Other teams were invited but declined, even teams from Maryland.
Yes, Denver - let's follow the thread please. Everyone is saying that "the competition was lacking", which is easy to say when you weren't there. It's exactly what you'd expect a sore loser to say. If your team was invited, but declined, let's see the proof. Either way, Team 91 would have destroyed your team also, if you had even made it past the others.
For a "World Championship" made up of elite teams there certainly were a lot of lopsided games - 10, 20, 30 goals! Crush could have stayed on Long Island and had better competition.
Not a knock on any of those teams - the kids were treated like stars and that's what they'll remember.
But all this is just a distraction, let's stay on topic - without your holdbacks, you got Crushed by a team that you just barely beat when you had holdbacks (5-6?) three weeks prior. That's a fact not subject to debate.
Have a nice weekend.
And once again, if your team beat Crush, keep talking and let us know when and where (almost doesn't count, btw). If they haven't (and I'm positive they can't - they are by far the best team in the country), save your breath. It's hilarious to hear from teams who wouldn't even have made it to the Final, let alone not get destroyed.
Nobody is talking about how their team would have done better against Crush, we are just pointing out that you beat them (barely) with a bunch of holdbacks and then got demolished 19-8 when you had to field a team of on-age kids.
You had a great season, only losing two games - but both of those losses came when you could not use your holdbacks - 2020s and the ones you bring down from 2019 for special occasions.
Just goes to show how much of a difference holdbacks make.
