Kicks just came off their second loss in three games and will take out their frustrations on FC Premiere Kicks 6 FC Premier 0
Real GP has four wins and one draw over last five games and are playing at high level. Their gave against Texans Craft this weekend will be a good measuring stick to see if they are for real. This might be the best game this weekend. 2-2 Draw.
Texans Faber will have a strong test against a surging Mexico team. See this being a lot closer than the standings would suggest. Faber 3--Mexico 2.

Thoughts?

What's going on with FC Premier? They had some respectable scores their first four games, a win and a couple of ties. The last three games they posted 7-0, 4-0, and 8-0 losses. Maybe injuries?

Not really sure other than most of the initial games were with teams also struggling this season. I am sure not having their best player from last year does not help. In past when I have seen them play, they have always been a kick and run team. I wonder who they now have up top to kick to. Their next games are against the third and first place teams so we will see what they can muster up.
