    My boys play for AYSES and I can tell you that the drought really hurt us this year. The City of Fairview would not allow us to water at all. To make matters worst our pond was dried up. Pray more more moisture to come to North Texas. Can't control the wind.[/quote]

    I haven't seen the fields since last year. That's a shame if they aren't the lush green fields that they were. Wondered about the pond just over the berm. It's dried up, eh? Just please don't tell me they took away the snow cones. Smile

    Please, the fields out in McKinney were awful. Huge clouds of dust blowing into players' eyes, players slipping down right and left because there is no turf for their cleats to dig into, just hardpack covered with the remnants of dead grass. I guess you can blame it on the drought, but if you want to use that area for soccer, especially a tournament, there should have been some planning for water.

    I don't even know if they have alternate irrigation out there. Pray for rain, I guess. One of the Farmer's Branch complexes was nice. The other was dormant grass. Add wind and you are correct. Dust in the eyes. We had a very nice game against Solar there though.

    Responding to all those TFC parents who think FCD South/Franscisco parent disgrace our team. Let's talk about what is more disgraceful than having TFC parents make comments like " oh he died call the ambulance" when one of our kids is down or calling our kids losers when we were given a pk. Really???? TFC parents are what we as FCD parents are suppose to mimic? My response to that is "HELL NO"!!! We will stick to our vuvuzelas and cheering for our kids.

    Maybe tournament directors should be watching u guys next weekend.

    Oh and madisonmyers I think u should let soccerdad79 be the one in charge to bring the lollipops to your next game.

    "We will stick to our vuvuzelas"

    That's a little much don't you think for academy 9-10 year olds in sdl?

    I don't have a dog in this fight but really is silly blowing horns at this age

    We only played at Cox and FB. Compared to some of the small, hard, bumpy fields we have played on these were pretty good. Field 3 at Cox was tiny for 11v11. The 02 Boys final was scheduled there but the organizers wisely moved it to a better field.

    Who said that? of course no one should call any kids losers.I just see a lot of poor sportsmanship potential with vuvuzelas from anyone.....

    Like I posted on another thread, I watched videos of bad parent conduct for almost two hours last night on youtube and see how ridiculous most of it sounds. I hear some of the same stuff being yelled at refs and players in the games in North Texas. Some teams are great to play. Others for some reason there is friction. I'm going to try to keep it all in perspective. FCD Francisco, good luck in SDL and the upcoming tournament. I'm sure you will do well.

    EVERYONE, EVERYONE, EVERYONE..... Can we just move on.... FC Dallas & TFC Parents, seriously??? Can we just move on and quit talking about the past. Dont forget why we are here. Our kids is the reason why we are here but let's keep it positive and quit acting like children. We have to recongize that both sets of parents were taken over by emotions but it's past now. Let's concentrate on the future. HAVE FUN the right and respecful way. Have a great day...

    I agree. You are right. I was overcome with a lot of emotion after the weekend. Sorry everyone. Good Luck FC Dallas South in the Legacy Freedom Cup as well as SDL. Your team has some very talented players. I hope all the kids get through the upcoming weekend without any injuries and they have a lot of fun.

    Holy cow! One of the Liverpool tournament coordinators must have been reading this message board and made the changes.
    Too cool!
    FCD Francisco vs. TFC Larry this Friday night?
    I gotta see this one.
    FCD's in Gold. Good for them.

The South is coming strong and this is great for all the kids that live and play in the south. We all know and respect the north academies and believe we know that very well. As I said earlier my, son does not play for FC Dallas Francisco or TFC and where he plays is not the point here, we just need to make sure we are doing this for the kids we love and if you are a parent that really cares about that, then also show them how to respect the opponent, dont show them how to be hateful to others... Again, have a good day.

    Creeper, I do not mean bad, I actually respect everyone here including you. Cheers my friend...


    It's all good pal. So tell me what other teams do you see as impressive from the South.

    SOCCERGENIUS99>>>> IM SURE THE PARENTS FOR FC DALLAS ARE VERY THANKFUL TO YOU MR DIRECTOR OF THIS TOURNAMENT FOR MAKING IT HAPPEN. FROM WHAT I READ, THEY WANT COMPETITION AND WIN OR LOSE IT WILL BE A LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR ANY TEAM THAT PLAYS THESE 3 GREAT TEAMS. THEY HAVE MADE IT CLEAR THAT ALL THEY ARE LOOKING FOR IS TO PLAY THAT THOSE LITTLE KIDS HAVE WORKED SO HARD. BUT WHAT I DO NOT UNDERSTAND IS WHY YOU MAKE IT SEEM AS IF YOUR COMMENTS ARE MEANT TO BE HATEFUL. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TELLING YOU YESTERDAY. YOU PASTED THE SAME COMMENT IN 3 DIFFERENT TOPICS. WHY? IT FEELS GOOD? ARE YOU THIS PERSON AT HOME? COME ON MAN, WHY CAN ALL OF THESE PARENTS GIVE CREDIT AND CONGRATULATE THESE LITTLE KIDS OR ANY TEAM FOR THAT MATTER. WHY DO YOU STEP ON THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS? THAT IS EXATCLY HOW YOU MESSAGE CAME ACROSS. UP SO LATE, AND YOUR BLOOD IS GOING 100% JUST TO PASS ON YOUR HATEFUL MIND. UNBELIEVEABLE!!! THIS IS WHY I CALLED YOU STUPID MORON YESTERDAY. HONESTLY I STAND AND YOUR ACTIONS COMFIRM MY FACTS, YOU ARE DEFINITELY AN IDIOT THAT ALL YOU COME IN HERE IS TO TALK TRASH. IM VERY GLAD NO KID HAS ACCESS TO THIS, BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW ALL KIDS MEAN GOOD, THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO BE HATEFUL OR AT LEAST I HOPE. MAYBE SOME FAMILIES MAKE IT PART OF THEIR PRIORITIES TO TEACH THEM THAT AND I CAN ALMOST BET YOU THAT YOU ARE ONE OF THEM. YOU THINK YOU ARE BIG TIME HUH??? YOUR COMMENTS ARE AT TIMES VERY HATEFUL WHEN IT COMES TO AN ACCOMPLISHMENT OF ANY TEAM OR KIDS. BUT I THINK YOIU REALLY THINK YOU ARE BIG TIME. I BET YOU THAT YOU HAVE NO GUTS TO SAY THE COOMENT YOU MADE LAST NIGHT TO ANY DAD OF THAT TEAM??? TELL THEM THAT AND YOU WILL SEE. ANY DAD WOULD FEEL UNDERAPPRECIATED BECAUSE ALL PARENTS KNOW HOW THEIR KIDS WORK SO HARD. WHY CANT WE JUST TALK REAL SPORT IN A POSITIVE WAY? DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT IM SAYING TO YOU? DIDN'T I TELL YOU TO CHANGE YOURE NICK NAME BECAUSE IT DID NOT FIT YOU WEEL. IF I RECALL CORRECTLY I THINK I CALLED A STUPID MORON AND I THINK YOU ARE.

    I CHALLENGE YOU AS A CITIZEN AND LOVING FATGHER TO BE THERE FRIDAY AT THEIR 1ST GAME AND SAY THAT TO ANY OD THOSE PARENTS. THIS GAME WILL BE A VERY WELL HARD GAME AND I TOO WILL BE THERE TO WATCH AND CHEER FOR BOTH TEAMS, GET IT IDIOT BOTH TEAMS. SPORTSMANSHIPS... STUPID MORON....

    I KNOW YOU ARE A TFC PARENT AND I WILL ASHAMNED IF I KNEW YOU WERE PART OF MY TEAM. QUITE FRANKLY EVEN IF YOU WERE ON MY SIDE OF TEAM, I SWOULD STILL NOT STAND YOU AS HUMAN AND GOD IS GREAT BECAUSE IF YOU WERE EVEN ON MY TEAM OR THE TEAM MY BOY PLAYS ,IC OULD HAVE EVEN SALPT AROUND TO SHKAE WHATEVER IS LEFT OF THAT BAIRN OF YOURS. GO TO CHURCH AND ASK GOD TO REMOVE THIS HATE THAT YOU CARRY AND PRAY FOR ME TOO.LOL

    TFC AND FC DALLAS- GOOD LUCK. LET THE BEST TEAM WIN AND THAT BOTH TEAMS HAVE A GOOD TIME.REMEMBER WINING OR LOSING IS JUST A LEARNING EXPERIENCE. IF FC DALLAS LOSE IM SURE THEY WILL LEARN FROM IT, GET BETER NEXT TIME AND MOVE ON AND THAT IS WHAT ALL TEAMS SHOULD BE DOING. BUT INSTEAD WE HAVE A BUNCH OF HATEFUL IDIOTS AS MR GENIUS99.

    THIS WORLD IS CRAZY....
