I believe the DT Scott player you are referring to ending landing with Sting West, which makes their seeding in King Tut even worse.  She was a strong player up top and would have been a great addition to our team (Odyssey).  At the same time, our Mids and Forwards are finally figuring out how to work together to get the ball in the back of the net, which we had been struggling with for the past 6 - 9 months.  Our defense has always been our strength and we did pick up 2 solid additions there.  This weekend will be telling for us and for a lot of other teams.  

On a related note, we scrimmaged Sting Gutierrez (Donavan) this past Saturday and their team looked a little different (only had one sub).  Someone told me they had lost a player or two to RASE (or Dalglish)?  Not sure if this is true . . . I will be curious to see how the LP Elite and Premier teams look come qualifying.  Heard both teams retained their core but welcomed quite a few new additions as well.  Like many, I wished they would have played in King Tut.

This weekend will be informative as to which teams have gotten stronger and which ones weaker with all of the recent player movement up to signing.

Good luck this weekend to all the girls - have fun, play hard, and get better.  To all of us parents - let's be encouraging and respectful.  Soccer is a great game - like so many sports, though, screaming and ranting and complaining rarely has any positive impact on the players, the refs, and the opposing team.

I will clear the rumor up now.  The RASE team is intact as a whole not just the core with a dalglish player and a DTS player added.  Dalglish was also intact with I believe a couple of players added.  Both teams are stable rosters so should be exactly what they were before

Thanks for the clarification - you know how rumors can be.  At one point, people were saying numerous girls had left RASE and Dalglish was looking for girls - glad to hear that the teams are intact with little change.  

Rumors - you mean like the 2 (or is it 3) that supposedly signed with Stark and the other two that were supposedly gonna sign with Stark that went back to Dalglish?

I'll clear all this up since apparently GO  wasn't clear enuff earlier??  Or this is just another stab by knk.  Here we go. As usual knk you have no idea what your talking about (Big surprise) !  Dalglish had 14 players. One went to RASE leaving 13 original players Dalglish then and added 2 from Sting.  RASE. added one from DTS   Both teams are fine w 15 players each.

Yes, much greater than my kid.    But not as good as Go's on that team, in that position.   Get it straight man.

NOBODY has stated the obvious conspiracy theory as to why RASE and Dalglish are not playing this weekend?  

They have top seeds more or less locked up...but their sister teams (Owen, Redknapp, St. John, and Carragher) could benefit by using the 2 "guess" players allowed by the tournament rules?  Wouldn't it make good "Nazari logic" to put a couple ringers on each of those teams to improve their seeding position for QT?  

Where are all my fellow conspiracy theorists?  C'mon guys...this one is obvious!!!

I thought if we "insert Rase player here" we automatically win the game.
