We had one team of 30 people call ahead and that was WONDERFUL because we had a lunch server stay the extra two hours and take care of it (yeah, she's pretty rockin') Then all at around the same time we had an 11 top, 19 top, 13 top and 10 top. I don't know of many restaurants that could accommodate that many big tables.
If you're at a soccer tournament don't assume that you're the only team that decided after a long day of scoring goals and what not, that it'd be a good idea to go to a restaurant. As soon as you walk through the door, everyone that works there will hate you for not calling ahead. It doesn't take too much time to look up the phone number of a restaurant, say 30 minutes to an hour in advance and say that you'd like to bring a group in.
It also seems that the parents of the team's kids are ALWAYS douchey. This isn't just for soccer, I've also noticed in for baseball parents. These parents are often in their late 30s to early 40s and think they're still 21 and can do whatever the fuck they want. They also need to realize that you are not going to get the same service as a 19 top that you would if you only had 4 people. The server who took you is probably already pretty full because of the other tables seeings how it's a SATURDAY but now he/she has to deal with your big asses. So be patient when you come in with a big top UNANNOUNCED and if you do have a big party coming in CALL AHEAD.
