and our grounds crew is on vacation. The grass was too long.
3. Pressure from dove alumni attending the game. Big shoes to fill.

But, we have to take responsibility for our losses. No excuses.

You missed a couple of obvious excuses...SSA was tired after playing the day before and SSA feeling overconfident after watching the MCA 8th graders get beat right before the game.

First off, this post belongs in the "excuse thread" which was created specifically for SSA fans. Secondly, I have a few questions for you Goldilocks.

1) Was the game time satisfactory and did you get to see the game?

2) The grass is too long on your own field? What field conditions does SSA prefer? Doves didn't like Lakeshore or Northlake and I know they don't like our field.

3) Dove fans have claimed over the years that their 2nd string could start for any team in the state and perhaps the entire country. I think some even claimed the second string could make the USWNT. What happened to all of that talent? Is recruiting down?

4) Is the powerful Dove Soccer Alumni Association OK with you posting these excuses every week?

Dovedad’s excuses are over the top. Winners find a way to win, regardless of the circumstances. You roll with whoever is on the roster, next man (or girl) up. How do you think Belichick and the Patriots won so many super bowls with all those no name players?

This is rich, even from an SSA dad. You turned a home game into an excuse for your performance, then stated "no excuses".

I know you were missing a few players, but so were we. It's obviously a two horse race for the D1 title this year and SSA is not one of them. 

GO CUBS!!

I think you mean a 3 horse race, unless you don’t think your Cubs are one of the 2

You simps are getting played. DovesDad is a NS parent trolling the board as revenge for the antics of NHSNancy, who is actually a LS parent. Tighten up mouth-breathers, before you all hyperventilate.

Not one of ours. We don't pay enough attention to SSA to have that much inside information.

Which field is “our” field? I can provide feedback once you provide this information. You seem dove-sessed.

Doesn’t this belong in the Pro/College/International forum?

There is no such thing as a dumb question. Well....

Dove-sessed you say? I can hardly figure out how many quarantined players we have from game to game and guess what, it doesn't matter. I certainly don't have the slightest clue as to how many quarantined players SSA has... it doesn't matter. I also don't know where SSA plays their home games these days and again... it doesn't matter. As much as you want SSA to be relevant again, it won't happen by creating multiple threads and posting a litany of excuses after each loss.

Recruiting is definitely down. Do you think the talent is just gonna walk in because they like the fancy skirts and polyester blouses! Do you think they go to our field and see our “field house” (Model D from Home Depot) and say I really want to play here. No! They have to be courted, maybe even a little Payola when nobody is looking. We got to get the fella plugged into pipeline. Is anybody listening to me! Coquille ain’t gonna cut it.
