Re: Dallas Cup Predictions
Yes more often than not this is precisely the case. On occasion we see a domestic team do well at the older age groups, but in general the rest of the world has a completely different attitude towards the sport beyond the age of 14.

Re: Dallas Cup Predictions
well cali might not have won every age group but they won the U13 an U14 group and were also in the finals in the U15,U16 and U17 age groups and their U19's made the semis so not bad in my bookReal Barcelona wrote:My conclusion is that this year the Socal teams dominated at younger age groups but once our kids hit puberty or beyond, they are no competition for the foreign teams. I am not sure if this is always the case though.

this is the rub, here you lose those kids at that age, around the world they don't...

I wonder if the Chinese sit around and come up with excuses on why they are so bad at soccer? Most of our athletes start playing ping pong, badminton, diving, fast walking...soccerisgood123 wrote:omega striker wrote:I would guess this is the age where the top players/athletes turn to baseball,football,basketball etc....78Comet wrote:Yes more often than not this is precisely the case.

Re: Dallas Cup Predictions
well soccer is certianly not the biggest sport in Japan either so not sure about the losing athletes argument. And how does that explain Socal/ Do they not lose athletes in California?

Re: Dallas Cup Predictions
people still play baseball?
Eh...I guess we need something for the 12 year olds with man boobs who don't like to run and show up for games with super sized slurpees something to do...
people need to get over their soccer inferiority complex...just because some kid may excel at another sport doesn't make them a better 'athlete'...
NTX alone has more registered players than half the countries in Europe.
The pool of 'sufficient soccer athletes' ain't the problem.

Re: Dallas Cup Predictions
Based on what I saw I think that the SoCal teams always bring a deeper bench to try and win the DCup. I saw nothing that indicated extraordinarily better futbol. It shows late in games and deeper into the tourney. They come to win. Only a few of he NTX do this. I know my BBs coach said we are going to play with the team that got is here. And what that got us is a short bench and it showed.

where did your team finish?soccerdadrandy wrote:AND WHAT DO YOU THINK NOW?omega striker wrote:well cali might not have won every age group but they won the U13 an U14 group and were also in the finals in the U15,U16 and U17 age groups and their U19's made the semis so not bad in my bookReal Barcelona wrote:My conclusion is that this year the Socal teams dominated at younger age groups but once our kids hit puberty or beyond, they are no competition for the foreign teams.

as of right now here are the results
U13- 1 ntx advanced but lost in the qtr final 1 cali advanced and is in the finals
U14- 2 Cali teams advanced 0 ntx advanced but wizards got that crazy break from that outside tourney to put them in the semis and they won and are in finals great for them
U15- 1 ntx solar red made the semis 1 cali team advanced
U16- 3 cali teams and 4 ntx teams advanced with a cali vs ntx final
U17- 3 ntx and 1 cali team advanced still waiting to play semis though
super U17s- 1 cali team advanced 0 ntx
U19- 0 cali teams and 4 ntx teams advanced
super group- 0 cali and 0 ntx teams advanced
if for some reason anybody thinks any of these teams dont play to win then your smoking diesel
one other thing looks like our academy and PA teams werent so elite especially at the younger ages

Re: Dallas Cup Predictions
but finished dead last in their bracket sir and didnt win a game! not what you would expect from an elite team I am glad to see ntx teams doing well in the older age group though now I do believe we have alot of talent here and have some quality coaches sprinkled here and there but somewhere our system fails to produce somehow you cant possibly tell me the east coast and cali are the only places to find the best talent hell no i dont buy that one bit but what i do believe is those areas do a better job of showcasing/promoting their talent instead of fighting over it and holding them back!soccerdadrandy wrote:omega striker wrote:where did your team finish?soccerdadrandy wrote:AND WHAT DO YOU THINK NOW?omega striker wrote:well cali might not have won every age group but they won the U13 an U14 group and were also in the finals in the U15,U16 and U17 age groups and their U19's made the semis so not bad in my bookReal Barcelona wrote:My conclusion is that this year the Socal teams dominated at younger age groups but once our kids hit puberty or beyond, they are no competition for the foreign teams.

OMEGA, during my short time on the forum, I have enjoyed SOME of your intelligent observations. You clearly have an axe to grind and are not being objective. You can yell from the roof tops "BUT FINISHED DEAD LAST IN THEIR BRACKET" until you are blue in the face. LMAO It doesn't changed the fact that those 13 year old boys played their hearts out and tied the Cali teams you so worship. If the 13 year old boys you are crushing "in print" had played down to U13 bracket instead of up to u14 bracket you would praise them for dominating? Any sports fan, not just wise soccer veterans like your self, would not praise these same boys for whipping up on the u13 age bracket. They would instead call it, what it is!!! Bigger, faster boys, beating younger, yet still very skilled players. Elite, may be a stretch for some of the academy players, but against boys their own age they stack up extremely well. You also acknowledge with your statistics that as NTX boys mature, "NTX teams doing well in older age group though", we stack up well against the Cali Gods! Happy Easter

I am not sure if this is always the case though.
as of right now here are the results
U13- 1 ntx advanced but lost in the qtr final 1 cali advanced and is in the finals
U14- 2 Cali teams advanced 0 ntx advanced but wizards got that crazy break from that outside tourney to put them in the semis and they won and are in finals great for them
U15- 1 ntx solar red made the semis 1 cali team advanced
U16- 3 cali teams and 4 ntx teams advanced with a cali vs ntx final
U17- 3 ntx and 1 cali team advanced still waiting to play semis though
super U17s- 1 cali team advanced 0 ntx
U19- 0 cali teams and 4 ntx teams advanced
super group- 0 cali and 0 ntx teams advanced
if for some reason anybody thinks any of these teams dont play to win then your smoking diesel
one other thing looks like our academy and PA teams weren't so elite especially at the younger ages
my team tied cali team and lost to finalist 1-0 :(not horrible lol
OMEGA, during my short time on the forum, I have enjoyed SOME of your intelligent observations. You clearly have an axe to grind and are not being objective. You can yell from the roof tops "BUT FINISHED DEAD LAST IN THEIR BRACKET" until you are blue in the face. LMAO It doesn't changed the fact that those 13 year old boys played their hearts out and tied the Cali teams you so worship. If the 13 year old boys you are crushing "in print" had played down to U13 bracket instead of up to u14 bracket you would praise them for dominating? Any sports fan, not just wise soccer veterans like your self, would not praise these same boys for whipping up on the u13 age bracket. They would instead call it, what it is!!! Bigger, faster boys, beating younger, yet still very skilled players. Elite, may be a stretch for some of the academy players, but against boys their own age they stack up extremely well. You also acknowledge with your statistics that as NTX boys mature, "NTX teams doing well in older age group though", we stack up well against the Cali Gods! Happy Easter
age is not an excuse. when the boys recently thrashed the overall younger fcd academy boys i didn't jump for joy. i acknowledged the advantage one had over the other. but i do now know what your "axe" is lol
