D3

LP Owen vs LP Daglish.  Both teams coming off huge wins.  This will be closer than expected, I will take Owen 1-0

Dallas Rush vs FWFC:  Both teams coming off a loss, Two talented teams, I will take the physical power, size and strength of FWFC, 1-0

FCD East Red vs FC Premiere:  I wonder if Premiere will ever challenge anyone, FCD East Red should have enough to get atleast one goal, I will take FCD, 1-0

Mustangs vs Andro:  Andro can't seem to get enough goals to win, but is always keeping it close.  This will either end in another tie, or Mustangs will win 1-0

D'Feeters vs LP Thompson:  This is the first of a very tough set of games for Feet.  I don't think this team will have enough to stay with Thompson, I will go with Thompson 2-0

Sting vs D'Feeters 4-0 Feet in disarray
Solar Gio vs Texans 0-1 Texans sputter to a win
Solar Red vs DT South 3-2 Both teams have true playmaking power on offense

Sting Central vs Sting East...1-3...East too strong
Sting N vs Celtic...1-1...teams just feel even to me.
Waco vs FCD S Red...0-2. Waco struggling so far
Dynasty vs Beiber Beiber Fever..0-2. Dynasty hits wall as competition steps up

D3
LP Owen vs LP Dag 2-0....I have to think LP Dag 4 goals last time was an anomaly.
Rush Stark vs FWFC 1-0. Good match. Rush more together on Off.
FCD East Red vs FC Prem 1-0. Will FC Premier win a game this fall?
Mustangs vs Andro 2-0...changing of guard. Andro appears a mess.
D'Feeters vs LP Thompson..0-2. Thompson better at both ends.

D1
Sting vs D'Feeters 3-0 may be more than this
Solar Gio vs Texans 1-2 Gio keeps it close
Solar Red vs Texans  1-2 DTS wins in a close one.  Game of the week in D1 for sure
Rush vs FCD Premier 0-3 FCD to much for Rush right now
FCD Blue vs Andromeda 1-2 Coin flip, but I think Andromeda is the better team right now

D2
Cosmos vs Saints 0-4 continues rolling after their last 1-0 win over Dunston
Sting Central vs Sting East 1-2 Bounce back win for Dunston
Sting N vs Celtic 1-1 two even teams IMO
Waco vs FCD S Red 0-3 Waco is out matched and out classed in D2
Dynasty vs Beiber Beiber Beiber Fever 2-1 Game of the week for D2. Beiber Fever is prolly the better team but I am predicting an upset here

D3

Any scores?

Watching between 2 games...

Sting North was up 1-0 at half over Celtic
Sting Central was up 3-1 over Sting East at half

Both called at half

I also saw Gio was up on DT atleast 1-0. Their game was also called at half.

Saints - 6
Cosmos - 0

Sting 6-2 Dfeeters.  This team looks a little off. 4-0 at halftime. Coach plays to keep on second half and moves forwards to defend and defenders to the front.   Ugly wet fields even before the rain.

First of all, Sting '02 is a very good team. They have a very solid group of skillful players.  I believe that they may have added a couple of solid players who contribute now.

As for D'feet, there are too many new faces. It's going to take this half of the season for the team to know each others names.   They will continue to kick, scratch, bite and shove until their team comes together.

So when the game gets called at half, what is the protocol? Do they replay they whole game, 1/2 the game or is it final if it is called in the second half. Maybe a stupid question, just wondering

I believe you get rescheduled and start again as a new game.

I heard if called at Half, game is final.

LHGCL rules show restart.

3. Incomplete Games: Regular season league games that are stopped short for any reason, other than acts on the part of one of the teams, will be rescheduled and played in their entirety.

No I talked to LH official at my game today. Game has to be replayed. Does not matter when game is called.

Thought I'd never say this. Wouldn't even dare 4-6 months ago. Texans caught a break if indeed Gio was up 1-0.

True true if that's the case- anyone at the game to comment on the tempo? I mean were tx dominating with shots and one lucky goal get thru on Gio's team or did Solar dominate or was it 50/5O????
Aside from the first week srsa game
What has happened different in the Texan's camp to have them not scoring more goals??
I can see the srsa win- they have been practicing all summer came off a Labor Day tourney and are a top team - no offense to the other two. But texans didn't practice in summer except for CO tourney and they didn't play Labor Day. So that win makes sense to be . But to get beat by Rush - who I think is a good team , but not at same level and tie Gio- there has to be some shift to occur. I heard there were several missed open net goal vs Rush as well as a PK - but that happens in tense situation. Just trying to reason it out. Something has occurred to make Texans (who were once such a scoring threat) less offensive, any answers out there????
