Juventus I think deserves to be considered up there with Kennington at least.

Was this all Juventus or were there players from Aztecs also?

Also RASE with a 1-7 Goal for/against ratio on 3 losses on U9 Gold. Were they palying too far out of their range?

I watched RASE play a few of their games and they were outplayed in both games. DTS 03 without their star midfielder had possession 70% of the time. From my recollection I think the DTS keeper touched the ball once.I had not seen RASE play in a few months, but it appears they have slipped while LP Keegan, Dalglish,Juve, DT North Man and DT South have all gotten better. Hopefully we'll get to see some of them match up in upcoming tournaments. I am not so sure some of these teams are now playing better soccer than RASE tough competition or not.

Lol. Must have been watching the wrong games. DTS did not have 70% but without a doubt they had the better of the game. Rase was unable to solve the DTS backline. Was still a nice competative game and not the walkover you suggest. They were actually ahead in the Polaris game for a good part of the game. Another very solid competative game that they lost. The dalglish game was another very competative game that Rase had quite a few opportunities in but also gave a few counter attacks from dalglish 03 that were so fast they were scary. Overall play DTS was best and also best defense. Dalglish 03 may be the fastest in the attack. Our girls played 3 top 15 03 teams and represented themselves well. Keep hating but it isn't gonna make YOUR team any better

NIce first post BTW

Maybe the possession was more like 67%, but how many shots on goal did they have? I am not hating on your team. Is this a RASE forum where anytime anyone questions their superiority in 04 soccer we get shot down? I did not see the Polaris game, but saw all of the DTS game and small part of the other one, and they may have played their hearts out, but they were in over their heads. Who cares, except yourself, if you play up in the 03,02 or 01 bracket? The question was if they were out of their range and from one observer the answer was yes. You all have good players. No question about it, but if you played against some of the top 04 teams now I think it would be closer than it was a few months ago. If you're playing in the Gold division what teams do you expect to face? Teams ranked between 10 and 40?

Can you list some May tournaments for Rase? I would like to see if DT North Manchester and Fever Red can show up for those tournaments. I don't think either can beat Rase, but I would like to see if they are competitive with Rase.

I will get a better gauge on Fever Red, once I see the Lp Barnes vs. Fever Red game next week. LP Barnes is very good.

An over their heads would have been more of an 8-0 loss. And I would like to see the results of the 04 teams (that you believe are so close to RASE), against DTS 03's. I can assure you THAT would be a team in over their heads
