Awesome!

Anyone have a recap of the game? Saw the semis but didn't make it over for the final.

Congrats to TFC Wells!!

Very evenly matched and rugged/physical game.

TFC had an awesome strike in the 2nd half from about 25 to 30 yards out over the keepers head on a breakaway. Gall hits the crossbar three or four times during game. TFC's fast forward gets hurt (wrist) 5 minutes into the game and does not play the rest of the game.

Game was played in the midfield, with neither defense willing to break, blink. or bend. Wind played a big factor in the game with TFC scoring with the wind in the 2nd half. I though the game was going to go 0 - 0 and end up being decided by PK's.

what excuse are they going to use for loosing is their player still out of town or they going to blame the weather congrats tfc

The Gall team were very cordial in the loss. Parents,coach, and kids were first class.

if one is going to make a dig, then at least spell correctly. losing not loosing. too many individuals like to throw stones....

Speaking of technicalities, the correct use of the oxymoron regarding the lack of consistency is consistently inconsistent. I believe your statement was inconsistently inconsistent, which would be consistent. Not a dig, just sayin'...

fifa clearly the newest member of the bored. on this thread doggin' Gall, on the XARA thread doggin' Bandits or the whole tourney or Andro or FCD East, I couldn't tell. Three posts since joining this morning and all are critical of someone. Glad you joined fifa. Thanks for your contributions so far. Look forward to more in the future. Geez.

I looked at the post as a guest and read that Dallas Texans Gallo were untouchable and when they did loose they had an excuse . They even went as far as to say they were the best in the country . When I saw that they lost i just had to join and give my two cents when Gallo is loosing oh i misspelled loosing and no not throwing stones but you are take the loss and crown the new best team in the country TFC and no i don't feel Andromeda is at the same level than FC D east and Bandits just by my boys team playing both teams that's what the post is tell it like it is even if it hurts sometimes
TFC

Fifa put the chapagne down and take the pat on the back. Great win but it wasnt the World Cup.

Come on folks, lets be honest. Gall's team was clearly the better team on the field--better coached and better players. Their style of play was much prettier to watch. TFC played kickball and longball. Gall's boys were just unlucky with balls hitting the post and other close calls. Plus, one has to wonder about the referee. The calls were terribly lopsided and inconsistent. It was almost like the referee couldnt keep up with the quick pace of Gall's play. It was also apparent that TFC's game plan was to play agressive and possibly even dirty, thereby disrupting Gall's technical play. Finally, the wind was very strong and that always impacts the play of the better team. And the long wet grass made it difficult for Gall's team to execute their well developed short-passing game.

I'm not making excuses but only pointing out the obvious. Admit it. Despite the score, Gall is still clearly the better team and deserved to win. They obviously are the best 10 year old team in the country. You're all just jealous.

Really Crochet you are complaining about a Texan team not getting the calls?? Really
it is like Micheal Jordan complaining about getting called for traveling. I have witness games that even the Texan coach was telling the ref that they fouled when it was called the other way. So if for one game, one momment in time the call did not go the Texan's way, please. This also proves FIFA's point that Gall's supporters will make excuses. FC Dallas was obviously the best team on the pitch the other night but the "Kick Ball Thugs" Colorado won. So what really matters is the final score. Right

That's way ridiculous Crochet; that's, obviously, ridiculous. Also, think about it, even if there really was a way to verify that (like a tournament of all the teams in the country, which doesn't exist at that age), such a statement would still be ridiculous...Don't you laugh when dad of 6 years old johnny comes to you and says that his son is the champion of USA after playing a 3v3 tournament ?
But anyway you will grow up and understand that it doesn't matter what your kid is when he is 10. I am hoping you don't spoil his fun with your state of mind...

Gullible! Don't take the bait!

Just like the previous thread that was referenced...Crochet is saying this crap on purpose just to get everyone fired up about the Texans. Crochet has like a 95 BB, stop it!

Just like whomever said they were the best...all BS. These are not 00 Texans parents, and neither am I.

Hehe, nice bait then.
Pff work is slow and boring , I want a good discussion, or better I want to go home play something with the kids ...

SpartanJ, I agree Colorado had some "thugs"...like Conor Casey. Not a fan of his challenges. He is a broken bone looking for an opportunity...

Just dripping with sarcasm... wonder how they missed it? You are right about one thing, though: despite the (1-0)score, Gall's is the better team.

Colorado was simply horrible to watch, both goals being a disgrace. Casey scoring the first one on the ground after taking 2 guys down and the second one is an on-goal where the offensive player gets hurt after making an obvious foul to "beat the defense" (he grabbed the guy by the shoulder and threw him down to make his way to the goal). Ref was way terrible allowing all those dirty play. I couldn't believe that Casey was still on the field. I saw so many fouls that deserved yellow cards that were not even whistled !
Now on the bright side , I was nicely impressed by FCdallas, they really were better and, most importantly, they were willing to play good, nice, beautiful soccer. I am ready to root for them next year, they should have won.

Hopefully next year MLS will send a ref crew the Cup match. Was really impressed with FCD's style of play this year. It is a shame that the cup was won with thug soccer over skill. Speaks very badly for the league.

Yes, glad you noticed. When I need a good laugh I sometimes troll these youunger kid threads, as the 96 forum is boring (like most older kid forums--because by then the parents have mellowed and realized that all this banter about kid soccer is pointless and actually somewhat pathetic). I stumbled across this interesting thread--and saw a great opportunity for a fun post. Sorry to those who took the bait.

That was good. Bad calls, long grass, wind, better technical team playing short passes...Really good list. I need to keep that in a text file in order to paste it once a year into younger groups forums. It sure can work all the time.

Crockit - very funny, got me to bite, I usually don't comment just read for laughs. But why do it if you are the more mature and wiser one? I find it all funny and you got me with the bad calls part as at any age group, Texans and favorable calls go hand and hand. Next time leave out the dirty part, no need to disperage a group of kids just for fun, right? I mean you are the all knowing mature one?

I am indeed the all knowing mature one who posts just for laughs.

No disparaging intended. I know nothing about this team--or any other 00 team. Never seen an 00 game in fact. Are they even old enough to play select soccer?

before I get to the game which is one of three finals my son and i attended I want to understand something.

Ibra - you actually start a thread about a person much less a team and more importantly about a game. I have to assume that Gall has done you and your family a major wrong so this is your way of payback. Why dont you man-up and call him and see if you can come to a gentlemens agreement.

Then the next two in the thread question if they are human (maybe sarcasm) and then soccer00 relishes in their loss by simply stating "awesome".

I have to assume that Gall is a human with a family. Where is the decency.

The first note of humanity is congratulatory message number 4. yes congrats to TFC. I could not agree more.

Some of you people need help.

The game and the tournament was constantly dominated by the wind. But it is even for each team.

the texans had the wind in the first half and play was mainly in the TFC defensive end of the field. texans hit the post/crossbar I think 4 times. score at half 0-0

second half was fairly even but was dominated by midfield play and no serious scoring chances. The shot on goal was not a break away. there was a change of possession in midfield on TFC end of the field. Either r wing or r midfielder ends up with the ball with plenty of space in front of him -the defense had retreated to around the 18 and there was no midfielder close - but chooses to unleash a brilliant strike about 25-30 yards out that lands in the upper 90. he might shoot that ball 10 more times and not hit that shot but he did it when it counted. Congrats on a great strike young man.

hard to beat a good team twice in the same day.

Sidenet!!! I remember you? You have a 2000 boy in Classic League and you had just moved here recently and are spending time on the site to "catch up on local history". Please explain how posting that a team finally lost their first game in quite some time is somehow attacking? There was no comment on the coach or any player or the club or the parents or anything other than for the second time this Fall, they failed to win. Posting of scores is what this whole site is often about. Maybe I could have put Premier, not GALL, but the rhyme does not work so well...According to your previous posts,you were at the Wizards - Gall game and witnessed the tie and now you were at this game.... are you a Wizard or just longing to be on Gall's team or actually a Texan parent from one of the many other Texan teams? Whichever you are is perfectly fine by me. Everyone that is on this site has the right to their opinion as long as the objects of the site(the players) are not attacked under any circumstance, whether deserved or not. On the other hand, Coaches, Parents and League officials should not be granted the same courtesy ...still don't know how posting scores is attacking anyone or any team....Congrats to Mr. Wells....

sidenet, what in the world are you talking about? ibra posted the score. Nothing more. The names of the coaches are included to identify the teams as these clubs have more than one team in the age group. Even then, I can't see how posting the score was a negative comment on anyone. Hell, if so, gotsoccer.com is the most offensive website in history. By the way, not only does ibra identity teams by coach name, so does gotsoccer.com, classic league and everyone else in the free world. Pull your head out before commenting. Then, the second comment was a compliment! The implication was that they had been playing so well that they might not be human, i.e. they were so good that they might be machines. It was NOT sarcasm. You clearly aren't from around here as ibra said--sounds like your from Mars. Maybe you should keep reading the blog for context or background or whatever you said. Keep your posts to yourself. That way the rest of us don't have to read your uninformed blathering.

Did I mean to infer "Fall"...as in this lovely time of the year in which we get to enjoy the game...or Fell...as in stumble for the first time...
