Don't think so. The goal they scored in the last game was a fluke! There has not been enough time for them to change the out come of this game.

Don't mean to offend, but while you have been in boy land, girls teams are solidifying and getting better. Not saying there is a team that can beat SRSA, but I think the gap is closing the closer we get to QT. Then again, I might just be feeling extra confident or had too much coffee today...

Be careful Herradura, you just may call "him" out to come on here with all his alias names and bash us all. Turftoe was just the warning shot.

Don't know about you scratching the surface, but SRSA is definitely very defensive of their team as you can tell. Looks like you struck a nerve, which is not hard to do just start talking about any team for that matter in NT Academy soccer.

In doing some homework, seems like if you think Sting G is closing the gap check out the UAL Boys U-10 Division Standings. Not sure losing 2-0 to a team SRSA beat 9-0 is closing the gap. If so, then the gap is really big and yes could be closing, but not very much.

Sting G has scored 5 goals all season to SRSA's 51. Numbers don't lie. Seems like the gap is still there.

51? Sounds like fuzzy math. I'm sure a dozen or so were lucky goals. And take away that superstar then see what's left. Besides those southern boys are probably being polite and not wanting to hurt a young lady.

yea, take her away and then they only win 6-1 instead of 9-1. lol

I liked SilentParent's image so much I thought it was more appropriate for your comment:



No such thing as fuzzy math, if you have not already you should watch these girls play. If you have an 03 then you should take your DD out and watch the game Sunday,it will be a very one-sided game and you will see the gap is not closing. Scoring is definitely not their issue, either is defense, or passing, or their first touch. I could go on, but certainly take a gander for yourself. You need to be the judge of their abilities.

Truly a team that represents North Texas as one of the premier teams in their age group across the country. I am certainly proud to have them from our area and root them on when they travel, as long as they don't play my DDs team locally.

I do agree with one thing - this team shows what is possible for 10yr old girls soccer. I try to watch them play once a season to judge where my DD and team are in comparison. I do think the gap is closing on all but 3 or 4 players on their roster. Without those players SRSA would still be the best team in NTX, but every 03 game would not be a blow out and two or three would actually be competitive.

There are these players in every age group that are ahead of their piers. SRSA just happens to have the majority of these 03 players on their team. These type players generally play up a year as soon as the rules allow. We can talk gaps, or this or that, but in all reality nothing matters until our girls turn 14 - at which time a number of other dynamics enter into play and change our entire soccer world and player landscape as we know it.

Been there, done that...

What I hear you saying Herradura is that the girls who are overworked, overcommitted star soccer players at 10 will be some where else or burned out by 14.

I agree, there are 2-4 special players on the team, you take them away an well the team is still really good but yes, the gap closes. It has been that way since the beginning of time. These players are impact players, but the supporting cast is still very good and I am sure trains just as hard. They have to play against the best every week in practice, than in itself is great.

If you were to take the entire pool of players in the age group and potentially rank them, SRSA probably has 14 of the Top 20 players from that pool. That is what makes them special, kuddos for them for building the team that it is today.

Very true that nothing matters until the later years of their soccer career, what does matter is their style of play. It is not the normal 'dump and run' of North Texas soccer. They have a possession style and can hold it and then drive through when they want with slicing passes and through balls. Again pretty attractive soccer for U10, soon to be U11.

Do they have weaknesses, yes but that is the goal of every team they play is try and expose them. They are not this supernatural team, but they are very good at a young age. For how long will they stay on top? That is the magic question? Does it matter, no! Who cares, I wish them the best and hope they can keep that team together, for North Texas sake. They have and can really make some waves on the national level.

Not really my point, but yes - the landscape will be different for many reasons. Most 03 girls have not even been playing soccer for 4 years, so its hard to tell what a player will be like in 4 years. The past shows us that at least 40% of girls playing now will not be playing by U-15

One word, Puberty. Until that kicks in this stuff is all for the parents.

I enjoy watching SRSA play, all the girls seem to know what they are suppossed to do and they do it. Whereas you might get that type of play for about 4 or 5 possession on some of the other top teams and the rest of the time its kick ball. Eventually that will change and the skills will level out and then the gap will close. Until then I don't see it happening. There are teams in the 03 group that could keep it close but they'd have to sacrifice trying to score for the most part to shut them down. So they might come out with a 0-0 tie or a 1-0,2-0 loss but at age 10 is that really what you want to be teaching?

Now onto the predication:
Solar Gio (3) LP RASE 03 (2) (I'm guessing the Gio team is loaded up this weekend so I'm predicting an upset)
FCD Predator (4) Cosmos (0)
Fever (2) Sting Mendoza (1)
Vitesse (1) Sting Goodman (2)
LP Keegan (2) Sting Gutierrez (3)
Sting Mendoza (1) Cosmos (2)


SRSA 5 - Sting G 0

Grandtcsoccer and till-I-colapse, you are not including the FCD Premier vs Sting West game.

Solar Gio (0) LP RASE 03 (4) - If it's the same team as last week, or the one before that
FCD Predator (4) Cosmos (0)
Fever (2) Sting Mendoza (0)
FCD Premier (2) Sting Davis (2)
Vitesse (1) Sting Goodman (3)
LP Keegan (0) Sting Gutierrez (4)
Sting Mendoza (1) Cosmos (2)


UAL Boys - Sunday
SRSA (10+) Sting Gutierrez (0)

FCD Prem 2 - Sting West 2

Thats what I get for copying his post.

FCD Premier (2) Sting West (0)

TGPL Gold

Solar Gio (1) LP RASE 03 (3) – LP RASE, only one goal allowed all season so far in TGPL.

FCD Predator (4) Cosmos (0) – Speed, Speed, Speed!

Fever (2) Sting Hilton (2) – Fever was very strong to start the season, but has faded some of late. Three straight losses.

FCD Premier (3) Sting Davis (1) – Premier may be beginning to peak at the right time.

Vitesse (2) Sting Goodman (1) – Vitesse logs first win of the season in TGPL.

LP Keegan (1) Sting Gutierrez (3) – Keegan will try to keep it close, but Sting G has too much

Sting Hilton (3) Cosmos (1) – 2nd game for both teams. Cosmos may be winded after Predator.

UAL Boys - Sunday
SRSA (5) Sting Gutierrez (1) – I’m going to buy that Sting G has closed the gap some, but not still has more ground to gain.

The 1 goal Sting G scored on SRSA was legit....who ever said it was a fluke was not at the game.
