What was the result?

Did not play the game, we were told that the solar coach did not want to play 3 games in one day. It was odd because most of their boys showed up. Disappointing, oh well.

Shows why the Brits can't get anything going in soccer - they are weak.

I know. My 03 played 3 games today, and a little bit in between the 3, so there!

Didnt want to play, or didn't want to lose? Either way, totally lame decision by the coach. How disappointing for the kids. Can only imagine what the parents think about that .

Do you want to know what is really lame? To schedule 3 games in a day!!
I was born overseas, lived overseas +25 years, and I have never heard of any tournaments where kids snd no kids play 3 games in a single day, sorry it is just ridiculous!
In this specific case, Solar boys were up between 5:30 am and 5:45 am to be able to make it to the fields at 7:00 am for their 8:00 game. They played another game at 12:30 pm, and they have to play another one at 4 pm....uhmmm no I don't think so....

Oh by the way.....how many games did Mr. Leo Maric played yesterday?, Yup.. that's right ONE and of course in the afternoon NOT at 8:OO am.

Now one last statement.....My Boy plays for FC Dallas not Solar, but I totally agree with Solars coach. Reschedule the final, be fair!

I don't disagree that this would have been a bit lopsided, and I don't disagree that 3 games in one day is a lot, but I am surprised at people's surprise every time this is mentioned. It is exceedingly common to play two of your three preliminary games on Saturday and the third on Sunday. If your team is fortunate enough to continue to advance, you will continue to play BOTH semis and finals on Sunday; hence, you will have to play THREE games.

Having said that, tournament officials do try hard to be sure teams within the same brackets play the same type schedule in the interest of fairness; however, that is not always possible with the larger tournaments, multiple brackets and multiple flights.

Hope it all works out for both teams in a fair and equitable way.

I agree that the scheduling on this tournamnet was very poor. I know if one coach that had 3 teams in the tournament and all his teams were scheduled to play at the same time and at two different complexes; however it is not uncommen to play 3 games in one day especially mini games. Also Solar had only one game on Saturday while the Texans had two, the last one at 8:30pm. Why did the Solar coach not ask right after the semis to have the finals re-scheduled? The schedule was known for a while and the one finalist was pretty much set in stone IMO. Take it as it is because life is not fair and the kids really don't care they just want to play.

As my bb said in the car, who cares we play each other like 3-4 times a year already. I get that coach has to look out for his team, I also know if you play tournaments in NTexas playing three games in a day is not uncommon. At 25min halves throughout by the time you get to the finals you have almost eliminated an entire game. I also know that the Solar 98 boys had no issues with it appears. They played 3 on Sunday and walked through the competition.




Again who cares at this point.

Blasphemy! JK. You're right.

Maybe you should go back overseas then.

It's a tournament, the scheduling sucked yes, but it was not biased towards the Texans. Look at some of the other brackets, our 99 Texans included. They couldn't even get the Texan coaching conflicts worked out and our team played 3 in one day as well. But that is no excuse, the kids want to play and win or lose it's just a tournament. More touches and experience for the kids. Solar is lame for forfeiting, plain old lame. Texans did a horrible job at scheduling, makes no difference.

another way to put this is that Solar 00 doesn't care about winning or loosing but about the players safety and rest.

Maybe they need to get in better shape.

Weren't the schedules posted ahead of time? That is, they knew the full schedule before they played the first game.
Not unusual to play 3 games in one day in North Texas Tournaments, specially during summer 100+ degree weather.
I am not sure I agree with the decision not to play. If the schedule was changed in the middle of the tournament, i see the point, otherwise, no sir, you play the game and hope for the best.
