fixed it for you bro  

lol. The post was about recognizing the players that make up the teams.

There are nearly 200,000 youth soccer players in 55 US Soccer State Associations. It's an honor for our boys to earn the right to say the are among the best in the country.

Cheers to them!

cheers to Nuno Passos solar red team aka "the big red machine"  

Looks like they are tied 2-2 in their second game. Cannot be much time remaining.

Its a final. This result leaves Solar in 4th with one game remaining.

I didn't make the trip, but I heard we lost in the last 30 seconds. The best we can do at this point is take bronze. Last game vs NTX nemesis Pateadores on Friday at 7:30 am.

Pateadores was the favorite going into the tourney, but they lost to Penn Fusion this morning.

I didn't make it either but I got the same report. We were up 2-1 then tied until the last 35 seconds.

well damn ask speedy im sure he made the trip?  

Many apologies. I left a very deserving team off the list, FC Dallas 98 Premier.

NTX won't bring home a National Championship this year, but the boys have all represented our region very well!

I see that the DA teams played in something called "U.S. Soccer Development Academy Finals Week Championship." This appears to be something different that what I know as "nationals". Can someone explain the difference (if any) ?

The DA Championship is a competition of regional DA winners.

Best of luck, boys.  

Not to be lost, but we also sent 3 very good referees to Nationals from North Texas.

Dude really? Give me a break

Congrats to all the players that made the best 11 list at the nationals.

Congrats to Javi Leija (Solar Red 99) and Austin Day (FC Dallas Premier 98) for making the 2013 National Championship Best 11 in their respective age groups.

RQ, I don't believe we should discredit the refs who also made the trip. As the dad of a referee, that is very cool. Congrats to them as well.

Was just kidding.  

Best referees we have ever had by a mile were at Nationals. All were Grade 5's and Grade 6's and they were tremendous, consistent, controlled the games without being too involved. Well done to all who were invited to participate.

Another dominance by SOCAL teams

This is not true.  There were 7's on the line.

NTX sent a 5 a 6 (new 6) and a 7 (he'll very soon be a 6 though).

In our games they were all 5's and 6's - the one 7 we had was a 4th Referee - had him twice in the same capacity. None-the-less they were excellent.
