DTS 3
Andro 0

hows that

So you are saying that DTS's defense is better than DT Densk's?

Not at all. BEST THREE defensive players were not there on Sat. Thats right, BEST THREE. When was the last time anyone had excuse for winning? Two were out of town and one poss has a broken ankle from an earlier practice last week.

BTW, one of the Andro players should enroll in Buddy Riddell's ANGER MGMT course. Should hv been tossed out. Ask anyone who was there on either side they would agree.
Not his first time either.

I heard that Bazan was leaving the area to take a coaching position in Argentina. Was that another one of those soccer rumors ?

Yes, he's going to be the new head coach of River Plate.

Nice ! And he is taking half of the Andro99 team as starters for the club, isn't he ? Really Axx give us some updates on Andro a little bit. You might as well, the rumors people hear right now are not exactly healthy for the club...

i think trbl is really telling you that DT densk defense is on par with the the world's best and is headed for the premiership. perhaps, only Bazzan's team at river plate will be able to score on them.

c'mon, he was just giving a score. the utility of trying to rank, rate, classify, compare, and judge these young boys is rubbish. what does it matter? how is it going to affect their future? do you really believe that you can determine the final endpoint for a 9 or 10 yo boy? Most of the boys that are playing for the teams that get discussed out here are talented athletes. They all look good some days and make horrible mistakes others, all except for my kid... Does that mean they are headed for careers in professional soccer? Many of these boys will stop playing soccer over the next several years. Some will gravitate to other sports, some will make academics their priority, and some will move on to strictly socializing with the ladies... i love reading this stuff. it is better than Us, People, Natl enquirer, or TMZ...

So there is some truth behind the rumors?
This is what I am gleaning out of this particular post. Bazan is eventually leaving Andromeda, but Bazan is not divulging what his future plans are...Correct me if I am wrong in my assumption.
If this is true, I can see how it can negatively impact Andromeda in the short term. Josema is well respected and a very good coach.

It's like this every year. The coaches and teams all shuffle and everyone freaks out. There are some really good coaches out there, not just at the big clubs.

All in all , whatever team your with, NTX has some pretty good players, and some very good teams. By what I read on here, FCD , DTD , DTS , And Andro should win every game they play. But , the great thing about soccer , you never know who wins until the game is played.
And I feel that the only time winning is important is when the WC is played. And do kids really care 20 minutes after the game? We as parents are the ones who care the most. And in fact these youngsters would probably be embarrassed, knowing we post trash about them and the mates they play with. Hope all the best.

steamers: well said!!

hey scrdad, thx for the decaffeinated advice. if only i drank coffee or red bull...

Any predictions this weekend ? any upsets on the horizon?

anselansel wrote:Any predictions this weekend ? any upsets on the horizon?

The FCD Dallas Snell vs Solar Partain game will be interesting. Should be a good indicator that Partain's team may be progressing if they win. Same with FCD Waters, if they can beat the Wizards. I think DTS, DT Densk, and Solar Red should win this weekend. FCD Snell M should beat Boca.

anselansel wrote:Any predictions this weekend ? any upsets on the horizon?

I won't predict, but look forward to watching these two matches.

DT Densk v. Andro Red 2
DT South v. Andro Red


Also, two surprises (in a good way) are going at it which should give a good indication on which - if not both - are moving up towards the top teams group.

FWFC v. Vitesse

Are you holding your breath still slampg? I wanted to ask you do you know how the DTS group did today? Are they pulling away or falling back?

It would be great to hear your comments on this matter!

You were obviously there NoLo. They looked really good against Andro Red - won 3 to 1. They looked good. Definitely a top team, but then I've said they were all along.

What's your point? Annointing them kings after a good game? Relax... 2-0-1 doesn't make them anything other than a very good team.

They're a really good team that plays an attractive game... but I wouldn't hold my breath on pulling away from anyone at the top. The other top teams are also generally attracting additional talent as kids (or more likely parents) position for the qualifying tourneys this summer and the clubs finish up their consolidations at the top. Gonna be a fun spring!

Do you understand the word "may"?
Also why would anyone hold their breath about this matter?

Thanks for the grammar lesson... I now know what MAY means (thank goodness for dictionary.com). And sorry for not being more literal... holding breath was supposed to just indicate that I - like everyone else not a Texan parent - might not agree. Is English possibly your second language?

The DT South team is strong, no doubt, but have played even against top teams and beaten the teams they should beat. That's not pulling away in my book. Sounds to me like you've been drinking a little too much of the Texans' Koolaid. I think they MAY have put a little to much arrogance in that last batch.

Do you truly understand how player development works? Do you understand team development? Answer the two questions with some substance. So I will clearly understand your views of how a team can be evaluated. If you can not answer the two questions. I will clearly understand your inabilities of the youth game.

Have you got around to this yet?

"My point is you do not know what you are talking about! As far as youth player development and youth team development goes!"

But you are oh so knowledgeable, probably coached 4 year olds in rec and is now an expert.........yawn

Slow down and relax NoLo. While I agree that DTS is one of the top teams, there are other teams equally deserving of that title. It is very premature to come on this forum and start talking about teams pulling away from the pack. All the top teams will have good and bad games and over time they will probably come out even. Just enjoy the fact that there are enough quality teams out there to make these games exciting to watch.

All I said was they may pull away from the pack. I never said They will pull away from the pack. Look at the post. I'm very relaxed. Actually that is the first thing I say when a player gains possession. FYI I am not really looking at results of the games to close. I'm looking at things that are developing on the field from start whistle to end whistle.

I also believe their is one other team that is developing at much faster rate. I will get to them in about a month or two!

Sorry to tell you that they are all rec players to me.

looks like no major surprises, the rich get richer in d1 and d2

NoLo, I would be happy to discuss player and team development on a thread that has anything to do with it so why don't you start one. That way you can pontificate on things that you appear not to grasp too firmly on multiple threads. And frankly, it appeared to me that DTS won saturday because they were faster and more physical than Andro (I'm not an Andro parent). If not for that, they were fairly closely matched.

For the LAST TIME, DTS is a top team and so is Andro Red, along with FCD Premier, Solar Red, DT Densk along with a couple really fast risers...

Order should now be restored to the universe. And it is good to see you are starting to pay attention to language usage. Kudos NoLo!

You are totally off base. I am 100% sure you are ingnorant to assessment of youth teams. Stop trying to make this about me personally and lets make it about facts, true information and the make up rosters. The whole first page of this thread proves to me that you are trying hard to be able to pinpoint reasons of why teams are as good as they are. Here is something for you to work on for a couple weeks so you can have a better understanding of things. Coach Waters FCD is a fine coach. You just have to realize what the coach is working with and against. Please do your homework on this team. My question for you to work on is. In relation to comments in this thread do you still think FCD Waters will climb higher than they are now? Slampg do not take a offense on this. I am trying to make you better!

Wow, someone is full of him/herself. Why don't we all just agree to let this thread die?

NoLo, please forgive my ignorance. I wonder what purpose it is serving to call out Mr slampg or be critical of a group of 10 year olds in Jon Water's team? Slampg only gave his opinions. Whether or not the opinions of 9 or 10 yo's can stand the test of time is understandibly in question. They are opinions nevertheless and everyone is entitled to them. I do not see where Mr slampg offended anyone with his opinions of which teams he thought were top. I did not see him call into question anyone's ability whatsoever. Why the anger? And, why call out Jon Water's team? I have personally witnessed Jon and his training sessions. My child does not currently play for him. I am not a soccer professional, though I am a professional that works with children. I think Waters has a good team and has the potential, just like every other team in NTX has, to get better. These kids have good days and have bad days. They are anything but consistent. These 10 yo teams are going to continue to evolve with player movement over the next several months. If one thinks that they, as a parent, will get information on which team for them to transfer their child to based on the opinions of folks out here, so be it. There is still no reason to be critical of slampg. I will personally wait for the records in classic league to determine which team was tops for that respective year. For the record, I have no idea what gender slampg is or who he is, though I think I could make an educated guess.
