Okay what's the scoop on the castro boys, why so low? Heard solar lost a couple of strikers but picked one up from castro but is it enough to keep them on top?

Take a look at Oklahoma beat the heat tourny, It looks like FCD/REV. beat solar red in final. Might want to readjust your rankings.

Why should Solar Red be 1 or 2? they lost to Rev last week. Ok, may have been a fluke; maybe 2.
Why should Solar colorless be 1? Answer: It's Tradition.
Andro. Waiting for the fall. Fall season or the crash? Didn't follow you here.
TFC: How can they be too high? I put them as low as they can be for this fall.

Pumas aren't too low, they put themselves there. Should have raided those players sooner.
FCD Blue. They said they would be D3 this year too. If too high on this list, they certainly won't be worse than last year.
FWFC-they have been getting it done; but the upper half of D2 would be a big step.

OCU. Benefit of the doubt. At least they have D2 experience.

Here is my prediction:

D1

1.Solar
2.Solar Red
3.Androdrama
4.DT
5.Rev/Fcd
6.Tigres
7.TFC Royal
8.RM
9.kicks
10.TFC

D2

1.Pumas
2.DTR
3.Liverpool/CC
4.Hurst United
5.Tejanos
6.FWFC
7.FC Dallas Blue
8.Horny Orange
9.Liverpool
10.Horny Gold

I don't know much about D3 so can't make comment on it.

I would also be curious to know what happened..they played up in the recent AYSES tourney in the 97 bracket. we saw that they were state cup champs and were expecting them to be very strong competition. Turns out they did not win a game at all and we were surprised. Dont think Castro was too happy about it

Its good to be ranked low! It just makes those trying to guess look uneducated when the season comes to an end. A team finishes top 4 and only misses the next level by 2 games (with all but 3 players returning). Might spend a little more time looking at May tourney's. Hats off for giving it a try though! I guess we will see what happens.

A different look (I guess it is my uneducated guess on how things will pan out)

I find this portion of this post very interesting! I think that it is good to be in the role of the underdog! I specially think the part of the coach is really interesting, since he did bring this team into classic and has kept them in the upper half of D3. Now I know that he does not have the player pool as some of the coaches in Dallas have. So will see what he does with his team. Did anyone find out what he gained or lost?

Now I am no expert but I will give it a try.
1. ASG West
2. OCU (not sure if they reloaded w/new talent)
3. ASG GOLD NORTH
4. ANDRO
5. MUSTANGS
Now I believe ASG West is the team to beat, so it is up to them to stay up at the the top. Both ASG team had trouble in Beat the Heat Tour. West went 1-0-2, North 0-1-3.
The next four spots can change from week to week, that would also include the 6 spot and the 7th spot.(Sleepers)
6. LH
7. DTW
8. TX BLITZ
9. WACO
10. AZURRI
The bottom half can change also but anyone can beat anyone on any given day. Azurri had trouble with players last season and unless they gained some talent to the team I do not see them doing well. LH is one of the teams to look out for based on what they did in the spring season. But people we can specualte who went were and who gained new talent? The great thing is we will see once the season starts. See everyone on the pitch. [i] In the end every team has to perform and the coaches have to make the correct moves to be succesful in any division.

Kicks, TFC Royal, Pumas and DT all scrimmaged this weekend.

Pumas (beat TFC Royal 2-1, beat Kicks 5-3 and tied DT 1-1)
DT (beat TFC Royal 4-2, beat Kicks 4-0 and tied Pumas 1-1)
Kicks (beat TFC Royal 4-0)

Although this is just a "friendly scrimmage but wow . How can TFC Royal lose that bad? I know they loss some players but their defense allows so many goals. Diego is going to need another vocal cord if this type of results keep on happening .

Wow, sounds bad for Royal unless they had some key players out of town or something.

Just don't see how Rev will jump all the way to 4th... especially with the loss of 3-4 players to Pumas. I am sure they will be tough as every other team in D1 but not top half.

maybe they picked up better players?

Well, they did knock off SR in tournament a couple weeks ago. Don't know the story on that game, but seems to show upper half of D1 is possible
