Ridiculous thread, ridiculous topic.
I have been around the FVSL Premier for 10+ years now. This division, this league would be much better for having 10 teams of the caliber, or at least the ability and desire to battle and compete with a team like POCO. Regardless of who, or how, they are put together.
As a competitor, player or coaching staff, you kill for the big games against sides like this. It was great being around the Langley boys the past 2-3 weeks where this was their sole focus. They are the only team in the division right now that will pull that out of anyone, where as 5 years ago, we had that from PAU, the Wack, POCO and at times others.
I recall commenting to more than one when they were out and beat Langley 5-1 in the second half, pretty classy bunch, never disrespectful of the opposition, and although a couple guys who would chirp, what team does not have that? They looked professional, and looked like they liked each other, and were genuinly having a good time. As a coach, skill and talent aside, that is the sign of a good team first imo.
Trust me, we have other situations in the division that should be branded an embarrassment much before this group labeled as such.
