FCD DA vs Solar DA '05
I had to go and watch the Thrilla at Toyota this past Saturday. I think the match lived up to all the hype. These are definitely the two best teams in North Texas.
Random observations:
** Solar was more physical.
** Solar was without 3 of their best players. FCD was without 1.
** FCD plays a very loose defense.
** game should have been a 3-3 draw but FCD's goalie made some unbelievable stops and FCD missed 3 easy scoring oppty's that they could not finish. Solar's goalie is also very very good.
** both teams play a modified boot ball. kinda ugly. both coaches need to take classes from possession-style wizards like Chris Pulpaneck and Juan Martinez.
** both coaches were fairly mellow and on their best behavior. neither sideline was out of control either despite reputations to the contrary.
** you won't see any faster players than Solar #7 and #10 and FCD #3 and #12 at this age group.
** Solar #17 could prob play '02 and make impact. College coaches gonna have her on speed dial.
** can't wait to see them play again in the Spring.

Random observations:
** Solar was more physical. Agreed. Not sure why the center ref didn't see it that way. Lots of calls went against FC
** Solar was without 3 of their best players. FCD was without 1. Rumor is these 3 no longer play for Solar DA, so this is a moot point.
** FCD plays a very loose defense. Agree,Defense was unorganized at times. Same could be said of Solar
** game should have been a 3-3 draw but FCD's goalie made some unbelievable stops and FCD missed 3 easy scoring oppty's that they could not finish. Solar's goalie is also very very good. As a former keeper, I would disagree that either keeper had that big of an impact. Sure, both affected some shots, and both played well, but I am always biased towards keepers. Ultimately it was both team's strikers inability to finish that kept this game from being a much higher scoring affair. But job well done to both ladies.
** both teams play a modified boot ball. kinda ugly. both coaches need to take classes from possession-style wizards like Chris Pulpaneck and Juan Martinez. Especially in the case of Solar. How much longer does this style of play remain effective? FCD at least attempted to connect passes on the ground. But, when 2 athletic teams such as these apply such high pressure, the tendency for kids is to just boot the ball away. So I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt here.
** both coaches were fairly mellow and on their best behavior. neither sideline was out of control either despite reputations to the contrary. Shocking. Kudos parents
** you won't see any faster players than Solar #7 and #10 and FCD #3 and #12 at this age group. Solar #7 has blazing speed. There are some kids in this age group with some serious wheels.
** Solar #17 could prob play '02 and make impact. College coaches gonna have her on speed dial. Pump the brakes amigo. She is certainly physically imposing for an 05. I do agree that coaches will see her statue and be ready to sign her up
** can't wait to see them play again in the Spring.It was a fairly even match. Going in, I would have given the edge to FCD, and I would still say FCD comes out on top of this matchup more often than not. Simply based on style of play.
I guess it's all about perspective. Just my .02
