Let's just say, for argument's sake, that I was a parent of a player that plays for a club that has been shut out of the inner circle of Elite Soccer and now, all of a sudden, DA comes in and tells me that I can join their "inner circle", I may, just maybe, want to bash anyone or anything (club, team, etc.) that represents what I have longed to be a part of for so long and was continuously denied?
I don't think the point of Surfer's post was that he had possession of, or seen, a video. Who knows if one actually exists. It seems more like that was a statement to advance a narrative that while the DA Quakes lost to the ECNL MVLA team, the DA Quakes are actually a better team. Not because I know, I observed the game or saw a video but rather because they are the almighty DA. The same DA that has produced not one single male American Player that can compete on the world stage in it's 10 years of existence. The current pathetic USMNT are almost old enough to start using walkers and canes but we still roster them because we can not find a younger player in our DA system to replace them but then, I digress...
Additionally, if MVLA is better than Quakes, who are better than possibly Surfer's team, doesn't that mean that Surfer's team gets knocked down yet another notch?
Is it reasonable to just give the two teams a tip of the hat and say "Great Job!"
