  1. This was poor sportsmanship, it is high school soccer not the pros, you should not beat a team that badly because that just was unnecessary

  2. it was poor sportsmanship because they are only playing high school soccer, not any sort of pro league so it is still important to respect the other team.

  3. i believe it’s poor sportsmanship because there is no reason to stomp on a team that much even if there is a record to set becasue in highschool soccer it’s more mean then successful

  5. Al,
    Definitely poor coaching and a complete lack of sportsmanship. Always respect the game and your opponent. In this environment it doesn’t surprise me that this happened. What’s sad is that it is being debated. Soccer is not an individual sport and cannot be compared to such!

  7. I believe it’s poor sportsmanship because you should give other teams a chance when you have an advantage like that

  8. I think this just shows hard work! If they work hard to improve at a sport they shouldn’t be shamed for playing as well as they can.

  9. i don’t think it’s bad sportsmanship. if you’re bad you’re bad don’t throw a fit. if you’re upset that you got beat then it should show you what you need to work on#nomercy

  10. it is upsetting because it’s really not fair to the team the professionals should’ve known that this was not right, unethical.

  12. I think that even though he broke the record, it did not happen in a natural way. Scoring your fifteenth goal in a game is no way to break a record

  13. This is pretty bad sportsmanship, if you are winning by like 4 you should stop scoring or Put in like a pass rule or put in your bench players if it’s that bad.

  14. I think there is a lot to say. These teams are not pros and if there is a rule that says that they should stop, they have to respect the rule. At the same time, they were playing, and when you are playing you try to win. It doesn’t matter who is your opponent, you just do your best and that’s what the kid did. Also, he wanted to play soccer at college and he could probably receive a scholarship now. He didn’t even know about the records. He was just playing and trying to do his best

  15. Your xcountry example has no comparison. It is not like you just pull a runner to put in another. Take basketball or football. It’s the last 5 minutes of the game. Is it right to keep the starters in, just to let one player break records? Or should you clear the bench so they get experience and real time in game to feel they contributed to the win. I can see bringing in bench players one at a time to score in basketball but can’t see the sportsmanship in leaving all starters so one can set a record with 40 or 50 points.
