You will see that it quite accurate. Secondly, I guess it depends what rec leagues you are familiar with. Many of the teams outside the top 30 have lost in tournaments to top rec teams from mesquite, waco, and many other rural areas that come here looking for better competition. So to pretend that any team in the 50'same is so superior to any recommendations team is crazy.

Yes it is, academy soccer for this age group is full of teams that should be playing REC, this is going to be the age group you will really start seeing the business aspect of academy soccer...if you are willing to pay, clubs are willing to take you..I would say any team below let say 20th would struggle playing against rec teams

Ok so I pondered on responding to this or not because I feel like 'soccerdadx1' may be just fishing here to get a rise out of someone.  Well obviously it worked.  I can't help myself on this one so here goes...   I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish by saying that "any team below 20th would struggle playing against rec teams" because that is absurd.  We are ranked 54th, for now , and I have all the confidence in the world that playing against a REC team would be a joke.  I guess I am just curious as to why you would purposely go out of your way to offend "teams below 20th" by saying they basically belong in REC leagues.  You obviously either have zero clue about the competition level (yes even in the 50 ranks) or you are just trying to stir the pot.  Either way, I took it offensive and I look forward to our team playing whichever team you are cheering for.

---Aaron Ives...out

My daughter plays on a top 12 team right now, we have played teams below the 50's and the game was over before half time. Have you even seen any of the current top 4 teams play Aaron? I myself would look forward to seeing how you fair against any of those 4 teams.. I will assure you, that game would be over in about 10 minutes of play. Those 4 teams play at a whole different level than anyone I would say ranked 9th or lower... So for your enjoyment, I think I will cheer for Liverpool Toshack...Good Luck

So win you say a top 12 team, I'm assuming they're #12.
