The kids played well. The semifinal did not go as we hoped but in the end why does it matter to anyone else but the kids that got to play.
Overall these kids got to play not worry about coaches, parents, scores, leagues...
They got to be kids are try different things. Some kids that play forward wanted to play back and be point. This is the time to make mistakes and work on other aspects of the game.
Best of luck to all players and parents.

When I was told four of the Soccertoughness players names, and I knew them to be long term DTS key players; I thought I knew the game results before the person finished telling me his story. DTS is a 11v11 powerhouse. 3v3 may be different, but since many of the DTS key players are part of the Futsal residency, they also know how to play small side games. With a roster of top talent DTS players, I expected a wipe out score. I was very surprised to hear that DTS was down 0-7 in 12 minutes, and given the 'mercy rule' at 20 minutes. A while later my surprise turned to disbelief. I thought the person may have been smoking too much pixie dust. So I had to ask for confirmation in this forum.

Now that the story is confirmed; here is the question that I really wanted to ask.

How did Azzuri beat DTS so handedly?

Was the referee calling fouls only one way? Or did Azzuri just outplay the DTS stars?

If Azzuri had an honest win, then please tell us how it was done so that we can all be a little more competitive with DTS.

"I knew them to be key DTS players,"oh, "Please tell us how it was done!". Are you kidding me, you're an idiot! Maybe you can pretend to be really concerned about 10 yr olds and post under another name following every event a DTS player attends. Stocker!
