No games last weekend due to rainout but week three has the following games:

1. LP Fagen v. FCD Goncalves: FCD to win 3-1

2. Solar Red Crushers v. FCD Premier Snell: Snell to win 3-1. (Need to see more out of Solar Red to put them in the FCD Snell, Goncalves and DTS level of teams.)

3. DTS v. FCD Premiere Mark: Not sure if same team DTS beat 4-1 in first week, but pick DTS to win 5-0.

4. TFC Larry v. Solar Chelsea Dynamo: The game of the week with Dynamo winning 2-0.


Pick for the season is also that DTS goes undefeated and does not see much of a challenge. They may want to consider moving up as a team once they get into select to find some competition.

Will be some good results in week 3.

Solar Red Crusher vs. FCD Snell is always intense (probably have played each other 10 times in the past 2 seasons)in fact they faced off in the finals of 2 tournaments last year with each team winning one.

Dynamo vs. TFC should be a fast paced match as well.

Enjoy the matches parents.

WRG all the teams in this league will provide DTS a challenge both FCD Premiere (Snell and Goncalves) teams play well including both Solar teams. The season just started lots of good games ahead, this age group has a lot of talented teams. Good luck to all lets keep it positive.

I concur with WRG's numbers this week

What, you are probably right and I may be jumping the gun on DTS dominance just yet. But, I have heard the new additions are really good and make a good team even better than last Fall. However, it is only the second set of games for the season and there is a long way to go. This league will be fun to watch over the next month as there are a lot of very talented and great players on all these teams.

FCD vs Solar Crushers, 1-1
FCD vs DTS, 8-0 DTS

Anyone know the other scores?

FCD Premier had to play DTS immediately after Solar Crushers. Not sure how much that affects the result but playing Texans South when you are tired is not fun!!

8-0?!?
I guess DTS will continue to dominate for a few more years.

Maybe if they had a break in between the result might have not been so bad. Maybe 5 - 0 DTS.

It looks like your solar dynamo vs TFC larry prediction was very wrong.

TFC vs Solar Dynamo 1-0 TFC. It was a good game. Both teams played hard. Anyone else think the offset goals on the two fields is hard for the boys to see at Sting?

DTS game...FCD continued to fight the whole game even though they were getting beat. Can't imagine playing DTS after another game.

Playing 2 games in a row is tough, especially in a league comprised of the (supposed) top teams. Comes down to a coaching error, why wouldn't they just make 2 seperate teams? There's plenty of players... Coach had to know there was a chance he'd have back to back games

This game was never close; FCD had two shots on goal total and DTS rotated players keeping some starters off the field for extended periods of time. Back to back games can be tough, but FCD has a lot of players, especially if they can field two teams and with all the subs, the double header shouldn't be THAT difficult.

TFC / Dynamo was close, but in the 1st half that had the only goal Solar seemed to keep the ball (with the wind) on TFC's side most of the game. Props to the TFC keeper, he made some solid saves to end with a clean sheet. One break away is all it takes sometimes.

Not saying the DTS vs. FCD game was close. FCD kept playing hard even though they were getting beat. I give them props for playing hard and not giving up even when outplayed.

Solar vs. TFC...always a good game. I noticed that the Solar boys were talking to each other well on the field. The second half seemed really, really long. I wasn't timing it though.

Maybe next time they'll schedule these games better.

A back-to-back game?
That's just crazy!
Those little guys got a bum deal.
Sure, DTS would've still won, but who in the heck scheduled that?
Can't wait to hear about the Gonclaves/DTS game next week.
My brother-in-law's sister's BB had better bring his A-game against this DTS team.

Keep in mind the FCD Snell has about 20 players to draw from. Maybe more. I don't know how big a strain it is on them to play 2 games in a day. Though I wouldn't want them second one to be against DTS if I could choose.

Was out there with my son watching one of his friends that plays on Snell's Premiere team and I think any scores for Snell in this league don't have much meaning. He did not play what appeared to be his best players together and subbed them out more often that I have seen in the passed. HE truly looked like he was coaching to get the boys some experience and tryin different things and was not at all worried about score.

I don't think the lopsided loss to DTS means much at all from this game. (Don't doubt DTS is probably better, just not 8 goals better).

I don't have a BB playing PPL so I am relying on your "top" team parents to help me out. What I am getting from this is Snell put 2 teams together to play in a league made up of tough competition but does not play his kids to win. He is trying out something new with them regardless how it turns out. Why not do this in SDL & let other teams play PPL who are looking for competitive games?
Maybe this is what Snell is telling his parents because he might have made a mistake with 2 teams & with the way the schedules fall, its probably too much.

Not sure, but my son's friend played in both games and it appeared he has the same kids playing in both games each week. That is a lot of soccer for two hours back to back on those fields that look extremely large. We got there in the second half of the Solar Red Crushers game and both teams were running up and down the field. Watched the first half of the DTS game and still more running for the FCD Kids. TO answer your questions, it looks like the same team just playing back to back games. The lineups he puts on the field look different than what I have seen before and the kids that looked like the best players to me were not out their together. Some of them did not start in the DTS game and subbed in after a while.

This is all from a third party perspective, but that is what it looked like this weekend. IF he is not trying to win and just working things, I still say good for him. IT is not all about winning, as I have heard.....

Don't let the tall fellow fool you. He plays to win. His plan was to rest his starters to give them a breather at first but after he saw the game was out of reach he started to work things.

So...to sum it up...Snell ends up with 20+ players that he wants to keep as a pool to chose from come select. Then to adjust for playing time, decides to register as 2 teams, but mixes all the kids to keep from having to assign 2 teams, most likely so one is not labeled as "weaker" and have to deal with mad parents. He thinks it'll be a cakewalk with his exceptional coaching. Turns out, its not so now he sells the idea "that its all for development"

If he wasn't worried about the score, why did he get so mad at halftime that he sat away from his team and didn't speak to them?

He wasn't mad, he simply needed a full half to check game schedules on his blackberry, he doesn't like to miss the action:
