It's fine, it's not as if most of these teams have been winning in walkovers all season. They peaked at the right time, congrats to them, but it's not as if the state was lacking in competitors. Multiple teams at each age group could were in the hunt.
I guess that is why they have AYSO soccer for recreational teams. You know like the CFJr's. That way everyone buys tickets.
your responses have really gone downhill, c'mon man step up the quality! It was an actual legit question after reading all of the Magic wins but I guess when they are the #1 boys program in the country they should win some state crowns. Though of course the state cups wont matter in another year now will they? (with the MLS/USSF programs)
Okay, I'll bite. Tell me what were you looking for in a response? No, chitown it is not good because then nobody wants to play soccer if they are not on the Magic? Yes, chitown it is good because everyone will want to beat the Magic and try harder at training? No, chitown it is not good because they focus on winning? Yes, chitown it is good because they develop players and winning is a byproduct of it? No, chitown it is not good because we can not get them to fundraise for their fees by selling MLS tickets? Yes, chitown it is good beacuse it is a players environment instead of a sales environment?
Thanks for the sales pitch on the Magic, they do focus on winning and only winning. I would have to question the development part. I still dont get your obsession with tickets, Ive never been asked to buy or sell tickets for the Fire. But hey, thanks for the effort!
They won a good number or state cups this year (14, 16, 18, 19 I THINK but could be wrong), but not as many as they had last year. they did not look nearly as dominating this year as they did last year as well. dont know if it was an off weekend or if other programs are rising to the challenge.
Celtic went 2-7 or 28% Coach Geo went 2-5 or 40% Beautiful went 5-8 or 63% JMPN Dad went 4-5 or 80% So Coach please NO checks.
lol good work, i guess we did alright for a couple of *$#(%@^ idiots . do i get some sort of bonus for getting the most correct, haha?!? does anyone know when the regional draw comes out?
I am trying because I need the steak knives. Yea I would too if the CFJ have never developed anyone either. Remember signing a player to a contract to sell tickets is not development. They have you brainwashed. I just read it again when KC wrote about their upcoming academy. See I did bite, but you still avoided the topic. And if Sockers WHO ARE A VERY GOOD CLUB won all the state titles the response still would have been the same. If you want to be developed and train in a legitimate soccer environment go to the Sockers or the Magic. If you want a red jersey go to the CFJ's. Hey they might even get lucky and get a one-off!
Draws are posted. http://www.region2.com/2007Cup/2007BracketDraw.pdf 9.3.1A SEEDING: The prior year semifinalist states will be seeded in each of the four (4) competitive brackets. The two (2) finalists would be placed in brackets A and C, with the remaining state semifinalists placed in brackets B and D. The remaining slots would be drawn using the same double blind draw currently used. In age divisions with only three (3) brackets, the two (2) finalists would be placed in brackets A and C with the best state semifinalist placed in the B bracket based on tie breaker criteria in the Cup rules. This would apply to the U-14 – U-19 divisions. MRL wildcards and State Drawn wildcards will continue to be treated as teams that are used to fill in competition in order to reach fourteen (14) teams in the U-13 and U-19 age groups and sixteen (16) in the U-14 through U-18 age groups. Therefore, the MRL wildcards cannot be seeded in the top four (4). If a MRL representative or drawn wildcard was a semifinalist in the prior year, that slot will be filled using the current double blind draw process.

We we're very close to signing with the magic at one point but thought ( and still think) that the opportunity to work with our son's current coach was too good to pass up. You must have experience with both clubs to know what the environment is at both clubs (Our kids show up to the training field and get trained and then they go home....what's not legitimate about that?) . Please introduce yourself next time you're at on of my son's training sessions. Because if you dont attend our sessions then you really cant comment on what happens there.
Seadog, you don't have to defend your decisions vis a vis your club choice and your child's development. The fact is that if he's happy and growing then the rest will take care of itself.
Girls: U-14 Eclipse Select U-15 KUFC (Bloomington?) U-16 Eclipse Select U-17 Chicago Magic U-18 Eclipse Select U-19 Eclipse select
True...but features many players who used to play for 2 very good teams out of Bloomington (CIS). Kinda surprised that they did not join Eclipse South to play for their former coach, who is now the Director of Eclipse South.
