The lucky 7:
1. FC Premier
2.liverpool Toshack
3.DT Badii
4.NSYSA Juventus
5.Solar Chesea Gold
6. FCD South
7. FCD Figueroa

FCDallas Figueroa plays NSYSA FW Juventus and and FC Premier plays FCDallas South, so that eliminates 3 of your picks. Which 2 of those 4 and 2 others do you predict for Top 7. Remember, lowest scoring 8th seed goes to D2, probably the one that ties?

Brackets A,B,C easy to predict.
A. Solar gold
B.LP Toshack
C. DT Badii
D. Ayses gold
E. Andromeda
F. FCD Pritchett
G. FC Premier
H. NSYSA Juventus

Picking Keller to represent. Because when you grow up in the ghetto you are a little bit tougher.

Why do you keep saying D2? Has something changed? Isn't first year 20 teams in D1 and then 10 in D3 followed by PPL? There isn't D2 in year 1, correct? I'm not trying to be a smartarse, just making sure I have this stuff correct.

I think that's how the girls classic league names the divisions, but on the boys side, CCSAI uses D1 and D2 for the U11 year, and there is no D3 until U12.

Ah Ha!! Yep, I was using the girls format. Thanks.

I wouldn't assume pool C is as easy to predict as A and B. Badii is a quality team, no doubt, but don't underestimate LP St. John. My opinion of that pool is that no one team will dominate the other two. Badii may very well win it, but I don't see it as an easy prediction.

Mow the dang grass.

LOL.  That's the worst field conditions I can remember at Richland, they are usually better than that.  Hopefully they start mowing a little for the start of the season.  Between the height of the grass and the two 5 minute ridiculous water breaks, may be the slowest soccer ever, unless your team plays the long ball...................

My wimpy bb said he really liked the water breaks. I was parched, myself, Sitting in the Shade.

How can a parent complain for a water break? Temperatures reached the 100 on the week-end, do you want to see kids drop because of a heat stroke?

If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.

I can see a minute or so of getting a drink and cooling off with a towel or whatever, but 5 minutes is too long imo. Its called conditioning. You can argue away about age or whatever you want but the ones that are fittest the last few minutes of games are typically the ones that perservere and make a difference. Or you can go eat some MickeyDs like most of the parents and take your much needed rests.

If parents have to sit through a little bit slower game and a few five-minute water breaks, to save the life of one child playing a sport they love in 100° weather, it is well worth it. There are multiple children this age that die every year in Texas (we have already lost some in Dallas, this year) of heatstroke from playing and practicing in this type of weather. These kids play year-round. Every parent who has a child playing in this tournament will be able to see their child play in quick, intense games all year long. Yes, it's very unlikely a child will be lost during this tournament, but no one can tell me it's not worth it to make sure that does not happen. Conditioning will come into play regardless if the kids have a water break in the middle of the game or not...

Predictions by bracket:

A

Solar Gold will dominate the bracket.  FC Dallas White will beat John 3:16 in a tough match to claim DII

B

Someone claimed this was an easy bracket to predict.... I think it is the most competitive in the round.   FC Nacionals have a tough row to hoe, but will give the other two all they can handle.  I predict they take the wildcard for the final DII slot.  Although I am a Liverpool fan, I think Dallas Texans Faber will be too fast for Toshack and will take a close one.

C

This is another that I think will be VERY close.  I like St John for the win in a gritty Sunday battle over DT Badii.   NTS Blue is very capable of getting an upset in either here.

D

Two horse race that will go to FC Dallas Central over AYSES Gold.   They will regroup and prove why they were a top seed in round 1

E

Cruz Azul will cruise in this one.  I think they handle Andromeda easily.  Liverpool Callaghan will be only the second Liverpool team eliminated from Classic out of the 8 that entered.

F

FC Dallas Red will take this one easily.   The fight will be for DII with DT White and Juventus, going to DT White

G

This is another two horse race with FCD South Red and FC Premier battling it out.   FCD will take it in a tougher than expected game.

H

This is going to be the third toughest bracket.   Dallas Tigres will be game, but fall to both.   Juventus will beat Figo 2-1 for a DI slot, but goes to DII on points.

RESULTS:

D1

Solar Chelsea Gold
Dallas Texas Fort Worth (Faber)
Liverpool St John
FC Dallas Central (Waters)
Cruz Azul
FC Dallas Red (Pritchett)
FC Dallas South Red (Ayvar)

D2

NSYSA Juventus  (will have the fewest points of bracket winners because of a tough draw)
FC Dallas Figo
FC Premier
Dallas Texans White
Andromeda
AYSES Gold
Dallas Texans Red (Badii)
Liverpool Toshack
FC Dallas White (Palmisano)
FC Nacionals (wildcard)

102, with the heat index, but who's counting? As a spokesman for the out of shape parents, I can say that I needed frequent water intake just to watch the game. Naturally, I was relieved to see bb was also able to rehydrate.
Great call by tourney...at least half of the parents (out of shape ones, at least) appreciate the water breaks.  

Good luck to all next week. Solar Gold should easily make it through. Hope Badi's team makes it; and I wouldn't rule out FC Premier!

You have my bet, let's see...

Looks good to me also, it'll be another warm one but the humidity level is forecasted to be higher  

Fellow parents stay hydrated!

We are all so glad your bb was able to rehydrate. I do not remember any kids every getting carted off due to dehydration but perhaps it has happened. But it makes no difference, you have it all figured out. Isn't your 03 your 4th go at this ntx soccer. The other three have quit or come close to it but certainly that will not happen this time around, he has the right coach to make sure of it. Stay thirsty.

Love the multiple screen names, but you know I only have three. Yes, one almost quit, but he's doing great now, thanks for asking.
