05G Games of the Week (Oct 22/23)

JDL

DTS Adames vs. FCD Red Baker

FCD Red seems to play better against better teams, but DTS' athleticism will be too much to contend with for 60 minutes.  I will be impressed if FCD gets more than 2 shots on goal all game.  

Prediction:  DTS Adames 5 FCD Red Baker 0

LHGCL D1

Liverpool Elite vs. Dallas Kicks Selecao

Kicks JM gave Liverpool Elite all they could handle a few weeks back, but Selecao is a whole nuther problem that I do not see them solving.  Two very different styles of play will clash here, but both are well coached teams that would likely be in the top half of JDL.

Prediction:  Dallas Selecao 2 Liverpool Elite 1

LHGCL D3

FCD East vs. FCD West

Makeup game.  Another exciting intraclub matchup.  Both teams started the season strong but the last 2 weeks have them both slumping.  FCD West (fka Andro West Blue) barely beat last place Solar Bourg and drew with #7 Waco United.  
 
Prediction:  FCD East 1 FCD West 1

GOOD LUCK TO ALL!

I honestly do not see DTS dropping 5 on FCD Red. Not that it could not happen I just don't think it will. FCD will imploy the old 6 back by the time it gets to 2.

LP and Kicks will be close.

FCD East vs West-Honestly who cares. It has become a 7 team race for second and it might not be either of these.

"Two very different styles of play will clash here, but both are well coached teams that would likely be in the top half of JDL. "

- Interesting statement - how would you describe each style of play?

What is the top half of JDL?  Do Liverpool and Kicks Selecao even play JDL?

They do not play in JDL....my point was if they did, they would both likely be in the top 5 of teams....along with DTS Adames, Solar Pulp, and Solar Colvin.

I think they play somewhat similar styles. I believe Kicks is the least direct of all the teams but I do not think they differ very much.

"Least direct", lol

"Least direct", lol. Both teams play good soccer.
Should be 2-1 for any team. Depends on how tight the refs call the game. None of them will be settling for a tie.

Not really a stat. It is more of a remark, a comment, statement, conversation starter, opinion, thought, page turner, sens de l'observation. You know its a forum.

Good point about refs.
If they let everything go, 2-0 Kicks.
If they call it tight, 4-1 Kicks.

LP v Selecao --> 3-1 Kicks... This game will be good. Both teams coached well. Similar styles, but Selecao moves the ball quicker.
DTS v FCD Red --> 4-0 DTS

Hypothetical.  Why?  Don't we have enough realities to deal with in life already......

So, if they played in Premier League where would they be?  Top 6 along with Man City, Arsenal, Tot Spurs, etc?

Cuz it's a forum.... it's all hypothetical. It's what makes it interesting.

I agree about the ref situation. I could see that if they call game tight it might flip your predictions. A little iffy that the refs can account for 2 goals though. Guess anything can happen.

My point is that if the game is extra physical without any whistles, LP can take kicks out of there rhythm offensively. Absolutely that could account for 2 goals. Not saying that LP is a physical team. Sorry if you took it that way.

I did not take it that way its cool. I think LP is a physical team. My response was more that both could happen in either ref situation. Just an opinion though I have yet to hear that either of these teams can be thrown off game by refs or physical play. DTS withstanding. But again anything can happen when two good teams play each other. On another note I believe it will be a low scoring game.

I disagree, kicks is very direct. Based on what I saw today and a couple of games ago, they are a mixture of possession and direct, I would say 70 percent direct and 30 percent possession. Look no one blames them, they are athletic and individually skilled but not too technical. I don't take anything away from them but they are far from a team that is tiki taka style of play.

That's the ultimate compliment, IMO.

Obviously you are entitled to your opinion but if they are very direct (70%) then does that make the other teams 90% direct?

Does anyone know any of the JDL scores from today?

Kicks Selecao best LPE 2-1 in what everyone said would be a blowout however all it did was make it a 2 horse race for the first half of the season.
So FCD East beat FCD West today 1-0 there by clouding the picture in D3 even further with mid season approaching.
And no one cares about a league that does not keep score apparently.

Oh, they care. They just started their own forum to talk about it. Guess you didn't get the e-mail, huh?
