Damn....this guy is a more articulate version of myself...except y'all know my affiliation. He is getting a rise out of y'all like Ole Skool Soccer PoBoy!!

And honestly, there was no abusing RASE back then...only ridicule to "try" and get y'all to somehow comeback... GO99 was at onetime a lone soldier in defense of all things RASE and posted with confidence that RASE was "beyond the pack" but now the ELITE masses post with an agenda of something to prove and can't sit back quietly and confidently to let Spirit bask in their present glory. GO,PPP,Son....funny thing is, everyone knows who #1 is...y'all just act like y'all forgot.

You have been my Mr. Miyagi...

...with plenty of warm Sake!! or is it saki?

This may be my ignorance, but once everyone signed their contracts, did their qualifying and August 1st hit, didn't the whole ranking system reset at that point? So now, there is no defacto until everyone meets on the field and plays several times over the next 12 months? In D1 everyone plays each other once per season (D3 is twice per season) which means as of August 1 everyone is playing for the same thing right? The Defacto #1 spot? And it is my understanding that now that the clock has reset, no one is considered defacto, now it's all proven on the field of play correct? Is this the reason for the frustration? The proof won't be in the pudding until the end of the season? Assuming, of course, that both defacto's win every game prior to the big meeting in LH league play. I guess the Defacto #1 wants a crack at the Defacto #1 to prove, up front, who the Defacto #1 is instead of letting it all play out during the league play?

Personally? I like watching how hard these girls play in the top 10 or so teams. Some have better skills or better possession ability but the heart these girls use while playing is astounding. Every ball is played as if that ball is their sole source of energy. The way they just "get" to the ball, every time, no hesitation, is an awesome spectacle. My DD loves watching it and strives to play that way, so in short, those players set the tone for the rest in the 04 Girls LH 30. I enjoy the fact that my DD had played against many of these teams, not RASE, but quite of few of the top 10 teams and has enjoyed it, while others just don't have the mentality for it yet which proves the point that some girls mature athletically, quicker than others. Will she be RASE or Spirit 04 quality in the future? Depends on her and completely on her but she is definitely striving to reach that mentality so the bar has been set for her, we'll see if her body of work translates to the kind of play she's wanting to achieve. She's got plenty of time to achieve it. Of course, I think my bank account is suffering a little but then again, I hear you can't plug that leaking sieve no matter what their age.

I predict DT Scott over LFS Black....... DTS and sting G play for 3rd. Sorry Oklahoma, but I just can't see you guys beating any of the top teams.

Is LP RASElite even going to play 04 girls in this tournament?

Yes they are

Ok. I'll take them to win this tournament. I mean, as long as Tx Spirit isn't playing.

Bwaahahaha...love it!!

Without the #1 ranked team in the Metroplex, I guess everyone else is just playing for second place.

I thought Spirit parents kept away from this forum?

Well looky loo. There's a new sherriff in town.

That's why those points become important if you want to be part of the top level in national tournaments. Thanks for proving my point.

You're welcome.

It goes with the territory. The so called #1 team has been dodging everybody for years.

Everyone knows FBR trumps gotsoccer.

Wow...I figured LFS Black would knock off Rase by the end of the year, but White beat them to the punch.

Apparently this is chest not checkers...

Chests, Heineys! Wonder what's on your mind.

Let it be written, that on this day 8/14/14. LFS White is the number 1 04G team in North TX, Spirit is still #1 on FBR. It all changes so quickly. Since Spirit and LFS White are not playing in PLD, they should keep these spots for awhile. Well done.

Does that mean Rase has now fallen to #3 in NTX?  Who would have thought that a few months ago?

Give them a few minutes to start complaining about the gotsoccer rankings. Apparently they have another ranking system.

Gotsoccer are still applying points so it's incomplete. Unicorns; elite are still undefeated against 04's and have yet to concede a goal against them for a while. I'd guess the last time they conceded one was a 4-1 victory against y'all?

I think Premier will also be in PLD so will we get an all LP championship game?

No

With that body of work, you would assume they would be number 1, but they aren't....must be other reasons..style points maybe? Who is Y'all?
