Where's club31? Ready to give me three autographed balls or not?

I'm here and ready. 0-0 tie last night What happened?

solar is tough to score on

You bet ! I can't believe they took only 5 goals !! Too bad they can't score either ...

and 2 were against craft. Yeah not very scary going forward at all. Well oragnized, good ball movement, just not sure they have found that scary threat in the offense. Their game also does not lend itself to just kicking it up and running for a quick goal.

Very good game, despite the zeros...not boring at all. Many near misses that had the crowd going, and no fights broke out among the parents, imagine that. BB actually prefers to play tougher teams, so we're actually looking forward to this Spring.

they will be tested for sure in the spring!

Who will be tested in the spring Solar or Comets? Solar(Crawford) play to much kickball and will play to 2-4 ties. Comets play alot of close games and will probably squeek by and get in d1.

Comets and Solar are not the only ones with tough schedules coming up, so I can think of a handful of teams that would be tested. So, are we on for the bet yet?

Talking about teams that will be tested, look a FCdSuarez. Ok they have 20 points and they look good but look at the rest of their games. Aside from FCd blue, nothing looks like a given and they will have to go get those 10 to 12 additional points. It will be an interesting second half of the season for them too...

fcd and comets will lose-tie more than they win and will barely stay in d1 - #9-10

d1 will be dt, dts, solar red, andromeda, chivas, cc, barcelona, solar, comet, fcd at end of season

maybe fwfc and athletico can catch comets and fcd

I think CC, Barcelona and Chivas are more likely to get caught than FCD or Comets. FCDallas are going to switch up some of their players form the other teams to make (Suarez) stronger. Comets are more consistant and are a bit stronger than the other three mentioned.

Solar passos is way from being secure too. They only have tough games. They play all the top teams and there only easy one (one paper) is rank 20 Barcelona which is every thing but easy. Aside from DT connell they are in for a battle... And they only have 17 points ! If we accept that FCD is still under pressure we have to add Solar Passos too...

REALLY !!! Where is that coming from ? That would be quite a surprise !?!?

The Comets have the hardest schedule in the spring. They still play 5 of the top six teams. Including the top 4. The Comets were beat by CCO and tied Barcelona, both of which have easier schedules this spring. I don't see FCD switching up players in midseason, Suarez will go with what he has now.

ideally I think you would like to leave things as is and make changes at the end of the season. That would be a big risk. If Suarez doesn't hold the D1 spot then that would leave the club without a D1 spot next season. Who knows, but someone definately has to be thinking of things from a club prespective.
