The soccer team has been scrimmaging against professional teams this spring and doing well. They played to a 0-0 tie against the Colorado Rapids and lost to a Danish pro team 3-1.

I know someone will follow up and say those teams played their rookies or backups, none the less, they were all most likely highly recruited out of college and/or are good enough to be professional players.

Doesn't matter if they're rookies or backups. That's like saying hey FAU baseball beat the Cardinals but they played mostly rookies and backups. Doesn't matter those kids still had to make it professionally they're obviously good enough to play on a major league team. Still impressive any way you look at it

You're only as good as your competition.  Good test for our team.
