My dd has played in LHGCL, ECNL, and college.  She's played in tournaments all over the country, and we never really saw much difference in the way games were called anywhere.  The most physical games she's had, where we were actually in fear that someone would be badly hurt before the game was over, were not even close to the Southwest, let alone restricted to North Texas or Lake Highlands.

Refs all over, call the game differently.  Some will allow almost no contact, with whistles blowing constantly, while others seemingly would allow a mugging with a billy club.  

In my experience, most players adjust to however the game is being called.  Would I like to see tighter games called?  Yes I would.  You'd see better soccer and fewer injuries.  What's not to like?

But it's just crazy to read how screwed up the referees (and virtually everything else) are in LHGCL, and how good everything is elsewhere.  There are some awesome referees here, and some really crappy ones.  Same as everywhere else.

The problem is a soccer problem, not restricted to Lake Highlands or North Texas.

The so called 'problem', if it is actually a problem, is that on the women's side the problematic style works (measuring stick being wins) all the way through the World Cup.

The pay for play needs to win can be managed if you change the way the games are called.  

It would change what player attributes determine who wins in most cases, and what coaches will focus on to try and win.  

Absolutely correct. if the refs would control the game from the start and send the message consistently the thuggery would stop in a couple of weeks. That's what's so silly. I would prefer to see an overzealous red card than a simple pk for blatantly knocking someone down. A few yellows and a red over one weekend would make a lot of teams rethink how they are playing.
