if you want to translate it that way then fine with me, lol

 

i wasent trying to make any crazy guarantee, i just found it funny how we were just casually talking and you first to jump in and make a prediction

 

and i might have misphrased what i said

 

you didnt accually say either 6a north or lake gibson game was a lock but at no point did i ever hear you say you expected armwood to lose to lake gibson or that armwood would lose to a 6a north team in playoffs, in fact i only mentioned the lake gibson part because i thought that might have been the funniest playoff run as of late since you basically picked them to lose every big game they played and they somehow kept winning lol

 

it was almost like you were jinxing every oppenent they had, wonder how it would go if you had picked lake gibson in any of those games :D 

 

;)

 

but in all seriousness i dont think we will beat them but i would like to hope we can somehow because IF we could we would have a good chance to make our first state apperance in soccer

Columbia, in Jamaica we say "the ball is round" when referring to any given soccer game. Translation: on any given night, any team can win. Will Columbia beat Fleming Island in a rematch? The odds don't favor it and you would be stupid to take a bet without a decent spread. Does this guarantee that that you lose to them in the playoffs? Absolutely not. 

 

Until the final whistle is blown you have a chance. Good luck the rest of the way. Even if you don't get out of district play, the team has had a good year.

So far we have beaten every district opponent this year so i am confident we get past district play but that Fleming Island makes or breaks playoff run but good year regardless as they took huge steps forward as a program

I saw that. But you have proven that you can win. That is half the battle. Soccer (football) was the second most popular sport in Jamaica next to track. At the schoolboy level, our standard was pretty good. Unfortunately, you could not make a living out of it (unless you migrated to England like John Barnes), so where it mattered (World Cup qualifiers), we did not have what it took (only made the World Cup once in many tries). But a good district game back when I was a boy would draw 5,000+ fans easily. So it was pretty exciting stuff. 

 

As a result, i have never lost my love for the sport even after all these years.

    • The question i have is & im being serious when I ask this ; what is the difference between northwestern & the first academy.    because the first academy got hit with one of the harshest punishments ive seen recently for doing basically the same thing. Paying for uber rides & other incentives to the players in need & for a lot of the transfers that transferred to TFA but didn’t have transportation to & from.    & there was NO out cry. Matter fact everyone said TFA got what they deserved. But in MNW case it’s all hell broke loose. Is it because who the head coach is ? Or is it because teddy explained what all the money he spent was for ? …….
    • If we keepin it real. Before last year northwestern was known by name, and last history but, their product on the field was avg at best. Their last title was in 2019 & after that they had a 1 or 2 4-6 or 5-5 seasons after.    & most will say they only won the championship last year because outside of central who had to forfeit 3A and the teams that’s in it is HORRENDOUS.    teddy becoming the head coach of the west single handily had transfers legal and illegal coming in left and right because he’s a former/active nfl player & lets face it in 2025 the kids love to follow the hype.    having a face like teddy on the sidelines automatically guarantee that entire team all types of connects, endorsements, exposure & etc. 
    • Nolebull, I'm not sure who you're referring to when you talk about the "jealous" and "disdainful" people.  Bridgewater has put the MNW administrators in between a rock and a hard place.   He basically came right out and said "I've been breaking the rules and if you don't like it, tough sh*t."  The MNW admin folks have two choices:  try to take matters into their own hands in hopes that the FHSAA will go easy on them or, alternatively, put their collective heads into the sand, ignore Bridgewater's public confession and hope that the matter quietly goes away.  Oh, and it ain't going away. 
    • Sure, but going about it this way will bring more attention to the absurdity of it all. Teddy is going to be just fine given his finances and reputation. The average high school coach who occasionally spends his own money like that, couldn't overcome getting caught helping.  If coaches REALLY wanted to bring about change, they'd have large email chat groups and decide to all come out together, at once, and proclaim that they, too, sometimes dip into their own pocket to help cover expenses. I suppose the schools and/or FHSAA could always cancel the season so as to administer punishments to all the guilty coaches for their generosity.  tl;dr: JUST SAY NO TO COMMUNISM. 
    • Imagine the jealously and disdain you have to have for someone that brought you a state title, bringing in top flight talent, so much exposure, huge showcase game against a national brand opponent, all while forking out your own money to do it for some punk clowns to undermine you and try and push you out. SMH.    You know in SFL you can get really good or really bad real fast. So I wouldn’t shocked if this all ends in a dumpster fire that kids start to jump ship and they struggle to maintain the standard
