I used arguably here because it has literally been argued.

Personally, I've seen plenty of all the Texans have to offer in the '03-'05 age groups over the years, just haven't seen the '04 ECNL group this year.  Given what I've seen from the '04 GDA (outside of GK), I assume that the '04 ECNL is stronger, but I've heard otherwise from those that know both of those teams there ... and they weren't all that 'tough to find' btw  

Those two teams are split....
If the best talent from both squads were to merge then the results would be or could be better depending on who’s coaching. The DA GK is in fact the real deal and she keeps all that she can at bay!!
ECNL 04 is down their best player due to injury and thats on the defensive side but I can’t seem to figure out why that squad isn’t fairing too well in ECNL. Should be much better than 8th place if that amount of talent is there like they say.

Does 58 Goals against in 15 games qualify as the real deal? I guess the standard for real deal in NTX isn't what it used to be.

They have two goalies jackazz...

No need to reply. Just let it marinate.

Even if you split the goalies 50/50 you get 29 goals scored against each.  That's still pretty rough.

That’s IF you split them 50/50...but you gotta see it to believe it.

Just curious if this has ever come up for these teams in a tournament that is this big. I know rules state committee can adjust games lengths at their discretion so the girls that can’t run very much in one day are protected but has it ever come up before.

They are all big girls.  They should be able to put off the rules for a week and survive playing in tournament conditions.  I know my DD can handle it if the soccer geniuses will let her.

It seems they'll have to prove it T Burger ...

Just rescheduled this evening's match for Thursday -- Which means pool play on Wed, Thur and Fri.  Could potentially play 5 straight days ... Holy Jeeez -- I hope their legs don't fall off!

On that, we can agree.

Better be a convincing W or there’ll be mayhem (verbally and in written form).

But why would this ^ be the case?  Sting ECNL and FCD DA have close to identical records and are both in 2nd place in their respective divisions.  Since it's been so vehemently argued that there isn't any difference between the two and that the level of play + competition are comparable, shouldn't this match be really close?  ... Perhaps a draw?
