Predictions anyone?

Gold
What the heck is Comets Blue doing in the Gold division? They are at best bottom of Silver A. You can say the same about Celtic Green, OKFC and the other two out of town teams. Celtic Green has been a combined 1-1-7 vs. NTX teams with 10 GF & 43 GA. In their gamve vs. an NTX team OKFC lost to FCD Suarez who is in Silver 1, so I don't get that. The Arkansas team and the Mississippi team look good on paper and don't have any history vs NTX teams so we'll see.

Would have loved to have seen DT Gall, FCD Premier & TFC Wells in this tournament. Having said that, the seeding looks pretty good here.

Semis:
FCD Spencer vs. DT West
Wizards vs. Solar

Give me Solar over DT West in the finals.

Silver A
Wow, what a field... There will also be some good competitive soccer played in this flight.
Semis:
Andro vs. FWFC
FCD vs. Chivas

Give me Andro over Chivas

Silver B
Don't know enough about any of these teams to predict the semis, but give me Kernow Storm to win it all.

I can't belive I'm saying this, but I hope it doesn't rain like they are expecting as this is a good tournament and I hate to see it cancelled.

Good luck to all!

Semis Predictions:
Gold- Wizards, Solar, FC Dallas East, Odyssey
Silver A-Chivas, Abdromeda, Tejanos, FC Dallas
Silver B-Waco, Texans North, Storm

Unsure about Silver B, I'm sure they had a lot of turn over.

Forecast mid-90's, which should feel like a cold front.

Good luck everyone!

Gold


Odyssey could end 3rd in own bracket, may not even make qtrs, but my guess is they finish 2nd, due to DT(Andro Red) losing some key players. Gold bracket's version of "Group of Death".



Semis

Odyssey -v- Solar

FCD East -v- DT Red

Solar v FCDEast in final

Solar wins it

Silver 1

Very even across the board.


Semis

Chivas-v-Tejanos

Hurst-v-FCD

Chivas-v-Hurst in Final

Silver 2

Kernow or Waco Blast wins in a weak field. maybe that San angelo team.

I was under the impression that ML kept most of his team in tact and added a few players from DT Gall & Bandits. Was that not the case?

Indy, as always I would defer to your info, as you seem to know more than everyone else about such matters, I thought I saw someone mention in a previous thread that they (ML) had lost a couple key players to other D-1's. Doesn't mean they didn't replace them with something equal, or better. Gall and Craft got most of Bandits players. No Bandits went to Marcio. Like I said, that is the group of death in the gold division. Some of the teams they have in those gold divisions have no business in there!

I stand corrected on the Bandits going to DT West... I was getting Craft & ML's teams crossed up. This may be uncharted territory for the great one as I believe he has always had the top team for the club he coaches for. Could he have the 3rd best team this year for DT?

Can't wait to see some results though... 5 of the 10 D1 teams are playing, so should give us some indication as to what to expect out of league play.

ML did pick up at least one kid form Gall, the big lefty forward, and Lord knows what else.

I'm more interested in the teams that are not playing than the ones that are.

A lot to watch for in upcoming season. So much turnover and change.

Solar Red won this tournament last year (I think the only top 10 missing was Gall). Then you saw what happened to them.
I think the margins of victory will be very small, and some very good teams will be left off playoffs becuase of it. In tournament play, anything can happen.

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, it is good to all be back and playing some soccer again.

Glad to see that everyone has survived the heat. Hopefully we will get a Fall this year, sooner rather than later.

Although I only know the "transfers" that have been reported here on the board, I will venture out on a limb and make my predictions nonetheless.

Here goes nothing:

Gold Division

Semifinal 1: FCD East v. Odyssey
Semifinal 2: Wizards v. Solar

Finals: FCD East v. Solar (Solar wins 2-1)


Silver A Division

Semifinal 1: Hurst v. Chivas
Semifinal 2: FC Dallas Youth v. Tejanos

Finals: Hurst v. FC Dallas Youth (2-2, Hurst wins on the 6th PK)


Silver B Division

Semifinal 1: Kernow Storm v. Celtic
Semifinal 2: Waco Blast v. TFC Red

Finals: Kernow Storm v. Waco Blast (Kernow wins 4-1)

Good luck to all!!

Gold: Looking at the Arkansas Comets - I'll pick the out of towners. I think they might be tough.
Texans West v. Ark Comets finals - Comets to win.
(Edit: Reason I pick this - Texans Gall played Oklahoma Texans and beat them 2-1, Arkansas Comets played the same Oklahoma Texans and beat them 4-1 . . .).

Silver A: Hurst United

Silver B: Kernow

I really like your pick of Arkansas Comets. They look really good on paper.

Gold - Arkansas Comets

Silver A - Hurst United

Sliver B - MIDLAND SA MIDLAND UNITED CHIVAS

looks like a strong field with some great games lined up. So where is the feature that allows scores to be texted or emailed? I thought that was a standard feature on these tournaments but I can't find it.

Thanks 23. I guessed I missed it earlier when I was looking.

N.E.A. Comets 3-1 over DT West. They played better soccer. West just wanted to try to boot it over the top.

so in your opinion is the Arkansas Comets better then any of our north Texas 2000 teams

No. 2-3 of their best players were guests, I guess they still play 8v8 in Arkansas until u13. But still no, they were pretty darn good though.

Although I agree that from the back west just kicks it long they had 4-5 really good chances in the first half where they should have had at least 2 more goals

Well, results speak for themselves. They beat 3 d-1 teams, and did it with a number of 01's on the team. Clearly they can play with most 2000 boys teams in North Texas. They just proved it.

Didn't know their better players were guests. With that info I'd change my answer to no.

they are ranked #1 in state and region, wonder if guest players had anything to do with that ranking?

jimulon6 wrote:Didn't know their better players were guests. With that info I'd change my answer to no.

They are the Ark. state champs. They had 2 guest players. Their best players were not guests. We have a friend that plays on that team. They have been together for a few years. They do play 8v8 in Ark. So it's more impressive since they haven't played much 11v11.

The big forward that scored the second most goals by a mile was a guest and he made several runs from mid all weekend

Until today hurst united was ranked no1 in north Texas AND the region!! My point is that Because U 12 is the first season teams start accumulating points, there are some wild , meaningless rankings in there up to thIs early point in the season. My guess is the same thing happening with them. Can't put any stock in U12 rankings for at least a year. Can someone me up on this?

I'll add my vote there. You can be a top D1 team and drop in ranking simply because your coach chooses not to play tourneys. And if you do play tournaments, it depends on which tournaments you play and how much the competition in that tournament is valued by Got Soccer. You get a bunch of points for beating team ranked a certain number (200) above you at that time, at any time, and the team you beat loses. It's a numbers game that doesn't balance out until about U14/U15. Having said that, the higher your ranking the better your seed in any given tournament using Got Soccer, so that alone is a reason to hedge your bets and gather points.

If Arkansas Comets won the state championship, I would have to call their ranking legit, now Hurst United ranking is a different story, have they even won a tourney?

That was my point about the rankings silly. At this point they don't mean anything. And yes, Hurst actually has won a tourney or two. But you missed my point.
