Fair enough, but I just don’t get where this ‘everyone is a winner’ stuff came from. That is also equally applicable to any youth sport in this country, it certainly isn’t limited to soccer.

Regardless of the sport I am sick of my kid coming home with a trophy or medal from every sport he participates in, regardless of wither they ever won a single game. Mementos and souvenirs are fine, that’s what the team picture is for, but the everybody needs a trophy to feel like a winner thing is ridiculous and only harms these kids down the road when they get in the real world and the boss does not give them a raise and bonus for just showing up.
