Express plays in earlier, easier games, but somehow manages to not play any of the AA teams of Taz, Laxachusetts Black or Primetime. They were scheduled to play Primetime, but that game mysteriously changed to True Blue, a far easier team. Express is the only team in the tournament that plays no AA teams on Saturday. A coincidence that this is an Express tourney and their own team is given the easiest schedule of any team in the tournament and a free ride to the number one seed for the playoff game? Given the antics thT Express is all too well known for, this should surprise no one. Makes me want to puke!

There are four legit AA teams in the white bracket and two legit AA teams in the Orange bracket and one legit AA team in the Black bracket which is of course the Express bracket.

Express gets a free ride to playoff game, plays all their games on turf, with the lowest GA average, since they play no one. while the white bracket has several AA teams that will be knocked out early.

I have never seen such a blatant example of bias in a tournament. This Express tournament is a total scam designed to give their own team every possible advantage, short of simply handing them a free T-shirt. Absolutely disgraceful example of just how bad this greedy business of youth lacrosse can get, with absolutely no governing body to insure some type of basic fairness, except for the greedy clubs. The people that make the money, make the rules. A conflict of interests perhaps?? Disgusting.

This tournament should be boycotted.

Someone has too much time on their hands to analyze Tourney Machine. Please Boycott the tournament. You most likely is the guy yelling at referees all day long anyway. When you get a chance go introduce yourself to any of the Express directors and say your peace. You come on here and just BLAH BLAH BLAH nonsense. You sir = lost!

Express will still lose in the playoffs!!they can hide in bracket but not in playoff rounds

What analysis? A monkey could see what Schwale is doing. One bracket has four AA teams. Another has three AA teams and the third bracket has none, except Express.

They had an AA team in there (just one) but Schwale got scared and changed PT out for TB. A far easier team.

Nope. No advanced math here. Just Express doing what they do best. Cheating. All those holdbacks and 2023’s not nearly enough for that sub par team. What’s next? Paying off the refs? After this blazon example of flat out cheating, does anyone doubt that Express would payoff the refs at their own tournament?

There is no doubt that express is capable of paying refs off. Think about it. More holdbacks than any other LI team. One holdback team for grade based and a different 2023/2024 team for WSYL. If it gives express teams an advantage, then it’s done. Rig their tournaments? Done. Shush money for refs? Done. 32 player ponzie scheme? Done!

Express stinks. You guys are giving Long Island teams a bad name. Cheaters!

So bad. Worst lacrosse ever. Given the holdbacks the losses are a reflection on the coach.The guy has been unsuccessful at every level. Enjoy Denver losers. Maybe lower your expectations.

Offense is run through two to three players who just aren’t that good. On repeat.

Waste of the best defense in the country

There are two top defensemen on that team, but they became great b/c they've had to work HARD. No one skilled on offense.

Easy does it there big fella. Must be 5:00 somewhere. Express may have a decent defender or two (definitely not great) but that doesn’t make a great defense. Express defense is an average AA defense. Nothing special, at all. Offense is completely inept. A combination of poor coaching and lack of talent.

EXPRESS blatantly cheated with game scheduling for opponents and strength of schedule for themselves.
They also brought down older kids and all that combined, they gave up more goals in 2 days then the teams that actually made the final four,hows that make their defense best in the country??
What and when have they ever won ANYTHING to be able to spew such a statement...just ridiculous.

It’s amazing the grudge people carry. No older kids came down and the brackets all had at least two top teams. The True IL team gave the 91 all they could handle. They know who these clubs are. Express is in the Midwest now. But keep your bitterness and anger going, it’s so worth it.

bs that Express didn't bring kids down. They have an 8th grader on the team. 2023! Not even an older 2024. The kid is a 2023 & he is basically their entire offense.


TRUTH!!!!!

Not a Fan of Express but this is truly DISTASTEFUL and UNACCEPTABLE how people on this site talk about young man.

i agree with you . this site is trash. The scary part is all the garbage on here is adults trashing clubs and pumping up themselves . For what? in 5 years thats when it matters. Express has some very good players along with many clubs out there.

That’s your spin? Nothing left to rationalize, so play the last resort sympathy card. Cheaters get no sympathy from anyone. You’re being called out for the trash you are. No more hiding from the lies. No sympathy.

It's just jealousy. Playing on age is a death sentence in this sport. Don't hate the player, hate the game. Also, enough with the cheating....you just sound notIntelligent.

Jealous?? Jealous of what, a cheater team from a cheater organization, which, oh by the way is not even a good team. I don’t see anything that anyone could be jealous about.

I agree that you must be deeply disturbed to come on this site and want to mentally harm children like a bully.

world series bracket out. set up for WP vs Express or Taz

Yea , yea,,Express...LOL
Eclipse is the team not to sleep on...ask WP

You might want to look at the bracket a little better pool D is the one I would be concerned with especially if WP meets BL in the game before championship that could really be the game to watch
