Lake Highlands already fixed it!

So...
DT White goes 3-0-3 with a gd of -8 (28 pts total) = LHGCL
East Tex goes 2-2-2 with a gd of -8 (25 pts total) = LHGCL
FCD Central goes 3-1-2 with a gd of -4 (29 pts total) = Plano

Yah....the new format works great.

It's not that it doesn't work. Win and everything else takes care of it self. BWG actually cited Goodman's previous 03 team in mentioning how the old method had flaws too. Odd that the new setup also kept him on the outside looking in.

Yah I'm not in favor of the new format. They just need to "Re-seed" for Round 2 according to Round 1 results

Central knew what was in front of them in round 2 but they weren't able to get it done.  Maybe the new format works better?

FC Dallas White went 2-1-3 with +9 goals (32 points) and still missed out. It happens.

Yeah...lets see...over the last few weeks....Central:
Dominated Sting North Angell, but...lost on a PK (long ball counter). This team is now in D1.
Tied Kicks. This team is now in D1.
Beat Aztecs. This team is now in D3.
Dominated Andromeda, but succumbed to one of their famous long ball counter attack chances. Andro in D3.
Only other loss was to RASE.
Yep...Definitely not a LHGCL quality team. Guess we need to go to Plano and learn how to score more goals... This building up from the back, controlling possession into the attacking third nonsense is only allowing the opposing defenses to get in front of the goal in time and is killing our scoring...we need to get a really fast forward and just send it as far as we can with no direction and hope she can run on to it. That seems to be the winning formula...silly us.

But, but, but, oh, and but! All that sounds like a good representation of a LHGCL team who could compete, BUT, your team did not accomplish the goal at hand in Round 2. The coach S-T-B and could not adapt and score goals, bottom line. Best of luck in PPL or D1 Rec or whereever your team ends up.

You are doing your team no favors by making excuses.

Ok, please, let's get a little perspective here.


FC Dallas White - take out games against likely PPL D2 competition - teams ranked below 50 (where FC Dallas White outscored opponents 12-1)

Against PPL D1 level teams: 0-2-0 - 1 goal for, 3 against

Against LH bound teams:  0-1-1 - 0 goals for, 2 against



FC Dallas Central - take out games against likely PPL D2 competition - teams ranked below 50

Against PPL D1 level teams: 2-0-0 - 3 goals for, 0 against

Against LH bound teams:  1-0-2 - 1 goal for, 8 against (7 of those were against RASE).



Kinda hard to argue that a team who did not beat a PPL D1 level team should be in LH.

Once again the FBR comes through and shows why these teams don't deserve to be in LH. If you can't beat the teams in PPL, there is not much to have sour grapes about. Good analysis Truth...

Per FBR (which historically, has been accurate) FCD central was on the bubble. Judging from the results, it appeared to be accurate. They beat teams ranked lower than they were. They didn't beat the teams ranked higher. Seems to be, they could be on the lower end of D3 or may be one of the favorites to win PPL D1.

Spoken by a parent that in a few short years will say "she left soccer for another sport...it was her decision" after her team either gets relegated, or she doesn't make an ECNL roster (and gets tired of the incessant pressure and butt-chewing) Enjoy this while you can...the self-worth you gain from living vicariously through your dd is going to take a beating soon. Have the xanax at the ready my friend.

Not making any arguments about FCD White not being in LH or comparing them to other teams. Not winning/having enough points cost them the qualification. Relax.

Beat Aztecs in week 1 of QT.  Central was a #3 seed in Bracket B, finished 2nd in bracket behind #1 RASE.
Aztecs kept original seeding and got a much friendlier bracket for week 2....and qualified for D3.

You guys were the #1 seed in your bracket on week 2. How much higher did you want to be placed?

Or had you not tied the #58 ranked team in week 1, this convo would not be relevant. It happens. No need to be bitter. Had they reseeded based off of week 1 results, where should a team that tied #58 be? #57 or #59. Take your pick.

everyone kept the same seeding. And looks like Andro went 4-1-1, (only loss to 3rd seed and tie to 24th seed-5 higher then they were seeded at 29) and would have made it even if they lost to you.

Whats funny is you are posting on another topic about being patient and learning correctly...which I agree with. Then you come over here and talk about how your dds team dominated all of these teams that "play bad soccer"...but they had the audacity to score a goal so you lost. I think several of those teams might just play better soccer also. Central Premier did get screwed in the second round. They should have let the kids get reseeded on what they earned. Central Premier is a very good team and will do well over time. But 10sdad might not be able to handle another goal being scored on them.

Honestly....I'm surprised the FCD Central did not make it in DIV 3.

But here's a couple of things:
1.  Nobody picked FCD Central to upset Andromeda (play hard..YES, but no upset)
2.  FCD Central was really playing for one of the two at large spots anyways.
2.  DIV 3 is about POINTS...and 20 points is the magical number.
3.  The lack of scoring 3 goals against lessor ranked teams in order to get FCD Central 20 points, eliminated them.  Just like in Round 1.......It was the "Points" that made the 14-20 spots (actually it was 19 points)

Sidebar:
CJ Goodman is a good coach.  He is a great developer and his history has proven that his teams do compete.  I believe this team has not been together but only a few short months (2?).  Just imagine if the team was together since January.....they most definatley would have made DIV 3...and quite possibly do well enough to sneak in for the lower end of DIV 1/2 (but that is debatable).


Now with this being said......kudos to Andromeda.....they have proven my theory that they have improved (even if they are playing BOOTBALL?    ).

Now that all the D-3 talk is over. I would like to present 10sdad with the coveted A$$ of the day award. Please download my avatar and insert your picture. Congratulations! Display it proudly.
