So question on scoring...they clip the max number of "Goals For" at 5 per game if you shut the other team out? Looking on the other side, it looks like Goals Against can be the true score? That doesn't make much sense to me. Anyone ever see this kind of Goals For scoring before?
FCD Premier scored 7, they show 6
Hilton scored 9, they show 7
SRSA scored 26, they show 10
Max goals for a game, I think is capped at five, for the tie breaker.

Seems like there would be no need for a tie breaker if they went with actual goal differentials.Amigos wrote:

Re: Texas Cup Predictions
Man a gold and silver split would have been nice for some of these teams. Nothing like paying all that money and knowing that you have almost zero chance of pulling out a win or even a tie. However in some instances it is nice to simply play another team that you normally don't play but some of the scores were just ugly.

Re: Texas Cup Predictions
Not sure I would have called a PK in that situation, but Solar did dominate 98% of the game. DT's goal was a well executed counter attack. Which leads me to your comment "pretty soccer". I've yet to see a team attempt to play anything like SRSA....building out of the back, or really string more than a few passes together with any intent. The kick and run, athletic game power game is as prevelant as ever around here. But its far from pretty.Socceristheword wrote:If it hadn't been for a really questionable ref call 30 seconds till the end of the game, DTS would have taken SRSA into overtime in the semifinals. Regardless, it was some pretty soccer. It's a shame they didn't get to fight it out the right way. Spring will be fun.

Re: Texas Cup Predictions
I have not seen all the teams in D1 play, but there are other teams other than SRSA that are trying to play a possession style of soccer. I will tout Sting Hilton as one that is playing possession with a purpose style and I really like how FC Dallas Premier played this weekend. When we played DT South this Fall they controlled the possession and did not play direct unless the situation dictated it. IMO, whenever you go up against a team at this age that is bigger, stronger, faster and more technical, the weaker teams tend to play kick ball, mainly, just trying to clear the ball out of their defensive end of the field. In the coming years, the possession teams will be able to play the ball out of the back effectively, this does not happen overnight. Yes, you are correct, at this point in time no one will be able to play anything like SRSA but you will see the gap close as the girls get older.ThisNameIsCool wrote:Not sure I would have called a PK in that situation, but Solar did dominate 98% of the game.

SRSA parents are the only ones who think no one else plays "SRSA style of possession" but that is false.
You see it with many 03 teams, the top 04 teams and even some 05 teams now. It is just the case of getting advanced players together early and coaching them correctly.
Sooner than later, all D1 players will be at similar levels of "advanced". That is when ECNL shows up...

It goes back to the old saying: "Play like you practice and practice like you play."
Few teams do that.

Re: Texas Cup Predictions
Other teams will catch up to them eventually because there are so many quality athletes around this area that as teams die out and fade away the top talent will get funneled to the top clubs. At the end of the day you can only put 11 players on the field and if DTS and FCD Prem can play them this close, just imagine what will happen when FCD puts Prem and Gold together for ECNL and Sting pulls from Sting G, Hilton, and all their other teams. It's just the nature of the beast.
