Only saw bits and pieces as we played behind the elite/feet game and unfortunately lost in OT, but sure did look like alot of defenders for feet in second.  But was a nice win for feet. No one thought they could pull it off. Credit is due.

That's true, a win is a win. And we gotta give credit to Feet for getting it done no matter what it looked like. [/quote]


That's funny stuff. You gotta be kidding. A lot of defenders? What it looked like? Notice the crickets from Elite parents(except Go of course). That was a hell of a game. Both teams should be proud of that one. It looked like soccer. Plain and simple. But go ahead. Carry on......[/quote]

I have no dog in this fight. Guess you failed to read the part where I said I saw bits and pieces. Wow. Easily offended. Y'all won. Enjoy it.

Best statement on here is they are 10 yr old kids. Some days they come to play...some days they don't. It's fun to see some parody...because that's where it's headed. The key is to have fun doing it. That's where this all will change. Gotta be athletic and smart, but gotta love the game for yourself..not mom and dad. Lots will change in the next few years.

Not offended. I know what happened. I saw the whole game, but why a comment like that?

Several weeks ago RASE barely beat LFS White and Texas Spirit North. Today RASE got beat by D'feeters Black. The Gap is officially closed!!
There are many great teams in this age group.
I'm predicting that Texans, Sting, and Texas Spirit will all pull out wins against RASE in the near future. I think Dalglish could beat them as well, but you know LW would never let that happen.

What happened this time? I am guessing the bus was moving this time...

Who cares about "Upsets", "Parity" or Who Ultimately wins the Tournament???

I want to know how this Impacts that All LP Ice Cream Party, That was Penciled in for Later Today???

By the Way, Congrats to "Stinky" Feet.

I guess there's an upside, Premiere / Dalglish will have some really good guest players for the rest of the tourney :-)

Scott prevails!! 1-0

Does that make LP Elite #3?

Actually #4 (#5 if Premier beats DT in the finals)

actually still leave elite #1 LHGCL and scott #1 defacto unless premier wins

Does it really matter? They're just another very good 04 team along with the Scottie's, Spirit, Feet, etc. no gap anymore, no defacto anything. If you can pressure their D they'll resort to kick ball like most others headbands or not.

oh snap. Somebodies D just got called out.

Not calling them out, they're 10 and probably not used to playing under pressure. It'll be interesting to see what they can do against Scott and their sweeper as well. Makes those over the top balls much more difficult.

Just wish everyone would forget about the ranking BS, defacto BS and everything else that goes along with it.

Looks like Scott deservedly won the tourney all while giving up only 1 goal against some great competition. They should be congratulated along with all the other teams that played their hearts out.

RASE will be fine and people should get off their backs.

They have the potential to beat Scott soundly next weekend and give them some confidence going forward.

It shouldn't be very hard to see that there are 5 or 6 teams that can beat each other depending on the circumstances. This is what we as parents should be wanting as it does nothing but make our daughters better.

Congrats to Scott for winning, congrats to Premiere for a great showing, congrats to Feet for beating Elite and congrats to Elite for setting the bar.

Only thing that could have made the weekend better was if Spirit would have played but still a great weekend of soccer without them.

We'll put! Congrats to all teams.

Yes well put! Congrats to all. The good news is more great soccer is on the way!

Just to clarify for all you little sensitive men out there, that means beat the team.

Easier said than done but it can happen.. I appreciate you trying to gather the masses for a "SPIRIT-ual" opportunity.  Just let the chips fall where they fall.

Might there be a Bannockburn this weekend.

Yeah thats right I called it, a Scotts victory over the English this weekend.

Anyone can win at any time. The "Bear" has been shot. Elite parents talk the trash and now it is quiet and deflect. Thought you were best team in the country. Nobody is at this
age. Great tournament.

No deflecting and yes anyone can win anytime but come back when you can continue to win because not everyone can do that. It was a nice run that ended this weekend and starts over tomorrow. And just so we are clear I don't know if we are the best in the country because I haven't seen them just the better than your team (because otherwise you would be too busy winning to carry around all that bitterness)

No bitterness just joy. How can you say you had a streak when you did not play any of the quality 04 girls teams over the last year.

actually played and beat the team we just lost too so thats one quality team. Unlike you this team does enough winning to take joy in its wins and not have to look to the losses of others for it. Enjoy it while you can because if thats your joy it will be a long bitter year for you

I don't rely on my 10 year old soccer team for my joy? Too many other things in life.
