How did those FCD vs. DT GDA games go today?

A little rain at 60 degrees didn't stop you from playing on those FCD turf fields, did it?

Bock bock.

Where did Zizou and BigEgo go?

Winter is coming to an end. Looking for good weather and watching good soccer. How about you?

So what happened Zizou?

All those FC Dallas fields you've been bragging on, and you couldn't find one to play on?

bock bock

Why the dodge Ziz?  BigEgo?

Man, I have no clue.

Carry on, I'm going back to watching this @#$2$ show from the sidelines.  

I know it was late but it was ... respectable (which you generally are), not respectful.  

So how is this ...

"I'm still waiting for your smart ass response to my statement bubba", or this ...

"Face facts ... you just sometimes don't know every damn thing", or getting super personal by saying this ...

"If your momma read your posts... You would be under her skin as well."

demonstrating your being "respectful"?

Again -- I generally respect what you have to say so ...

What was is that you so adamantly thought I needed to respond to?  Why would I want to "discredit" Dorrance and Crooks to support any argument I have?  What facts do I need to face in which you are under the impression that I'm opposed to?

... and a new one ...

What "@#$2$ show" are you claiming to be watching from the sidelines?

I believe you're the only one that has ever answered a single question I have posed here ... Would love it if you'd humor me (not literally, just the figure of speech) with just a few more  

The @$_-. Show is what the forum has become in general... I'm sure we all love the witty banter of the trolls.

Not one single good debate can be had here anymore.

Man this board is still generating over 5 pages per topic even though the topic is repetitive. Just wait until after DGIC!! 10 pager for sure!!

If that was being super personal, I was simply trying to be funny... Then I had you pegged wrong all along... I really hope there is not another snowflake just added to the population.. lol

I thought the s&*# show was at one of the clubs. Until there are some real facts and not propaganda to market products that are or arent available is why this thread will be repetitive. I got plenty of time to keep asking what the landscape will be since none of the experts are privy to share or want to put the truth out there.

Truth, you can’t handle the truth. This is why we see the repetitive post time and time again.

AtThePitch wrote:Anson has been a vocal opponent of it since the day it was announced...

I would not call that late.  

Isn't you kid a junior or senior this year ziz... Great player, wish her well at the next level.

Thank you,

I just think the cards have already been played by both groups. A marriage at this point would only happen if the other decided to take a back seat. Good luck with that!

The truth will set you free Zizou we just need to know where we stand.

Or maybe you are just too chicken *LANGUAGE* to give a straight-up, honest answer about why your oh-so impressive club, with their oh-so impressive fields had to cancel DA games because they couldn't find available fields to play on.

I'll attempt to crack an egg on this one.. FCD rents out their turf fields to Frisco Soccer Association. FSA had games scheduled, not sure if FSA canceled their games but FCD had to wait on FSA is what I heard..

Gobble gobble.

Dude ... chicken ... bubby ...

You have to know how pathetic this attempt at a stab towards those that have kids playing at FCD is, right?  To be honest, this and any of your other recent inquiries aren't worthy of a response.  I'm literally embarrassed to be responding to this one, but ...

1)  FC Dallas Youth does not own the fields nor are they able to make decisions as to which fields are open and when.
2)  I've heard that the grass fields outside of #1 are closed until late March.
3)  The Texans refused to move games to Sunday ... they were "busy".

Agreed that the forum itself is a %$&# show ...

Do you ever get the feeling that the primary reason why this thing is so toxic, is that there are so many scorned parents on here with multiple logins spreading unfounded rumors based on widespread misconception just to stir up a bit of drama?  Hmmm ...

And when you really think about it, hasn't it always has been this way?  This begs the questions ...

If there hasn't been a "single good debate" here recently, when was there one?  What would make a great debate now?  Why don't you propose one?  If there were a good debate, would the forum cease being a %$&# show in your mind, and once again be up to your standards?

ECNL vs DA “WAS” a good debate...that dead horse has since been pulverized!!

How about “what is your daughters club doing to showcase your kid? How or why not?”

If you check the FSA site, you will notice that the season does not begin until this weekend.

Hell, back in the day I had a couple... those days are I can happily say long behind me. I found my happy place, learned my lesson, just enjoy watching my DD kick tail... who knows, but this space is no longer what it was.

There are many good debates that could be initiated, but sadly they would just be overrun by the trolls and then lead down that stupid black hole every thread does now.

Read a great piece this morning about the gentleman that actually helped Pullisic get to Dortmund... who was actually at Barcelona at 14, and the guy convinced his parents it was the wrong move... "Barca didnt pay for your flights over and hotel... they arent actually looking very hard at him"... he discussed how Christian would be stuck in USL right now if he had stayed playing for a club stateside... great discussion could be had from that...

but Im going to go and watch the local weather radar instead... freaking raining again....

What's the point of being surrounded by 10 beautiful fields that can't be used 6 months out of the year?

bock bock

What’s the chicken bit all about? Very interesting! I’m sure FCD and Lonestar will reschedule once the monsoon has passed.

Nice ATP --

And I think I read a similar Pulisic article recently.  I could be wrong, but I doubt there'd be much debate that he made the right choice going across the pond as a youngster.  Having parents with the professional means to get him exposed to big time training environments all over Europe certainly didn't hurt.

yeah, no one would debate he made the right move...

the debate is why he needed to make that move...

Im lucky to be able to say Ive spents some time at Barca, watched my kiddo training inside la masia, futsal, but was then able to speak with the coaches, one being the second man in charge of their 1st team... another now the 1st team coach... to hear their thoughts, the approach.. hell even the parents approach to the childrens development... eye opening.

spent time at local clubs in catalonia and spoken with those staff, and the relationships with what we call "independents" here have with the Barcas, espanyols of the world... refreshing... its a hand in hand relationship, holistic approach that mines the fields for those eventual first teamers...

now if only we had that kind of relationships built here...

ECNL working hand in hand with DA/the federation... which I do still here discussions are ongoing...

but Im not beating that !#@#$# horse again.

And the slide continues chicken --

"4)  FC Dallas Youth couldn't get their *bock* *LANGUAGE* *bock* together to get fields lined up for Saturday games as previously scheduled, and cancelled at the last minute."

Negative.  Matches were canceled on Friday morning after the Texans refused to go to Sunday.

"What's the point of being surrounded by 10 beautiful fields that can't be used 6 months out of the year?"

A little off on the numbers here but I get it.  And ...

My answer is I don't have the first clue. Maybe they are built with a super duper fancy sod that doesn't do well with a lot of use during cold weather.  And maybe the powers that be determined that opening them earlier last year led to too much damage. I'm an educated man, but I'm afraid I can't speak intelligently about the decision making habits of William Santiago. What I do know is that the games were canceled due to the Texans refusing to play on Sunday instead.  Now, are these the questions I was really called here to answer?  Phone calls and foot lockers?  Please tell me that you have something more, chicken.

What we do know is the landscape will change again this coming cycle, what we don't know is how.....It's all good stuff to stir it up.

These DDs are playing for their future and their lives. Please tell me their lawyer hasn't pinned their hopes to wet fields at Toyota Soccer Center....

Keep this up and I may change my opinion of you BigEgo... Nice work!

It's all Jerry's fault. He is so wrapped up in what Roger Goddell makes and why Roger cost Jerry his superbowl run by sidelining Zeke "the bobblehead" Elliott that he forgot to open the fields and line up his LLC with the Yankees concession money machine for the event. If Jerry would just stick to American Futbol and forget about his Arkansas insecurities by buying up half of Tejas the soccer world would be a better place.

I would have a lot more respect for Jerry and his cronies if they would DONATE the soccer lands for use and charge for maintenance and improvements only. It would be a nice tax write off with his sunk investment in the youth fields at Toyota and Moneygram (although not sure who owns that land fill).. or let him charge FCD for the entire Toyota complex with the stadium rental..
