99 Who will make D1 ?

Ok, 3 weeks wasn't enough, is 7 or 8 games now enough to make a determination........?

Andromeda - In

ASG - Out

Atletico Madrid - Has shown the potential but is on the decline?

Barcelona - Should be In.

Chivas - Yet unproven, will need to beat some tough teams to rack up points.

Club Classic - Shows signs, but will they have enough?

Comets - Should be In.

DT Craft - In

DT Red - On the rise.

DT South - In

FCD Blue - Out

FCD Gold - Improving but not enough horsepower to make it.

FCD Suarez - In

FCD Saavedra - Much like Atletico, has what it takes but will need some wins.

FC Force - Out Out Out

FWFC - Out

Gunners - Out

Solar - Should be in, but better start scoring some goals or else.

Solar Red - In. Should keep getting back to form.

Tyler - Out



If my money was on the line, I would pick as follows;



In: Andro, Barca, Comets, DT Craft, DTS, FCD Suarez, Solar, Solar Red



Remaining 2 spots; Atletico or Chivas or CC or DT Red or FCD Saavedra



Could surprise for a spot; Gunners

Is ASG that bad ?? What happened there ?

What happened to ASG is too bad IMO. If that team stayed together, they would certainly be at the top right now. They have simply lost too many players and I don't think they have the players to beat many of the better teams (which they have not played yet). That coach is good (may be the best at game strategy and adapting to games) and is getting alot out of the kids he has, but it will not be enough.

The rain has really hindered alot of the teams this season. Not only in the 99 age group, but others across the board as well, and I do believe more parents and coaches will agree with this as a fact. The ASG 99 team may look like they are out, but I would not count on it. The last two losses they had, key players on offense and defense were not on hand due to illness. There have been some other dynamics that have come into play a factor, but the coach has addressed these items and the team is going in the right direction now. Below are the current standings, with most teams having played 7 games. With ASG, they currently have 8 points and 12 matches left to play. If they win 6 and tie 3 and lose 3 they should still be able to make it with a point total of 29 points. If you take the two teams out with 8 matches played, that puts ASG back into 11th, and if they beat Azzurri, that puts them at 11 points and keeps them around 11th unless there is an upset above them which could keep them in the same position at the end of this Fall session. All in all the season still has a ways to go till we reach the end in the Spring. Top players will break legs, arms, and sprain ankles on teams across the board, therefore causing a possible shift in the standings again. All I can say is this, "Support your Players!". This is about player development for future purposes, and not who has the best team. Teams do not get scholarships, players do when the recruiters come around 6-7-8 years from now. In the mean time, hope the low point total teams prove everyone wrong down the road. Also, if I had to guess, Axxman, you are an Andromeda parent with a bad taste in your mouth for ASG. Maybe because you played on the ASG team before and the bitter taste of resentment will not come out of your mouth. Alot of the top players use to play for ASG in this league from what I understand, so this is not a suprise if you're player is one of them.

Whoa there my dear Watson. Yes I am an Andromeda parent but I have no bad taste in my mouth over ASG an we never played for them. We at one time came close to joining them and I know a bunch of those x-players you are referring to, but that's where it ends. I'm simply calling it like I see it and that's it. Where did I say anything negative about ASG (in fact, I think I complimented your coach) to make you think I have a bad taste in my mouth, other than to predict they would not make D1? If they do what you say they will all the more power to you and kudos to ASG, but I still think it will be a struggle based on the teams they have yet to play. We should play you within the next week or two, I'll give you a better assessment then (hopefully all your players will be there). Until then, you better keep up with your predictions because I've already heard rumblings of a player or two looking for possible teams next season. Good luck.

Your rumors are true, but if anyone does leave, it will not hurt the team. It could in fact hurt your team, because that is where they are suppose to be going, and maybe a child or two that is playing now will be benched because of the move. Any word on that? Why do you think players leave ASG teams? Honestly? This seems to be a pattern with all ASG teams, especially the 99 boys. If you know, please share, because I do not see it myself. I thank you for your comments about Coach Alphonse as well, but if he is one of the best then why do kids leave him? Also, thank you for your honesty ahead of time.

ASG still has a stinggy defense and I think they will be in the mix before it's all over. The kids on that team seem like a good group. The parents are another story. I would suspect that might have something to do with kids leaving that team.
When the top 2-3 players jump ship off teams in the bottom 10 the 99 group of D1 teams next year will be a battle every week!

Coach Alphonse is one of the better youth coaches in the area. He has re-built that team now for the third time, and I expect them to get better and better as time goes this year. The parents are not the problem, IMO. The first group left for all individual reasons - it was not a group thing. In fact, most did not know what the other was doing until it was all said and done. And you are right, once a couple leave then everyone gets scared that they will be the only one left so the dominos all fall.

Now you bring up a subject that will get more than a few around these here parts a little excited. We'll have to discuss your questions in person someday because I'm not sure there is one answer or a right answer for that matter. I have always been a huge fan of the smaller clubs such as ASG and Riverplate (now part of Andromeda) because in most cases there is less politics involved and it's more about your bb (to an extent) and the coaches are phenomenal typically. Unfortunately the biggest factor is us parents, which think we know it all, are way too greedy, etc. etc. I have been thru it, and in 99% of the cases, the parents are the reason for the team break-ups. They don't like what position their bb is playing, or they are not the best on the team anymore, or they don't like so and so, or fill in anything else you can think of. Then you have the lure of the big clubs and all the promises they can provide. Just wait, if your bb is a difference maker, it will get worse. The small clubs and worse yet the independants, regardless of the coach, have little chance to survive in the long haul. So if you can't beat them, you almost always have to join them. All I know is this, if teams like ASG would stay together, they certainly would be at the top of their class today and laughing at the big boys. I respect your coach and he must do things right, cause most of the players that left are top players on teams, including ours.
As far as your other comment, not sure about kids leaving your team to join ours, but we are not perfect by any means, and if players that are better than kids on our team come along, then what always happens will run its course. I'll tell you one thing, they'll also be joining a hell of a coach.

What!! Josema left a bad taste in Pamela anderson mouth, buyt she has a tattoo of Axxman that she shows off when she plays the drums?

In all seriousness it does come down to the parents. They will continue to move from ASG to other bigger, higher ranked teams. You get to say how your bb is on this or that top team. It's wins losses and reputation not about a great coach and development. Shouldn't really happen until about 14 or so but that's the way it is.

I am new to boys Classic league. I am more familiar with girls Classic league. How many teams are relegated to D2 at the end of the year? Where do the other D2 teams come from? The relegation process occurs at the END of the year (in April), correct?

A loss to the Comets 2-1 that should have been more like 5 to 1? Are you still sticking with your predictions? One more in the loss column makes your mathematical odds a little worse. Tic....tic......tic.....
Don't go the path of 99srule, he's now disappeared after his FWFC predictions haven't faired so well, and they still have Suarez and Solar Red left. But I forgot, they're just as good.

A$$man, I am sticking with my prediction, but with a little change. Monday November 16th, 2009, Andromeda vs ASG (99's) 3-2 ASG. New Prediction 7-3-2. This will be a game to watch. Emotions will be high. Good Luck and may the best team win!!!
The score is what it should have been. Both teams played tough and we had good refs. There were only 4 shots on goal that even came close. If we want to compare shots on goal only, ASG would have won 7-5 according to my stat book I kept. Anyway, good game Comets. Also, the last ten minutes of that game was a turning point for the ASG boys. They have been struggling for several weeks, but it was like they figured out how to play together again, and think that there are some Comet parents that would agree the game had a different feel for the last ten minutes. I still wouldn't count ASG out of D1, we still have alot of games to go before May.

I would , unless ya got a lug wrench.

Not only in the 99 age group, but others across the board as well, and I do believe more parents and coaches will agree with this as a fact. The ASG 99 team may look like they are out, but I would not count on it. The last two losses they had, key players on offense and defense were not on hand due to illness. There have been some other dynamics that have come into play a factor, but the coach has addressed these items and the team is going in the right direction now. Below are the current standings, with most teams having played 7 games. With ASG, they currently have 8 points and 12 matches left to play. If they win 6 and tie 3 and lose 3 they should still be able to make it with a point total of 29 points. If you take the two teams out with 8 matches played, that puts ASG back into 11th, and if they beat Azzurri, that puts them at 11 points and keeps them around 11th unless there is an upset above them which could keep them in the same position at the end of this Fall session. All in all the season still has a ways to go till we reach the end in the Spring. Top players will break legs, arms, and sprain ankles on teams across the board, therefore causing a possible shift in the standings again. All I can say is this, "Support your Players!". This is about player development for future purposes, and not who has the best team. Teams do not get scholarships, players do when the recruiters come around 6-7-8 years from now. In the mean time, hope the low point total teams prove everyone wrong down the road. Also, if I had to guess, Axxman, you are an Andromeda parent with a bad taste in your mouth for ASG. Maybe because you played on the ASG team before and the bitter taste of resentment will not come out of your mouth. Alot of the top players use to play for ASG in this league from what I understand, so this is not a suprise if you're player is one of them.

A loss to the Comets 2-1 that should have been more like 5 to 1? Are you still sticking with your predictions? One more in the loss column makes your mathematical odds a little worse. Tic....tic......tic.....
Don't go the path of 99srule, he's now disappeared after his FWFC predictions haven't faired so well, and they still have Suarez and Solar Red left. But I forgot, they're just as good.

A$$man, I am sticking with my prediction, but with a little change. Monday November 16th, 2009, Andromeda vs ASG (99's) 3-2 ASG. New Prediction 7-3-2. This will be a game to watch. Emotions will be high. Good Luck and may the best team win!!!
The score is what it should have been. Both teams played tough and we had good refs. There were only 4 shots on goal that even came close. If we want to compare shots on goal only, ASG would have won 7-5 according to my stat book I kept. Anyway, good game Comets. Also, the last ten minutes of that game was a turning point for the ASG boys. They have been struggling for several weeks, but it was like they figured out how to play together again, and think that there are some Comet parents that would agree the game had a different feel for the last ten minutes.

Do you call me A$$man because I'm on the money, or cause you know that's the type of women I like? I'm surprised to see such long posts from you, when you could be taking care of the wife, not wasting time bantering with people like us. Funny you jump on the development wagon, seems to happen to the ones that can't win right now. I guess it's your only hope. Dream away Mr. Optimist.

The numbers through 8-9 games, enjoy! Teams 1-10

Statistically speaking, Andro and DTS look pretty darn close. Should be an interesting game when it happens.

Agreed, Andro v. DTS will be a fun game. DT games against DTS and Solar Red will also be fun.
Also, curious to see how FCD and Comets will do against DT, DTS, Andro, Solar and Solar Red!

These stats are great. Thanks for sharing that eight ball. The 2 shockers seem to be ASG falling so low and Barcelona climbing up so quickly. Aside from that it is finally quite logical. Saturday, ASG should better beat Azuri if they want to save that 1st half of the season !

These stats only show half of a season and certainly don't take into account any strength of schedule or remaining games. And before anyone accuses me of bashing teams or kids, I want to clarify that the following is an example only. Comets still have five of their toughest games remaining in Craft, Solar Red, Texans South, Andromeda, and Suarez. FCD South ties everybody so they should be careful with that game too. By contrast, FCD South has a few tough games in Craft , ASG & Comets and a relatively smooth schedule after that. My point is, the first half of the season doesn't tell us much about the top ten when you factor in remaining games to be played. I think we'll definitely know after the next 10 to 11 games.

Remaining 2 spots; Atletico or Chivas or CC or DT Red or FCD Saavedra



Could surprise for a spot; Gunners

You're not serious about the "DT Red - On the rise" comment They are in 17th place- they have lost their last 2, lost 3 of their last 4, and will lose to Crawford and likely lose to Atletico Madrid which means they will still have only 7 points going into the next half of the season. Are they "on the rise" only because they held the mighty Andromeda to 2 goals? Is your team really the guage by which all other teams are judged?

Someone told me the magic number is to win 10 games to stay in D1. If that is accurate, and it seems to make sense, then the following seems likely. DT, DTS and Andromeda will be in easily. FCD and Comets need to win 5 of their next 11 games, which is doable - but not easy because their schedules are tougher in the spring than they were in the fall. Barcelona needs 6 more wins, but they should have a much easier schedule in the spring.

The battle will probably be for the remaining 4 spots.

FCD South is going to have a tough time because they will need to win 8-9 of their next 11 games to make the magic number. Ties are better than losing, but three ties equal one win - you can't accumulate points fast enough that way.

Did your panties get all bunched up yesterday, or perhaps an ambulance ran over your foot? Nothing to do with the result of the game against Andro. I just think they are playing much better than when I first saw them at the beginning of the season, and they did manage to beat the Gunners and Comets, two of the better teams not all the lower teams have had the priviledge of beating. Still do not think they'll make it, but they are certainly on the rise. See Einstein, everything is relative, unless you are from Louisiana, then everyone is your relative.
