Saw that! Rediculus! And the couldn't even win both gimme games

Straight up FCA just did not play well no excuse

Might want to seed the teams by game stats - Goal dif, goals against, etc. - this looks shady.

Jury still out on fl$. Igloo is discratz... We'll see if fl$ just got lucky vs. FCA or if they are legit based on game vs. LIE. It would appear MAD LAX hs gotten better.

Express 8-4 over FL$. fl$ decent but not elite. LIE still a step ahead of them but behind the very top teams.

Will be fun for the person who convinced 40 parents from Long Island to take off work, drive 5 hours, and pay for hotel rooms to watch their kids play other Long Island kids...

I think everyone has had time to enjoy beautiful Annapolis and explore the US NAVAL Academy regardless of whether or not they play a game or two vs. local competition. How about seeking out the positive and not the negative angry Joe.

How fun was that FL$ Expre$$ game? Express doubled ya up.

I've never seen so many dudes wearing vineyard vine shirts.

fl$ has a lot be proud of, FCA should be embarrassed, parents, players and coaches owe lots of people apologies for their despicable behavior. Wouldn't be surprised if the colleges that recruited their 16 and 17 year old 9th graders are having second thoughts. Big difference between playing hard and playing like a bunch of scumbags.

Express just demolished the overage, overrated FCA team 7-2. Everyone there couldn't have been happier. Not a single FCA fan except for the parents.

Some carnage in Naptown - LIE knocking off FCA. Clams over Eclipse, Denver Elite over Madlax in OT, and Crush the only one that looks like it is cruising with a win over LB3.

Fans, other than parents? What would anyone else be doing at the tournament on a work week, during Summer, who is not directly involved/related with the players! Fans! I do hate me some FCA 2020, though, so nice win.

That's what happens when older kids lose to younger kids.

What was the despicable behavior?

Parents and players from other 2020 teams, lots of them, all rooting for Express and laughing at FCA players

Fellowship of Cheating Aholes

FCA is the new Crabs. 👑 of the holdback realm. Boy those UNC coaches must be having second thoughts about verbally committing all those meatheads.

What does fl$ have to be proud of, not acting like FCA?
fl$ went 1-3 and beat a team that was the worst in the tournament.
They should be proud they didn't go 0-4,like Igloo 2020.
Igloo's much heralded 2021 team lost to 91 again by a bunch.
Long ride home for the arrogant head penguin.

You're right to say that some of the behavior by the fca players in today's game was unacceptable. Most of our players were respectful and played hard and did what they could to try to make up for two or three of their teammates who behaved badly and put the fca team at a disadvantage for a lot of the game. As far as the fca parents, there was no one screaming more loudly at our own player to stop the unacceptable hit (for which our team was assigned an enormous penalty and he was ejected from the game) than the fca parents on the sidelines.
And by the way a real Christian would recognize that wishing ill will for others is sinful behavior.

Crush boys playing for FCA at Lake Placid.....Ironic?? Will they beat down Express tomorrow, or put on the brakes since many of the boys are playing for the Express coach in HS?

Manhasset and CSH dads can buy showcase all star spots at FL$ events and make sure loud mouth Daler coach also picks their kids at rigged Nassau/Suffolk HS "tryout". What they can't do is make their kids more athletic. All the back slapping up at Plandome aint gonna change that! FL$ should take their medicine and go home rather than coming on here and crowing about their losing record and how much they have to be proud of. As for Igloo 2020, they are a middle of the road A/B team and had no business in this super high end AA tournament to begin with. Given the results, not sure FL$ belonged there either.

This team has demonstrated horrible behavior and unsportsmanlike conduct time and time again. It's the coaches and parents responsibility to address it and fix it. Those two or three players are the same ones that disrespect the game, other players and parents and it's well known who they are. I'd love to see an FCA parent reprimand their son immediately, but that never happens. It's well known that one of those same kids spit in the face of a defenseman during the Naptown tournament and yet he was right out there on the field again the next day. The kid who got the violent unreleasable penalty should be suspended or that parent should take him out of the game to get his priorities straightened out. I doubt that will happen. Lastly, nobody is wishing ill will for others, but you need to be responsible for your actions and there are consequences for consistently bad behavior.

His parents are not going to do anything - they encourage his behavior. Have you seen the way his mother behaves? I have to imagine UNC is just a wee bit concerned about bringing THAT into their house.

And that same 16 year old ( as the parent on the sidelines says) was laughing by the burger stand after FCA got their [lacrosse] kicked and told his teammates "I'm gna snake one of those gatorades from the cooler" ....after watching he didn't but the fact that he was even thinking about it while laughing after his team got his [lacrosse] kicked and was an embarrassment to his team and the values his team is supposed to be built upon shows the character of that kid. He has much more to be ashamed about. He will keep laughing all the way to NC and one could only hope the coach sees beyond the athletic skills (which were not on showcase this weekend for sure) and see the cheap shot artist holdback that he really is. Put that on your highlight reel #44. Your a punk !

fl$ was just fine. Lost to a better Express team. All the games were competitive and they beat Freedom as well. We're fine, Thank you. What are you so scorned and angry about? It's laughable reading your vitriol and its clear you have an agenda. Fun tournament. Now to enjoy the area and then head down to DC.

4-7 vs. Mad lax
5-8 vs. FCA
10-0 vs. Carolina
4-8 vs. LIE
6-5 vs. Freedom.

Yeah, they should all quit the game and take up polo...

fl$'s biggest problem is there are no holdbacks... team needs to get older.

Metzbower had a front row seat at the game. He saw it all. Not sure he had a chance to talk to the kid, supposedly # 44 jumped in his car and drove away right after the loss.

Fake News is Hilarious. Keep it coming

The real actions and reputation are hilarious enough, we're good, thanks

For you to say that the entire team behaves that way is just not true. There is not a team anywhere that doesn't have a few bad apples. These kids are teenagers and they make mistakes. The hope is that the good kids influence the not so good kids to be better. You are correct in saying that consequences are in order and there's no one that would argue with that. But please don't say that the entire team, the entire coaching staff, and all of the parents are horrible and should be ashamed.

The same FCA parents that were screaming at our own player to stop hitting the LIE player also had a front row seat to see how the LIE FOGO was cheating on every single face off yet we didn't scream at the top of our lungs about it.

Sorry, Maryland team complaining about Maryland refs? Pleeease... What your team should have done is have one of your middies take out the LIE fogo. Oh wait, you did that to. Since these players are older shouldn't they be more mature then the younger players they play against? Setting the good example?

No.not.every.team.has.bad.apples.

Boohoo - LIE FOGO was cheating.

Better bring more re-classed kids next time.

How was the LIE FOGO cheating on every faceoff? If you are gonna make that accusation at least back it up. I would love to hear your explanation.

Wow! Calling out kids, no matter their behavior is really low. Did you have the ball$ to confront his parents? Or did you just come on BOTC to make a point? What a chicken $hit. If you're going to take the time to admonish on BOTC why not say something in person, since you know who the parents are? Scared?

Best line ever. Truth

Nice excuse drop. Knew that was coming. Oh, and yeah, you aren't supposed to be screaming at your own players or the opponents, because you aren't, you know, the coach or referee. Parents are supposed to do some positive cheering and pretend they understand what they are watching. Half the reason for the poor behavior on the field is the simple fact that the players were born to parents that don't know when to shut up.

After taking such a shellacking and embarrassing the family, my guess would be out of pity.

Fake News

Is Express ready for a beatdown on TV?
