State Cup Is Here

by Axxman 4/29/2011, 8:57 am

All this talk of the big clubs, Solar management funneling money into their pockets and Andromeda managment running into the ground. How about we get back to some happier times. Here are some predictions for this tourny. I think the Andro Red boys will have something to say on all this all their own and might have some surprises for you all. Lets call it a going away party.

Bracket A

DT
Lubbock
Titans
FCD

Bracket B

DTS
SR
Solar
Andro Navy

Bracket C

Andro Red
Barcelona
FCD Gold
FCD Central

Bracket A - DT Advance
Bracket B - SR Advance
Bracket C - Andro Red, Barcelona Advance

Finals - DT vs Andro Red with AR pulling off the win.

I think we can all agree that DT will be in the finals but you need to share whatever you are smoking with the rest of us if you think AR is going all the way through without considering some of the other teams in the running.

by Axxman 4/29/2011, 10:59 am

I'll share what I'm smoking no problemo. But what will you give up if and when AR wins it all?

by Axxman 4/29/2011, 11:04 am

BTW and for the sake of argument, the last two time AR played SR, the score was 0 - 0 on both occasions. The last two times AR played DT, it was some ugly soccer with the first DT winning 1-0 on a fluke goal and the last time was 0 - 0. AR finished in 4th place this season due to some poor play and a loss to DTS which should not have been and a couple ties to lesser teams. But things have been looking up and a couple changes have been made, thus my predictions. So let me know when we can go toke up.

Axx is probably correct on this one. They added one good player that I know of, and have been practicing and scrimmaging like crazy getting ready for this tourney.

DT on the other hand has hardly practiced at all since CL ended.

Maybe it was the other way around. DTS should not have lost in the Fall. 3 hand balls in the box within 5 minutes. That was ugly soccer. Share with everyone. Smurfie, you in?

DTX doesn't need to practice. They will sleep walk to the Finals. The other brackets will fight to get in.

For whatever it's worth I'm not discounting any team here, both DT and SR are outstanding but I'm just goin on a limb here with my predictions.

Finish, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to disagree with you on the DTS games. The first game was quite easy and the second was dominated by AR but during our little slump we couldn't find the net. You guys scored on two breakaways on limited opportunities by the same player, of which we had the wrong defender on that game. But I'm sure that may be why you perhaps found greener pastures and will be watching the game from the SR sidelines?

Both teams played great ball this year, split our match-ups 1-1, and had a very successful season at the top of D1. We were down to the Dirty Dozen at the break and did very well considering the circumstances. I love competitive soccer in NTX. You never know what's going to happen next. Keeps you on your toes, which is how the game is played... Very Happy

I wonder how DTx got put in the bracket where the winner got the wildcard? Suspect

regardless I think it will be a SR vs Barcelona final with SR winning by a goal! cheers

by Axxman 4/29/2011, 2:53 pm

At least you're consistent Omega. I could put Barcelona and Real Madrid in the other brackets and you'd still pick SR to win it.......lol. Hopefully the rain stays away and we get some good soccer in!

LOL yea i think SR is going to be THE TEAM to beat next season sorry DTx your best chance to beat them(SR) is now! They(SR) will pick up a few key(great) players for next season that should make them consistently the best like DTx has been the last couple of years!

sorry Axx haven't seen your team play consistent at all and Barcelona seems to have the kryptonite for year team come game day! now I predict you guys coming in as the wild card and drawing DTx and hell you might even beat them but you won't beat SR !!! tongue

Best wishes for a speedy recovery to Little Ax!

by forbin 4/30/2011, 9:29 pm

Does anyone know if the missed games tonight and potentially tomorrow will be made up for the 99's? I would suspect for U14 and above they must be made up to determine who advances to regionals, but just curious if they will make it a priority to make up the younger age groups games.

Appreciate it very much! Frustrating day for us but it happens! Hopefully teams get to finish play. Maybe they try to get a game or two in during the week?
