I can say top 3 are

DT South 02
Solar Dynamo 02
AYSES 02

I thought Crushers had a good team but this was my only time seeing them play. Where's Solar PFC? I don't see them on this list. I didn't even see them participate an any of these tournaments.

If so, they definitely belong in the top 10, but I would put LP ahead of them right now. I also think Solar PFC has to be on this list in the top 10; I think they're better than Solar Blue.

I haven't seen America Tex Mex or Leon FC play. Are they complete teams or were they bits and pieces pulled together for a tournament? Other solid teams include FWFC Remmel and TFC Haylock. They are similar level as Solar Blue.

I was impressed with DT South and don't underestimate Andromeda.

debit wrote:FWFC played in the PrimeTime Summer Shootout a few weeks ago and in the top division of SDL this spring. To be fair, they have shown inconsistent results. During the spring SDL game, my son's team beat them 7-1, but we played them again in the Summer Shootout and the game went to a penalty shootout. They have one special player--maybe the best 02 player I've seen in the past year.

Hey Debit the special player you mentioned is now with DT South 02. Great addition to the team.

The rich get richer. Very good choice on their part.

Futbolista is this the kid that was there at espn tournament? very talented kid.

debit wrote:So... after that revelation, I retract suggesting FWFC as one of the top 15'ish teams. I guess I would rank the teams like this.

1. DT South
2. Solar Dynamo
3. Solar Red Crushers
4. AYSES
5. Leon FC (Guessing here since I haven't seen this team play since spring 09)
6. Solar PFC
7. Liverpool Gerrard
8. Andromeda
9. TFC Haylock
10. Odyssey
11. Aces
12. Solar Blue

I left out America Tex Mex since it sounded like they were a tournament team only and were put together from parts of other teams.

Is Solar PFC still playing? Haven’t seen them play since the winter Prime time tournament.

I believe they split from solar to andromeda

The team I'm talking about isn't the Leon FC that was formally known as Tigres - this Leon FC was previously known as Lion Cubs. Leon FC (Lion Cubs) beat Leon FC (Tigres) 10-4 or something recently over at RISE in a scrimmage. I heard Leon FC will become FC Dallas.

I'm guessing there's only one team that can beat Leon FC (Lion Cubs). I'd rank them "2".

I don't know where they practice...

Sorry wasn't aware there was 2 teams same name no affiliation.

Just curious who you guess is number 1?

I made the same mistake when I first saw Leon's results. They used to go by the name of Lion Cubs until this summer.

My opinion on #1 would be DT South.

With no guest players on either side Leon might be able to beat DT... And if Leon moves to FC Dallas and gets a player here and there, that would be interesting. I haven't seen DT South lately but they are probably reinforced with several players so who knows. I'd love to see both of them play versus each other this fall. That'll settle my curiosity.

Futbolista - your son plays on DT South right?

Hey I was also wondering how you rank them as number 2 if they havent played in any tournaments? What league do they play in? If you're basing it on their wins over Solar Dynamo than there maybe more to it. Not all of Dynamo's players are playing indoor at Inwood.

Tournaments don't carry all the weight in academy. Guest players in tournaments make teams look much different than what they are in league play. Besides, it's fallacious to even suggest that a team cannot be ranked if it hasn't participated in popular tournaments. From what I know, Leon has beat Solar D twice in the last month. Once indoors (8-4) and once in the 3v3 Kick it regional pool play (6-5). Leon was supposed to play against Solar again in the 3v3 regional championship game but they forfeited the game just to play an indoor game against our team - they were already qualified in the 3v3 anyways.

IMO Leon is in much better shape than Solar D.

Don't take my opinion too seriously - it's all subjective. Besides, I'm a bit biased towards Mexicanos... ¡Viva la Raza!

Over the years I have seen teams beat teams in outdoor and lose to them indoors. Hey lets all play 3v3 games without goalies and a crease that when you as a defensive player touches the ball a goal is awarded. Artes........come on lil fella. 3v3 is great for developing players but you cant rank a team based on it.
