YSR has very limited history so you cant really call that much. Look at play on the field. Colvin has beat Samba in almost every match yet those rankings have them lower? The local FBR has Renegades and Samba neck and neck for second. Unfortunately the 2 have only met on the field twice so far. Time will tell, but give those other teams some credit because there isn't a huge gap, its a very competitive top 5 or 6.

Those two teams beat renegades in every match, not almost. Colvin has beaten Samba but has also lost to them and tied while having the better record. I didn’t even see this post at first but it’s even more evident you have a personal issue with Samba. You don’t have to compare our team to yours to uplift your team. We can even compare records and level of competition as to why Samba would be ranked better than Renegades.

You are selling the close scores as if that’s really the case. I guess it is safe to assume that y’all barely beat Shepard 11’s and struggled with Ennis thunder. Just state a case for your squad and quit reaching for ours.

Any good match ups for week 2? I think Kernow Storm vs Fever Finger will be a good game and we'll get to see how Renegades Saldivar does against a team Texans Samba already played.

October 5 between Texans Scarfone vs Renegades Saldivar is a must watch.

I believe I have the same picks.

Still missing some scores but any surprises? I think the Fever Finger vs Kernow Storm result was a bit of a surprise but the rest seem about right.

Fever Finger also beat DKSC 10G - SIRAGUSA on Sat .

Those are surprising scores. After looking through a few Facebook pictures I did realize that approximately 4 players wear WTX headbands. Is it common for teams to pick up players from such great distances?

Fever United Does have a WTX Division.

I am also aware that FC Dallas has several divisions and Sting covers a few different areas as well. I’m just curious if that is where the trend goes as the kids age up? Is that something we more commonly will see? Consolidation of players from one club in one team with players traveling in? I’m still trying to learn the landscape of the game.

It's not uncommon to have "commuter" players coming in from outside the DFW area to play on DFW teams though it typically seems to be more isolated to the top 1 or 2 teams (DA, ECNL, DPL) of any particular club and will usually only include 1 or 2 players on any particular team (if any).

Agreed. I’ve yet to see it in the 09 girls group but it does grow a little more common as they get older. Typically it’s girls from OK or areas further outside Dallas (east/west Texas). I’ve heard this starts earlier on the boys side.

I think the sidelines... Samba’s sidelines act like the coach when things get close. 

Angeline you are a tad aggressive over some 8/9yr old soccer. Very stunning to see a parent calling out or stirring drama in youth soccer over rankings that hold no weight what so ever. 

Do you get a parent trophy or something if they beat these other teams? I’m sure with the talent ID pull, it was hard building those top 3 teams. Imagine a team who’s coach actually builds and develops their own team. Wouldn’t that be something to discuss. I’m sure your 10’s will be abandoned as the Other groups when things weren’t effecting the coaches reputation and high expenses properly. 

On another note, good luck to all the teams win or lose. Have fun and enjoy the competitive atmosphere that the Dallas area can actually provide opposed to other cities who have to travel and so on. 

1) Colvin
2) Samba
3) Renegades
4) FCD Heisser
5) BvB Diffrient

Barnes and Shepard are coming on strong as well.

Here are my picks. Teams after three are kind of hard to judge but there are a lot of teams getting stronger. Gotta love North Texas soccer.
1) Solar Colvin
2) Texans Scarfone
3) Renegades Salvidar
4) FC Dallas Hessiser
5) Solar Haylock

How long until the top 3 start falling off the FBR like 09 Voutier did because they played only boys though.  

Where is glotzbach Sting in all this JCL? Did they fold or opt not to play?

TxSoCcErFaNrOcKOn Someone on this thread made a comment about Sting Glotzbach. It’s on the first page. They didn’t think they could win, so they didn’t sign up. When they saw Renegades and Texans Scarfone in the same bracket, they tried to take another Sting’s place.

I would sign up just for the competition, whether I thought I could win or not. Instead, where do you go? PPL?

Jaybee8200, wasn't it TxSoCcErFaNrOcKOn who made the original comment you are referring to as it relates to Glotzbach?  If so, TxSoCcErFaNrOcKOn's latest question comes across as kind of odd since they were the first one to offer information about Glotzbach (true or not) that would seemingly explaining the very same question they are now asking about.

Yeah.......that general line of thought (not signing up because you don't think you can win) comes across as very counter intuitive towards developing competitive kids who are supposed to be training and performing at a competitive level in a competitive sport.

Word is that Glotzbach felt his team couldn't win so didn’t register. Then tables turned when he seen the top 3 teams weren’t properly placed. He and sting tried to sabotage Spence for their spot and got told to go fly a kite, in the rain for lack of better words.

I thought that team was going to be good too. What’s going on with that group


No way Colvin loses in that bracket.


Looks like you are correct Hat Trick Rick.
Maybe they just like to post and keep post going.

You could be right. There's no accounting for a lot of people's motivations on these message boards. Well............Except for FoxySoccerMom's........... her's seem pretty clear.......

You’re off the marker with this one as in regards to me. My post was in response to another thread. Sorry for your mishap.

True but that’s hear say. Didn’t know if that was a final. I heard Colvin had a few Sting players out to their practice, as well as another coach.

Never know these days it seems with everything as crazy as it is in youth soccer
