reebok... you either seem to be blowing smoke about gotsoccer rankings for some reason, or you don't understand them. Gotsoccer rankings have always been based on points earned through results on the field, and points available to be earned are not restricted to USYSA events and teams. Gotsoccer #4 u-17 is an ECNL team without points from USYSA leagues or cups... all ECNL and tournament results. Points earned by a team are good for a 12 month period.

We play a team sunday from up north that by some ranking is number 1 in the country. I will let you knownif they live up to that.


Is it Match Fit? According to gotsoccer, Match Fit is ranked #1 nationally. It also says that the last game they played was a 2-1 loss to Cleveland United. It also says that Cleveland United tied CESA at Nationals in Rock Hill in July. That will be interesting.

Of course, back to our opinions about rankings, according to this list on gotsoccer http://home.gotsoccer.com/rankings/resul...ion=&State= Match Fit has the #1 ranked team in the nation in U-17 in their club as well as the #7 and #9 ranked teams in the country; all in the same club. That gotsoccer sure is on the ball.



Gotsoccer, given its points system, does seem to be on the ball with the Match Fit rankings. The team ranked #1 earned points in 13 ranked events (2 leagues... #1 and #2, plus no lower than semifinalist but mostly as champions in multiple tournaments Disney, PDA, CASL, Jefferson Cup, etc.). They also picked up points as finalist in last year's state cup. The team they lost state cup final to is the Match Fit team ranked #8. That team added to its state cup points with points as regional finalist, a high Region I Premier league finish, a 2nd in USYSA National League (which will be replaced in March with its points finishing as this season's #1 in the USYSA National League qualifying the team for next summers National Championships), also champions of NJYS Nat Champ Series as well as tournament results at CASL, PDA, Disney, etc., but not as many tournaments entered as the first team. The #10 Gotsoccer ranked Match Fit team is US Club Soccer and has similar league, event and tournament results of the other two teams. Based on points associated with winning hardware (and Gotsoccer points)... the 3 Match Fit rankings are legit. One club, three seperate rosters (already checked).
