01 LH QT Round Two Predictions and discussions

Congrats to all eight teams making it to round two, unfortunately some very good teams will not make LH this year. Below are the revised brackets and my predictions. Please post yours:

Bracket A
001) TEXAS REDSTAR 01G
002) STING FT. WORTH '01 (O'KEEFE)
003) KICKS SC DALLAS KICKS BLUE SC 01
004) INFINITY FC 01 GIRLS

Bracket B
001) AFC 01 RED
002) AZTECS FC LADY AZTECS FC 01
003) FRISCO FUSION 01G
004) NTX STRIKERS 01 BLUE

Bracket A
Texas Redstar
Kicks Blue

Bracket B
Frisco Fusion
NTX Strikers

Tiki I think with the changed brackets this is going to be tough.

A.  Redstar playing the best soccer. Infinity (Everyone hates them for getting in on a crazy rule if they take the me against the world they get in.)  If I go bye the who is playing better soccer I chose Kicks Blue.  Sting didn't see so can't comment noticed they struggled against AFC.

Picks.  Redstar, Infinity (against all odds)

Bracket B.  Looks know to be the tougher bracket see the world really isn't fair.

AFC Red tough gutsy team, Aztecs a skillful team, Fusion PPL Champs, Strikers finding the back of the net.

Picks.  AFC Red and Strikers.

2 PPL and 2 Classic and 5 teams (including LP) upset at LH and taking it out on PPL or Arlington in the fall season.

A: Redstar, Kicks

B: Fusion, Strikers

A:  Redstar, Kicks Blue

 B:  Frisco Fusion, Lady Aztecs

Aztecs had two good King Tut wins over Kicks Blue and NTX Strikers.  Their Round 1 performance was nothing special, but they took care of business.  If they can withstand the NTX Strikers size advantage, they get in.  Really think Fusion, Aztecs, Strikers could play 5 matches against each other and there would be different winners each time....

Bracket A - Redstar & Sting

Bracket B - Aztecs & Fusion

Redstar, Kicks
Strikers, Aztecs

This is the list for me as well....

Frisco Fusion beat NTX Strikers 3-1 in King Tut two weeks ago. Fusion didn't have any guests (we had just 13 girls playing that night.) Not sure about Strikers' roster for King Tut. In Fusion-Strikers game last fall, Strikers scored two goals in the final five minutes to win 2-1 and hand Fusion its only PPL loss.

Fusion went 1-1 against Aztecs in two June tournaments but I'm sure there were lots of guests on both sides.

Should be a fun tournament and great competition!

Check your stats. Fusion did not tie Aztecs. Fusion was able to beat Aztecs 3-2 at Flamefest. Aztecs were missing a few key players and had 1 guest player. The next weekend, Aztecs beat Fusion 2-0 with their regular roster.

I will say both brackets are tough and there will be no easy games. Good luck to all!!

Correct. Both Fusion and Aztecs won a game. That's what I meant by split. I always write my ties in the NFL way and not the soccer way.

Good on Aztecs for having their regular roster for one of those June tournaments. Fusion had a bunch of guests and starters missing both of those games. I remember Aztecs to be a good, tough team so Saturday should be fun.

My bad! I misunderstood your statement. Naturally I was a little quick to defend the DD's team.

this weekends games are going to be hot. Should they allow a water break? lol... just kidding... But really, its going to be steaming hot.

You know, I'd be okay with a 7am or even 10p, 11p or midnight games just to skip prime time heat. How cool would it be to have a midnight tournament? I hear in Alaska, during summer they have midnight tournaments, since they have daylight 22-23 hrs/day

i like your thinking scarfone...tournament in Alaska, now i could handle that..haha

It S-U-C-K-S!!!

Oldest DD played in her 1st and LAST "Midnight Madness" softball tournament last month. Games played from 8pm-8am on Friday & Saturday night. Never again. It was brutal for everyone, DD's and adults.

01 QT game of the weekend will be Aztecs v. Strikers tonight at 8.

Aztecs played a tight game with Fusion this morning. Game was won by Aztecs' superior speed and athleticism.

Strikers were slow out of the gate, but man-handled AFC in the second half.

Tonight will be a game to watch.

I was just telling the wife yesterday, this would be awesome for soccer. We love the softball midnight madness tourneys.

Congrats to Zerocool and 9156 for nailing the predictions. Congrats to all teams!

Funny, I just got an advertisement for a Midnight Madness soccer tournament today.  It's in Louisiana and right during the fall season, but the idea is good.  Fun Halloween idea for the girls! (Parents... not so much!)
