I've been on both ends. But in the end you have to play the game. We have had shortened 2nd halves and played the full 80. You make changes and don't leave your best forwards and mids in. You throw the bench players in and make some adjustements. Don't patronize a team by getting to the 6 then passing it all the way back. I'm sorry but this isn't rec anymore. People will have their feelings hurt. My guys knew against some teams it was going to be a blowout, but we'd do everything we could to make them earn every goal. They'd get a few goals and slowly ease up and we'd start to get to play around a bit more and get to try out a few things that we used against more evenly matched teams. Majority of the time we'd come out feeling fine and not being all butt hurt about it.
