SDL 4/27 scores...

1 GA. TGPL Silver results look pretty much the same. I know hindsight is 20-20, but do you think it would have been better to play gold '03 TGPL?

I'm sure the gold coaches would have rejected that. There's no way they want to get beaten by an 04 team.

Anyone have them?

Solar Armstrong 13-0, 16-0
Sting Central 9-0
TX Spirit 4-1
DT Scott 7-0, 3-0
Solar Kennington 11-0

I wonder what TX Spirit kind of did right or better than the others? Not really weighing in on Armstrong or Sting Central...but..that's not a bad resume against those top 10 teams. Does RASE ever play Daglish? Not knocking the Ice Cream party but is that like conceding?

It seems like talent wise, top teams in 04 could kind of provide better competition for the top 03 teams maybe?...Rase and DTS beat all the lower ranked 03 teams...(watch where this goes...) So if the lower 03 teams couldn't really hang with the top 04's, then what chance to they have against the top teams in their age group?

guess Solar couldn't "park the bus" against Rase

LOL. Maybe they brought the wrong bus.

I really doubt thats the case...it may come across as so, but in actuality, its really verbal jousting amongst soccer parents as a past time. I think if there was a visual of the girls faces after they lost, everyone would refrain.

My DD being on the losing side of some tough games, including blowouts, it really is hard on them. That's why she won't be allowed to see this site. All joking aside, I'm sure SK was really anticipating this weekend, but sometimes things get out of control. I don't think anyone in their right mind thinks that RASE is 11 points superior to SK. Just the way the ball bounces sometimes.

Valid point...stuff happens. One thing for sure though from their record, they have fire power and for sure defense. DTScott and Tx Spirit showed that its possible to keep the scoring at bay but its not easy to score on them.

I've never seen SK play, just heard they were a threat to dethrone RASE and that didn't pan out well at all...

Maybe not for LP members but the last question is how would DTS stand up against them.

Let's stop all this DTS standing with Rase stuff. I've seen DTS play, and if they had a tough time beating Owen (2-0) with a solid sweeper and Rase '05 (2-0), you do the math.

In soccer, a 2-0 score does not by any means indicate a game was tough or close for that matter...

Having seen DTS play once (against us), my opinion is their strength is their defense. Once you get into their end of the field, they swarm you.

I'd be interested to see how they do against RASE on a full sized pitch.

4-1?

I'll say it, RASE 04 is the SRSA of this age group (no they aren't better than SRSA and would lose to them by 10+ if they played). The gap is starting to grow, just like it did for SRSA about this time in their development. I doubt you will see them play 04's much more because right now it's just not a challenge for them. Maybe they play one year of TGPL Gold or whatever the top league is for 04's in the fall like SRSA did but come this time next year they will probably be playing boys like SRSA does.

I've watched them play on more than a few times over the past year or so and each time they look better and better. Also from what I heard if the bounces would have gone their way yesterday it would have been much worse than 11-0.

No...lets not stop. If you are a RASE parent then YOU stop and just await the outcome and let all the spectators enjoy the intrigue. If there is no threat then why get defensive? Just sit back and prepare yourselves for next years games against boys.

I would say any score with a 4+ margin of victory would say the game was relatively easy for the victor. This does not however work on low scores. I have seen 1-0 and 2-0 games where the winning team just had a heck of a time hitting back of net with dozens of bar hits. In these same games, the opposing team never even took one single shot or got into their attacking third...

I doubt they would let a 04 team in gold. They could have gotten the same effect by playing boy

Nope you are right, it doesnt. But again, I've seen both play and there is no comparison. I called it out that when I said Solar Kenn gives up way too many points to be a top '04 team and the Rase vs. SK showed that's.

Yes, DTS has a great Defense but the level of play is not the same. This hope that DTS will save mankind or '04 overall is laughable.

spirit didn't do any better or worse than scott and Kenn. Sometimes shots fall and sometimes they don't.

Yea no idea if they will beat RASE if/when they ever play again. I think of all of the 04s they have the best chance but then again, if they don't who really cares. Being #1-5 or even 1-10 of the 100+ soccer teams in north Texas is nothing to be ashamed of.

Absolutely correct, I'd say DTS are at the head of the pack chasing RASE. I think we may now see some DD's trying to jump onto this RASE team from other top teams.

Funny how the scenario of how DTS would fare against RASE gets perceived as "theyre the only ones that can beat them."
All that's being said is that a Rase whipping of DTS would remove ALL doubt...that simple...
I understand if a RASE parent or fan, doubt doesn't exist, but to everyone else...even though it would be a rematch, its mayweather/pacquioa of THIS season. After that...if RASE wins...retire their jersey and ssee what team their players join when it come ECNL time.

So you know the RASE parents then? They believe they are unbeatable?

That's a rational statement...

BTW...you can't say you are better than a team that beats you once...you can say I'm coming for you in the rematch...but if they always hand you your tail and or give u a good schilackking the first time, then you can concede and respect andor hate that team.

Did u read or skim thru what I typed? I said that I would understand IF RASE parents or fans had NO DOUBT that no other 04 team could be victorious against them...if our team was undefeated I would feel that way.

fortunately the RASE group really isn't that concerned about the doubt. At no point did concern about kenn, scott, tx spirit ever come up. More of a concern of having the girls really pushed this season. If DTS provides that push then great if not the thats more for you guys than it is for us.
