what no way are you drinking again???? SR is picking up quite a few new talented players to fill in their weaknesses and will make a run for the top spot!!!!!!

Yep, definitely been taking one too many swigs, Go99! I've always been impressed with SR and if they pick up a few more talented players, I don't see them slowing down.

I was always impressed with solar red also but the coach bailed on soccer as soon as they left academy. I don't know what the hell they are trying to do now (cough "kickball"). Wheels fell of that wagon last season. Maybe he can get it together but being out in the soccer boonies sure isn't gonna help him get players. Gunners however are a D1 team with multi sport athletes. There has to be a few good players feeling the pinch of having to chose who would like to keep playing in D1. Gunners is not for me but I like what they are doing. Solar red, you broke my heart last season. sniff! sniff!

Alright, Go, you do give an honest opinion. Don't most club coaches "give up" from academy to select? What about the term "hand off", or in soccer terms "finish" academy.

Well solar used to play a very good game for academy soccer. Plenty of ball movement and creativity. Same coach took them into select and decided to start kicking the ball up to a single forward. They have a nice group of players but frankly lack the pure athletes it takes to kick and run.

Warning: Single forward = not 1st.

Go to rankings this is based on tournament and league play in last year. It is real time pretty much as long as everyone uses gotsoccer for tournaments which most do. In fact I would recommend never playing in a tournament that is not ranked by gotsoccer since your results will not show up in this system.

Agreed, but they do not rank U11.

And there is a reason for that.
