I will. Thapost the video of the game soon . Its that kind of goal that were not clean you know they had two of them ..even when the guy from the tournament said. I know you guys lost in pk but your team and the way you play that is the right way ..he said that in front of both teams . I think he was say we were the better team ..!

Looking at this tournament everyone is raving about the California teams. Looking at them the Pats MV looks like a lower Tier team even with adding players from the other squad. United Gold couldn't get out of bracket play in CA tournament a couple weeks ago. Then you have the Nomads coach talking like he is going win this thing going away when looking at his team and posts seems that HE HAS NOT WON ANYTHING SINCE LABOR DAY 2012!!!!!

Imagine how cocky he would be if he had won ANYTHING since Obama's first term!!! You're claim is that you beat this Albion team 9 months ago?? That is the best you got.

We have a saying in Oklahoma and Texas. All Hat and No Cattle!

You talk the talk but other than a bunch of semifinals and finalist in the past 9 months. You haven't done anything! When you said that you would play all the games like a Final. I would not recommend that as it looks like you don't do well in those!

If this Albion team barely got by you and you were the "better" team then we can't wait to get hold of em! They are probably overrated too! Hope you boys like the heat because you soft Californians are in for a rude awakening when you hit 90+ degrees with 90% humidity!

My favorite post was when he extolled the greatness of the team and slid in there that they finished 4th in their league.

As for how this tournament will go, I don't think anyone can say with any degree of accuracy what will happen and that makes it more interesting for us overzealous parents. I can find very few common teams in the west coast teams, Texas teams etc so who knows.

And. I will tell you what in Dallas will play them in semi or in the final ..! Will be the best team's there now you can say I'm talking..!!![/quote]

So, will you be back to apologize for talking trash if your team does not make it to the semifinals or finals like you predict? Or will the other teams just have gotten lucky?

Seems like you are disrespecting a lot of other teams. Confidence is one thing, arrogance is another.

BTW, I enjoy your writing style.......

4TLOTG can.....that being said....this past weekends's predictions were completely off...

Look this will be it I won't. Say anything els on this . But if my team dose not make it as far as I think we should than I will come back here and man up and apologize. Just so that you know we did win in Mach the Nomads CoachShowcase thournament . We also won our Socal development spring league . You are right about some of the over rate of team's. But will leave it at that. Look this is for fun think some of you mom & dad. Take this to the hart . So as a Coach I will stop let you guys come see us play . I will let our play win you guy's over .. my team only lost a total of 6 games over the past 14months . Some time's its not about win & loss. Its about getting kids to love soccer and there development. I can tell you that most Ref's tell me they love the way my team's plays . I do coach more than one team . But if you do go out there and like what you see from my team than come and post it here. Thanks sorry if I hurt some one's feelings . .. see you in 2 weeks .

It looks like neither team can play defense. 6 goals given up in a final?

I stopped by those fields and they were a joke. I heard they were 55x35 less than half of the field size in Dallas (of course things are bigger in Texas). So it was basically an indoor field without the walls. A lot of the kickoffs were shots on goal! I wouldn't take too much from the high scores as far as defense is concerned.

It was humor...

A couple of pre-tournament questions/comments from a non-CA/TX parent:

1) I want to make sure we're properly hydrated. Is it safe to assume that temperatures will be 5-10 degrees higher in Dallas from all the hot air emitting from CA/TX parents and coaches?

2) As a follow up to the first question, will we be allowed to breath the same air as CA/TX parents and coaches while their kids wipe the floor with our unworthy non-CA/TX kids?

3) I think this goes without saying, but can we expect more of the same clownish behavior we see from most top TX clubs' parents/coaches/players at other tournaments?

4) Do you all realize that these are 8 and 9 year old kids?

Boom. Roasted.

And the turf is usually 15 degrees hotter than the ambient temperature so it does get a little toasty. Bring tents as there is not much shade out there.

I have been staying up late for the past week doing all the homework I can on these teams to try and determine my predictions

Here are my predictions for this tournament for 04

Based upon the way I am reading the bracket assignments, I am thinking some of these teams will have to play each other in the quarters and semis.

If they win their brackets I think:

Nomads would play Fishtown Hotspur in Quarters so one of them would be knocked out.

Also, Solar Red would play Albion in the Semi-finals if they both make it through the group and Quarterfinals so they could not meet in the finals.

I am assuming the wildcard #1 is bracket A winner and so on when I suggest the above.

If you look at the gotsoccer records of some of these teams they are impressive for sure. Particularly Fishtown Hotspur, Albion and Dynamo Jr.

The brackets are confusing. Guessing group winners will be ranked based upon point and then any tiebreakers? Then put into brackets? The next 2 highest point scorers would be the 2 other wildcards?

Correct. 6 bracket winners based on points, and then the 2 highest point totals from the remainders go into gold division.
I would suggest reading the rules regarding points and tie-breakers as there will most likely be a high number of teams
with a possibility of grabbing those two wildcard spots going into their last pool game. It would be good knowing how
a win, loss, tie would affect your group. Sometimes you will have to win by 3 goals, or not lose by more than 2, or whatever.
It is just good to know the situation going in (especially the coaches).

Next 8 teams will go into Silver, bottom eight go into Bronze bracket play. Play until there are 3 winners.

I like this concept. Nothing worse than going to a tournament, especially out of town and not advancing out of pool play.
It is an awful feeling of wasted money and time. With this, everyone advances and has a chance at redemption of poor
play early on. This guarantees all teams four games. Not bad at all.

People asked me to do a silver and bronze predictions given this tournament is pretty much 3 tournaments in 1.

Silver Playoff teams
Woodbridge Strikers {Semis}
DT Pomykal {Champions}
Solar Chelsea Farley {Semis}
Odyssey
NM Rush
Tuzos
FC Dynano {Semis}
TUSC Blitz Thunder


Bronze Playoff Teams
Texas United Sharks {Semis}
Cosmos FC {Champions}
South Lakes Cosmos
Blitz United Gold
Waco Blast
Wichita Rojos
TSC Hurricane {Semis}
Omaha FC {Semis}

Looks like they are calling for bad weather this coming weekend. Hope it doesn't get too bad.

Weather Channel App says 40% chance of rain on Thursday, 20% chance on Friday and Saturday and 40% chance on Sunday.

Anybody that has lived in the Dallas area can tell you that you never trust forecast's or just about anything the weatherman says.
Things can change very quickly here . As the saying goes, "If you don't like the weather in Texas, then just wait 5 minutes."

40% of scattered thunderstorms on Sunday - you call that bad? Around here that's called Tuesday. Or Wednesday. Or Saturday.

A good example of this was last Wednesday. Weather apps said rain would hit Plano at 9pm. The 5pm weather (Pete Delkus the dumba$$) predicted it hitting at 8:42 in Plano. The storm hit at 6:28. right before practice started.

There was a 40% chance of rain this previous Saturday and I was certain my kids 3v3 would be cancelled due to rain. We played the whole day and it never rained on the fields. Some dark coulds, but no rain and the day was fine.


I am hopefull this weekend will be like last weekend.

So, yeah, what all these reassuring folks are saying is that they don't know either, it may or may not rain cats and dogs and the tourney may or may not get cancelled.

Feel better? Just head to SAN and hope for the best. Worst case you spent $1500 to hang out at the indoor pool and order in Pizza Hut and see historic Frisco.

(I'm expecting everything to be fine, fwtw)

Supercopa is this week Supercopa is this week



Can Texas teams come out on top against the nations other top teams

Forecast doesn't look too bad, but certainly there's a good chance we'll have some passing showers Thursday and through the weekend.

Real question is who is making the decision on the field conditions, and whether they are more committed to getting the tournament in or more committed to maintaining the fields. Some municipalities around here are VERY quick to close fields if they are the least bit wet, even if they are perfectly playable, to avoid them getting torn up.

I hope with all the teams traveling in for this tournament that the bar will be very high to actually closing the fields.
