Based upon the scorebook for the SDL D1 02's the top ten teams from the Fall are:



1. LP Gerrard

2. DTS

3. Odyssey

4. Solar Blue

5. FCD Premiere Goncalves

6. Solar Dynamo

7. Solar Red Crushers

8. CVFC

9 FCD Premiere Snell

10. DT Scott

Outside the top ten are 12) TFC Larry and 13) LP Fagen.

As has been discussed before, these teams did not play the same schedules. However, the undefeated LP team is clearly a top 5 team and Odyssey has done very well coming out of D11 last year to move up to #3. Those two teams rankings may be a little inflated b/c of competition, but they are probably top 5 range teams. Overall, I would still say DTS is the top team and FCD Goncavles and Premier are better than their rankings. I also expect to see TFC move up over the Spring.

Will be good to see if LP Gerrard, Odyssey, and Solar Blue can get the tougher schedules in the Spring to see how they do. Also think that all these teams will qualify D1 classic league next summer if they stay together and keep getting better.

It’s great to see all these teams play well, as far as ranking goes I hope parents really look at these rankings with some humor. I understand everyone wants their bb’s team to be top ten/ top five, make sure you and your bb are having fun doing it. From what I've seen parents are getting crazy out there, to the point games are no longer enjoyable from the sideline. Even Cowpukesfan’s sister’s brother‘s friend’s mama agrees

Agreed. These rankings and really these scores mean very little other than something to throw about on a forum. The 02 age group has some really good teams and great individual players.

It was an interesting and enjoyable season. I wonder what the Spring season will be like. I do expect some player movement and we may see some slight changes.

You are hilarious. Nothing you post can be taken seriously as you are so biased towards your own team. Why not Liverpool Gerrard in the top ten. Your top ten includes Odyssea and DT Scott. Liverpool beat Odyssea 2-0 and beat DT Scott 3-0.

Your team played alot of the top 10. How did you do?

Hey SG the only thing laughable is the fact you have TFC at 6 would agree with top 4 but TFC 6 now that is funny

Agree 100%. You have parents jumping from club to club talking about kids and their parents. Some parents will do anything to ruin kids development and their future. What happened to kids developing?

Haha! Easily! You are clueless. I was at that game. Liverpool dominated the entire game. Your team had three shots and three goals. We had at least 70 percent possession. We have since added players and obviously we are scoring and not conceding now. Our team plays real soccer. (passing and moving). Not aggrsive kick ball which is what you played against us. The only FACT is we went undefeated.

These top 10 results are LAUGHABLE. Liverpool Gerrard in the top 10....lol. CVFC in the top 10...lol. SOlar Blue in the top 10....lol. DT Scott in the top 10...lol. Just Hilarious!!!!!!!!!

It is not really a ranking but the factual results from the SDL season. This is what happened on the field. Not much to argue about. I acknowledge that the schedules were different for many of these teams, and that is why any ranking is losely based and should not get anyone in much of an uproar. Additionally, some coaches may not care so much about the wins and losses but are focused on how their team played that week, or trying out new kids at new positions. These results and any rankings are purely for entertainment.

As for your team, TFC, I have seen you play and think you have a good team. Where it finished in the Fall is 12th, although TFC did have a very hard schedule. All of these teams should qualify for D1 classic next summer. Then there is no argument over rankings, just scores and results.

Our team beat liverpool Gerrard 3-0 EASILY. Your team came to our complex for a scrimmage and the game was over in the first 5 mins. Therefore we have played your team and I know what a top ten team is. I'm sorry but liverpool gerrard is not a top ten team. Thats fact, not fiction.

You confuse me. Your argument is that you played LP Gerrard in a scrimmmage once and won so therefore they are terribad?

How long ago was it? What were the field conditions like? Were all of LP Gerrard's best players there for the scrimmage? Have new players joined the team and other players left since this scrimmage? Have there been practices in between now and then where development could have occurred?

Unless this scrimmage was last week it seems like you'd need to take thier performance in SDL into account quite a bit more than what happenned at the scrimmage.

Oh yeah - Long time lurker, first time poster.

I think any game scrimmage, friendly or league game counts. In fact I believe Chivas is better then Barcelona since they beat them in Miami last summer. Barcelona best team in the world as if. They went 1 win and 1 loss against the Mexican league

Obviously you must not know the game at all because we were doing give n go's (1-2-1's and 1-3-1's) up and down the field on Liverpool gerrard this summer. After we scored 2 goals in the first 10 mins of the game, our coach took 4 of our best players off the field to allow 4 new players who have never even played academy soccer before. Those 4 players played the remainder of the half and the remainder of the game. So what does that tell you? You couldn't even score on our bench. You couldn't even beat our bench. We won the 2nd half 1-0 with our bench players. So I have no idea where this kickball and aggressive play comes from.

After the game some of us parents went up to our coach after the game and said "i thought you said this was a top 20 team?" He just shook his head and said "I thought so too".

I'm sure your coach is thrilled you are speaking for him, or "quoting" what he told you in confidence on a public board for all to see.

Soccergenuis99,

If you look at all the above comments this started as a fun, positive and harmless conversation. When you entered and mocked teams placement as hilarious you brought the whole feed down a few levels in the "class" department. In doing so I reacted and came down to your level. To everyone else I am sorry for this and I will not stoop down to Soccergenuis99's level of class again. I will simply laugh of the comments. So soccergenuis99 continue posting your low class stuff if you want to, it will not provoke a low class reaction from me.

Good luck to all teams in the up coming tournament.

Talks the same trash on the 99 treads. The TFC 99 team is a good team, but just cannot win when it is needed the most, getting into Classic. It appears that 02 Boys are good as well, but just can't seem to beat the better team. I see him talking about the scrimmage when he beat LP Gerrard, again a game that means nothing to LP Gerrard, but everything to Coach Larry and the parents of the 02 Boys team.

Please tell me this is the same guy that posts under the name TFC02Boys . . . there cannot be two parents on the same team like that, right?

Parents on the TFC 02B Larry team do not agree with the comments from SG99. We want the team to be recognized for the progress they have made and we appreciate your recognition. Of course, some of us are on the forum. But, we have no idea who is posting all this stuff. Some one must really want TFC Larry to look bad. We can not figure it out. Possibly, a team manager from another TFC team that has their BB playing for two clubs. They have a reputation for talking trash about TFC Larry. All I know is that whoever is posting all this stuff is giving TFC Larry a bad name. SG99 PLEASE STOP! Larry is not the kind of person that agrees with all this stuff. He does not want the team to have this kind of reputation. Anyway, good luck to all the teams.

Personally I think it was a great season. Look...we had a Oklahoma club come to test their club's performance in our league. That was cool. We saw great improvement over the season, and some pretty fantastic games played. A ton of tie scores, which means a lot of near equal teams. I see the humor in the competition. Have learned this season to sit on the other side of the opponent's parents and just enjoy the game. We all have some really good kids playing soccer well. As many of you have found out, the very players you are criticizing today could be a part of your team and club tomorrow. Or you may end up on the other club's roster. The W-L is just that. Doesn't reflect the talent or difficulty of their schedule. I don't think anyone was saying that LP Gerrard is the best team in the league necessarily. You have to give em props though. They won a lot of their matches.

WOW! Someone has a crush on our coach. [/quote]

One thing to be careful about is that teams don't want to scrimmage other teams for that very reason...it's really just about getting together to play a little soccer on a Saturday. Shouldn't be about bragging rights. And it makes it that much harder for a coach to find good competition to scrimmage if the winner brags about the score.

Nobody cares what the score in a scrimmage is. Its a practice game - that's the definition of a scrimmage - you typically don't have enough players on one team to do a full 11v11 practice, so you get together with another team to work on stuff.

If the coach is working on his defense, playing it out of the back, pushing the ball outside, pass-backs and support, set plays, or who knows what his area of concentration is for the scrimmage, it won't be on seeing if they can "win" the game. At least it shouldn't be - if that is what the coach is doing, he's missing an opportunity to work on his team.
