CUnitedParent, your name says it all. The same could be said for you, many rural areas do not have the chance to enroll their kids in clubs and camps that can pay top dollar for coaches and fields. These kids have much to overcome, and this year they did! To much media hype maybe, did the kids read the media hype and buy into it maybe, who knows. If this was your daughters last year than she already has a championship to remember. Maybe he will get another crack at it next year. Whatever the case as a parent who no longer has a dog in this fight. May I give you a bit of advice; plan on a near future that every moment is not soccer but enjoy the game, don't blame your failures on others successes. The SOCCER GODS HAVE SPOKEN, and the better team holds the championship!
