    I think dan-in-texas was referring to Classic League play ear.... You posted scores for the Labor Day Tournament.


    TFC Wells, Bandits, Solar Partain, FCD Premier, & Andro Red don't play Wizards till the Spring, so we may have to wait till then unless they just have a complete defensive meltdown or a goalie miscue which at this age are bound to happen.

    Only a matter of time, let's first not make Gall out to be the end all just yet. They have looked average over the past two games as do all teams at some point. Wizards are going through a hot streak on defense which involves skill, hustle and luck. As noted by earbucket they were bad in the PLD 30 days ago and were good over the summer. VERY LONG SEASON 19 game season. Having watched the top10 quite a bit over the past 60 days they all have looked great and all have looked average to bad.

    I guess the D Texans are not as good as we all thought they finally played a top ten team and did not shine like we all thought . Great job Wizards bringing the Texans back to reality .

    I have watched some of the top teams . Fc Dallas premier not great would not finish top 5 . Bandits good team great defense some what of an offense . TFC Wells speed , speed , speed need to work as a team . Solar red good defense but has not dominated a game most of the wins are luck . Andromeda only played one top team TFC Wells but they don't convince me , need to see more to much kick ball . Dallas Texans not as great as we all thought that's probably why they dint play in the LABOR DAY TOURNAMENT ( don't blame it on the Texans friendlies ) . Dallas Texans ,Fc Dallas East , Andromeda have good ball possession . Fc Dallas east plays in moments will not win 50/50 balls , but has great ball possession but cant finish or their a second half team at least with the Wizards that's what they showed . Wizards play scrappy but has great individual talent may be top 5 .



    rated on skills not scores based on ball possession

    1 Andromeda
    2 Fc Dallas East
    3 Texans
    4 wells

    Based on scrappy and will to win

    1 wizards
    2 TFC
    3 Tigres
    4 Solar red

    The reality is that they ARE that good. Their feisty midfielder is still in England, invited by Manchester United. He'll be back for Saturday's game. They'll get right back on track.

    BTW...after the Wizard's goalie was knocked out with a hit to his jaw, did not the Wizard's fiesty midfielder leave the field to attend the goal? Gall does not need any excuses...he has more than one great player...I would like to think he would disagree with your post as it would possibly demean the other 15 boys on his roster.

    Oh, for crying out loud, no one is trying to demean anyone. I wasn't at the game, so I wouldn't know how they did. When a team is missing an impact player, it does affect their game, especially when they're 10.

    It amazes me how they identify a 11 year old for a invite when they have no clue the size nor speed he will be in a few years.

    I actually did see the game arriving just before the first half ended after picking up bb from practice. Neither team really looked like they were missing anything, but both strong mid-fielders were not on the pitch...one in Europe...one in goal...guess that might make it even?

    Texans are a good team but not great I saw them play against Texans craft and i was not impressed with their performance and for one player to make that big of a difference this is not rec that one player can win a game . My kid just got invited to go practice with Barcelona but I need a few $ Smile just kidding . To Texans fans no their are not a great team their just not playing top teams. The Texans will end 4th in the classic league after they play all the teams .

    1- wizards (plays their heart out needs to control the game not play kick ball )
    2- Andromeda red (all around team )
    3- Fc Dallas east (all around team more D than offense )
    4- Fc Dallas premier (has their days not a consistent team but could be #1 team)
    5- wells (speed has good ball possession )
    6- Texans Gallo (depends on one player but his in England ) What tournaments are the Texans playing so they can redeem them self's from the labor day tournament comments saying we were all playing for second place because they dint attend .

    So which kid is this that went to England? The one from England (the big kid that came from the Bandits?), or the old coach's son - when they used to be Dynamos?

    Oh, and for you guys to say one kid doesn't make a difference, yes it does. If its someone who is key for your scoring, it does make a big difference.

    Ask all the 11-20 teams that are losing by 1 or 2 points each week 1-0, 2-1, etc. Very few of them are getting killed by the 1-10 teams. The only things they are missing are a scorer (most of them), just one good scorer and they'd be as complete or more complete teams than many if not all of the 1-10 teams. So yea, a single player can make a difference.

    "One player doesn't make a difference this is not rec anymore" is like saying Rooney doesn't make a difference in ManU or Ronaldo in Madrid or Messi in Barcelona. No, those guys don't make a difference since this is Pro soccer.
    The kid that is in England is the son of the dynamo coach who got invited to a camp at ManU after winning a skill contest (winning it, not paying for it)

    Okay so the kid won a trip to ManU. Sounds like a great trip and experience. This is a little different than being invited to train at ManU. Have to say that kid does make a difference, but you win lose or draw as a team. If you stand behind the "our guy was missing" line you stand at the face of a stark realization that maybe the "team" is not as great as thought. Maybe you just have a big difference maker that sets you apart. Barca won games when messi was injured, ManU won without C ronaldo.

    You are right about ManU, there is a difference but I wouldn't mind one of my boy winning that...
    Regarding individuality versus team work, this whole debate is one of the thing that makes soccer so incredibly interesting. By the way what Mourinho is beginning to produce with his squad at Real Madrid is impressive.

    morinho has shown that he has the ability to adjust his game to fit the talent at hand. In the past he has adjusted the talent to fit his game plan not the other way around, very impressive team. Morinho would say about the texans team that a missing player is an opportunity for others to step up or show they have no ability to. BTW would love for my bb to win that. It is better than paying for it yourself, which you can.

    The boy won the contest with the highest amount of points ever scored in this age group world wide. I think that is impressive. I think we all should be happy for him and hope that he he turns out as the next "American Soccer Export" to Europe at least I am.

    Just out of curiosity, when, where and what was the contest? Who sponsored?

    I thought it was a texans thing not an overall US thing. Wouldn't it be hard to track overall individual goals across the entire country especially since many leagues do not track scores at this age (oops got it I think. Points as in points for skills not points as in goals?). I think we all are happy for him and he is a great player, that is not in question.

    Oh, I thought it was like a skills (juggling etc.) contest. Sounds like from Go's post it was based on on-the-field performance.

    sorry I edited that. I think I mistook the germans description of it. The points must have been based off some sort of skill. Can anyone clarify?

    During the ManU camp in July all the kids did a skill test every day. From target shooting, speed dribble and so on were part of this contest. The best player was then invited to England which in this camp was the little 00. However the ManU trainers at the end of the camp made thie statement that he scored the highest amount of points ever for his age group.
