FCD (Pino)....only scored 5 goals in D1 this past fall.....and today got drilled losing 0-4 to a D3 team? Any insight as what is going on with this team....they seem to have the talent, what's missing?

I was watching one of their games today. I heard a lot of chatter from the Fc Dallas parents on how terrible the coach is. This is the Fc Dallas "Premier" team. What gives?

both premier teams looked pitiful: 1-1-1 and 0-2-1. no fcd teams in the semi's. yikes.

was a bit surprised to see Stavrou's team do so well -- not knocking them. not sure if they had guest players or what... would be interested to hear about their games, tho.

No guest players for Stavrou's team, just a great coaching developing the team. D2 is a race between 4 top teams. Any team dropping from D1 this year should look at it as a multi-year deal. D2 top 4 can/will challenge all in D1. Would have been really interesting to see Stavrou take on Solar Red...guess all will have to wait for a future match up....

FCD terrible! Why do they charge this ridiculous fees for such mediocrity? These coaches have their pick of top talents. My kid & my friend kids were denied by these coaches. We've beaten all the Fcd teams & I pay half the price. What a Joke!!

teachers have a "pay grade" that is set by competition. supply/demand. not all teachers are good. having said that, not all students are teachable.

I heard that about Stavrou.

Don't think I agree with all of this after one season. Definitely agree that FCD Central and America America will provide D1 with good competition. As for Samba, Solar & Texans Badii (the latter 2 are tied at 14pnts each), I'm not sure they all are consistently better than FCD Premier and Mexico FC (7 & 8 in D1), unless Pino's team has just fallen apart.

Just my $0.02, but already looking forward to the thaw of Spring soccer.
