Re: Plano going back to 10, 10, 10 divisions
That is very true, and I suspect almost everyone involved will either go IN thinking that or come OUT thinking that. In a season or two it won't matter, but the format change is going to have some bumps. I think that a bunch of those teams are very close to each other in talent, so it will make for some very competitive games...of course if you are better than everyone else, just win!Soccerdood wrote:Dad,
Agree with your thoughts. I checked and it's $355 including referee fees. If a team does not play in PPL and no bye then they are automatically placed in D3. It's a cheap tournament although only 3 games. Might as well play in the tournament for the experience and team evaluation.
10-10-10 is great but having only 1 spot to earn into D1 is a little harsh. Too much left to chance with only 1 opening and no head to head play from the four #1 seeds. A tournament with playoffs and a champion would be more realistic and more exciting for the teams.
I also agree that a championship bracket would have solved it on the field.

..easy now...you lot are getting out of hand. ..fact is the biggest detriment to playing in PPL is Russell Creek.....did it for years in a former life.... If a team is trying to play the 'right way'...pass the ball to someone wearing the same colored shirt, keep possession, actually trying to play soccer.. etc ..then playing in that wind tunnel is just soul destroying.InaB wrote:Ok, I blame it on the Channel 11 Weather guy!

Seems to me that controled passes on the ground and trying to maintain possesion of the ball is the best way to off-set the wind. Your "soul destroying" comment apears to run counter to your argument.

I don't know about Xtreme Soccerdood. Almost all of their good players moved to Solar Silver and currently their team is mostly 01s playing up.Soccerdood wrote:
Forza and Xtreme would be a close 3rd and 4th choice.

Agree, that would probably take them out of the running.soliloquy wrote:I don't know about Xtreme Soccerdood. Almost all of their good players moved to Solar Silver and currently their team is mostly 01s playing up.Soccerdood wrote:

Maybe you should get a clue about this game...Seven wrote:Maybe you should try indoor...as long as the AC is not turned up to high you should be good to go.

Good for Robin! She works hard and is great with the girls. Which LP team did she get girls from? That will be a tough group!over50punt wrote:Rumor has it a new team named inter stars united appears to have some hidden talent. Apparently, they have recruited 4 players from Sting Ferretti and 4 from Liverpool. In a recent scrimmage beat a LH D3 team. This may be the one to watch.

Is this their 99 team? If so, and the scrimmage was recent, the scrimmage ended 0-0.over50punt wrote:Rumor has it a new team named inter stars united appears to have some hidden talent.
