The most intense and angry reaction I have ever seen by an opposing coach was in a match where the winning coach asked his team to possess the ball and NOT SCORE.

The losing coach was livid afterward—as were the fans. They all claimed that NOT scoring was disrespectful.

My point? When the match is one-sided, there is no good outcome. . .that is the worst aspect of high school soccer.

I feel keeping the score south of 10-0 is the best option, but there is nothing that will make a losing team happy when the match is mis-matched.
