Gah, sore spot...I have to jump in here.

I knew the girls on the 96 team before they hit Academy and unless they've suddenly lost all skill and intelligence or the coaching is just that terrible--which I highly doubt--there are more than just two good players on that team. I can name four off the top of my head who, as of a year or more ago, were very smart, good passers, and quick on the ball. Several more had immense potential if developed properly in anticipation of the passing-tactical focus of older age groups.

I can't say anything about team dynamic, but I find it very difficult to believe that the team sucks and only two are "dominant." I am not biased towards MPSC either...and some of you are familiar with my experience with them. But I do find it hard to believe that a group of girls with a lot of potential has suddenly spiraled down into a pit of awfulness.


Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; [it] is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
