Andromeda Red v. Texans Craft - As much as it hurts, I have to give the nod to the Texans for now and hope we prove differently.
Solar v. Solar Red -
Barcelona v. Texans South
Atletico Madrid v. FCD Suarez - Atletico is playing well and on a roll. Toss up here.
FCD Gold Figueroa v. ASG Gold - Another toss up.
CC Orange v. Comets Blue
FC Force v. Chivas
Gunners v. Texans Red
FCD Blue v. Tyler Azzurri - Don't know much about Tyler but Blue has to prove me wrong.
FCD South v. Fort Worth FC - Didn't realize this was the Saavedra team. They will be FWFC.

I agree with all your picks except for the Madrid over FCD(suarez) they will not take Madrid lightly and they just seem to have their number!

Gonna go out on a limb here and stick with Andromeda. Craft hasn't really played a team of that quality in a long time and their heads are WAAAAAAY too big. Might catch them napping.

Funny, but I think Andromeda will win, too.  Just a feeling, now if omega man weighs in, then I'm not so sure of my pick.

Actually, I take back my pick.  I saw Andro play twice this weekend and I  think Craft will keep his crown.

I think I will take Andro red for the win! I also think Madrid might sqeak past FCD(suarez) they are hurting with player injuries in the right spots! sorry FCD I still hope you win but it's hard to do with injuiries like your boys have!

Interesting weekend. Barcelona beat Solar Red, Solar and FCD. Those are the number 2, 4 and 6 in the CL rankings. They lost to Texans (#1) last weekend and play DTS (#2) this weekend. If they continue to play well over the next few weeks, especially against DTS, you would have to consider them top ten before long.

opps - I meant to say DTS at #3. Sorry.

What are you smokin...Top ten before long?? They just beat 4 of most of these experts???? top 6. That's brilliant thinking on your part. I think they have pretty much earned a top 5 ranking!

CLUB31 wrote:What are you smokin...Top ten before long?? They just beat 4 of most of these experts???? top 6. That's brilliant thinking on your part. I think they have pretty much earned a top 5 ranking!

I think everyone said the same thing about FCD Copa and Gunners a few months back, give it a few more games before you crown them.

Perhaps they will end up top 5, but my bet is against it. Say what you want, but in a long tournament a couple of guest players can make a big difference. They carry 13 which means they normally only have a couple back-ups and who knows how good. A couple nice guest players not only gives you added fire power, but the capability to sub in and out and keep legs fresh, where you may not normally be able to do that with your regular team. So lets see what happens this weekend against DTS and go from there.

I would agree with most of that if the game would have been a close battle..1-0,2-1 2-0. The problem with your argument is they beat FCDallas(SUAREZ) and Solar 4-0. I am not sure if you are aware of this but that's like a score of something like 31-0 in american football terms. Those games were not close and I find it hard to believe that 2 guest players(we don't know how much they played or their level of play) made that big a difference. It is decided on the field not in the teams names(Solar,FC) and it is clear Barcelona is a much better team than those they played this weekend. When they beat TexanSouth this weekend I figure you will find another excuse.

Soccer matches, like many other sports, has alot to do with match-ups. Have you never seen the top teams or tennis player, or whatever, that are unbelievable but sometimes have a difficult time against teams they should just drill? Matchups! And if you think guest players don't play a big role, you are nuts, and why then did Barcelona get them in the first place? I'm n ot making excuses, I could care less about Barcelona to be honest with you. They seem like a nice little team, I'm just saying lets give it time to see just how good. I will make no excused if they win or lose to DTS cause frankly it doesn't much matter to me. But if they beat DTS this weekend, I will certainly be impressed but if they lose, perhaps the guest player thing may have had something to do with it???

Barcelona can win without their guest players. I just took a look at the tournament game pictures and kept counting 14 players, so I don't know if they played with 14 or 15 this weekend. They might have had one hurt player, don't know. For the easier games, I noticed the coach let his weaker players play most of the game. They will easily make the top seven.

Not totally sure about that prediction but I think they will make the 9th or 10 spot! I know that they had at least 2 guest players and damn good ones at that! like I said lets just see how they do during the season good luck to them!

You sound like you love Barcelona, why didn't you just sign with them in lieu of the Comets? One thing is for sure, Barcelona should finish much higher than the Comets will.

Because in the end, it's the BB who decides. This year, next year, and many years to come. He goes wherever he wants because at this age, playing with friends mean a lot to these guys. However, I can say that he's making friends on many teams now, so it's not going to be difficult for him to adjust anywhere. As for me, parents are a huge plus or minus, so I tend to weigh in a little bit if there's a tie-breaker.

Bias and hope on the first pick! We agree on most of them except for FWFC, I gave them the advantage because they played several games this weekend and FCD did not.
