Remember, the rankings were all about having fun and no one really took them seriously anyway.

Actually, that's sorta my point. It takes more than assumptions.

It just further perpetuates the win at all cost mentality and does nothing but ramp up tensions on the sidelines when parents buy into this crap.

I does this for entertainment purposes. Bunited you continue to take it personal and be upset by me doing it. I know you don't like it or my opinions, but some do. If I didn't do it then all the board would be filled with your musings and crush like behavior towards Marcio.

I watched 5 games this past weekend in the 04 division, that's a prety good sample to have an opinion. If you have a different opinion then we all would live to listen or read.

I have nothing against you personally, 4TLG, just your methods. March on.

"I watched 5 games this past weekend in the 04 division, that's a pretty good sample to have an opinion."
I think someone is on to the secret of staying warm. I was freezing, someone needs to let me know how to stay warm enough to watch 5 games in below 40 degree weather with the wind chill on top of that. It was hard to watch 2 games this weekend.

I didn't say I was out in the elements for all 5 :-).

Gotta get use of my ski clothes sometime.

Hope you are referring to indoor games, because if you are sitting in your car watching a bunch of young boys run around through the zoom lens on your camera you are going to get hauled off.

1. DT Texans (Formerly DSC - playing in 03 and 04 leagues)
2. Solar Red (playing in both 04 and 03 leagues)
3. Odyssey
4. Andromeda Hiller
5. Liverpool Reina
6. Solar Chelsea Farley (playing in both 04 and 03 leagues)
7. Bandits
8. DT Rosales (playing only in an 03 league)
9. Wizards (playing only in an 03 league)
10. Leite United
11. Texans Manchester
12. Solar Partain
13. Texans South
14. Solar Red Tarrant
15. FCD Gomez
16. FCD Snell
17. FCD South - Tate
18. Mansfield Samba (playing only in an 03 league)
19. Azurri
20. TFC Volkan



Game of the week
#4 Andromeda Hiler vs #5 Liverpool Reina - good early season matchup in EAL. Andromeda Hiller has strong forward that will be tough for Reina to deal with. I expect Andromeda to bounce back this week and win 5 to 1.


Other top games
#2 Solar Red vs #11 DT Machester - Solar Red had a good first week and expect it to continue in week 2 in SDL. With Dynamo pulling out of the 04 division, there really isnt any competition left for Solar Red. prediction solar red wins this one easily

#3 Odyssey vs FC Bombers - first outdoor game for Odyssey this season, against a weak opponent expect it to be at least a 4 goal margin

#6 Solar Chelsea Farley vs #7 Bandits - Bandits tied their first game against Andromeda, I expect Bandits to continue their strong play this week and come out the better side this week against Solar.

#10 Leite United vs #11 Solar Partain - This will be a good test for both teams after both teams were beaten soundly against better teams last week. Prediction is Solar Partain pulls out a victory as Leite has lost most of their top players to other teams the past month.

What? No more DSC 04? I know they're playing in the 03 bracket at FCD, under DSC. They're the only 04 team invited to play in this developmental league.

You predict Bandits over Chelsea Farley yet you rank Chelsea above Bandits? Same with Leite v Solar Partain?

If you think 7 will beat 6 and 12 will beat 10, your rankings then seem odd?

I think the confusion may be stemming from the fact that Dynamo are now called Dallas Texans Academy (Pomykal). They still play '04.

DT Texans- Pomykal (DSC) off this week..

Still in 04 SDL

Thanks YB, when I didnt see them on the calendar I assumed (you know what they say about assuming) they had moved to 03 only.

Any given Sunday as they say, I think if the two teams were to play 10 times the higher ranked seed would prevail, but this weekend I predicted otherwise. If predictions were only determined by seeds then there would never be upsets. Think of college basketball there are upsets (even in womens basketball which is usually very predictable you have lower seed teams beating higher ranked teams...but the next week you dont necessarily have the lower seed ranked above the team they just beat).

Rankings are also based on last season, player movement, tournament results, winter, and first week of season.

as opposed to composite Castrol Indices of each U8 team?

If it wasn't a guess he would not have Farley rated so high...

Have we never heard of the definition of predictions people? Where the better team doesn't necessarily win? My spouse would have won a billion dollars by now if the higher seed won every time they bet on sports.

As a friend of mine once told me, SII. Good day.

With the best 04 coach for development alive and well, I thought I would do the crazy parent thing and focus on the near sighted and do the predictions for this weekend.

Game of the week

Dynamo (#1) vs Solar Red (#2) - what a matchup! I predict that Dynamo will win this one, their depth, superior skills and ability to score from outside the box will be the difference maker. Plus their keeper is a big advantage. Final score Dynamo 5 to 2.

Other games
Odyssey (#3) vs GSSC Thunder - Odyssey gets a cake game for their first Spring game. Odyssey a lot GSSC a little

Andromeda (#4) vs (#6) Solar Farley - good game here as both teams in their second game are looking for their first win. Andromeda forward (size and speed) proves too much for Solar. Andromeda 4 to 1

Liverpool Reina (#5) vs Bandits (#7) - another good game here as LP Reina looks to stay on top of the division. Bandits will prove to be the more aggressive team and eek out a win 3 to 2.

Leite (#10) vs DT Manchester - will be a good barometer for both teams. I believe Leite has enough talent left after the recent defections to pull out a win. 4 to 2.

Wizards and DT Rosales playing random 03 teams in their 03 leagues.

My only prediction is that Solar Farley will continue to be ranked highly given that 4theluvof thegame has an obvious bias with a kid on that team... I do like how he/she occasionally predicts a Farley loss to hide the bias The only thing you have correct... #1 and #2; after that it is any given Sunday.

Too funny - I think those that know me on here know exactly who my BB plays for (sorry to say its not solar, I do have bias towards him as we did try out 6 months ago but didnt make it). If you would like to know feel free to PM me and I can tell you all about our coach, our history with him, the teams we have played for in the past and any other things a loyal fan like yourself would like to know.
