What team relies on 1 or 2 players? Last time I checked this is a team sport and there are 12 players on the field for each team. Your statement illustrates one of the things that is wrong with this sport, "Parents who can only see value in scoring goals". Many teams have to deal with injuries every year and there are a lot of teams with plenty of talent.

You are so right, UNC has the best offense by far but they would not be undefeated without their defense/goalie

More times than not (just about all of the time) it is the team with the best Team Defense and solid goalie play that wins The Championship. UNC Midfielders are pretty darn good as well.

While that’s a nice sentiment I am not sure that’s actually true . Looking at some past years results there have been a few shoot outs and I don’t really count the pre-shot clock low scoring games as being about defense as much as stalling in many cases . I think a well balanced team is what gets you thru the whole tournament .
