Well now thats cleared up! A person that thinks he knows OK soccer from TX, great just like he was rating Cali teams, i'm from San Diego! LOL maybe i should just make up observations about N TX teams I know nothing about to place it in the ether. Either way he knows nothing about these clubs other than his so callled OBSERVATIONS and JUDGEMENTS! The good old folks at The ECNL and USSF must not have realized they need the input on who to place in their own leagues. Stick to what ya know!

First off let me apologize if I came off as trying to tear down TSC. Wasn't my intent. Really was just making a point I didn't think TSC not being included was a negative for DA in this region.
Admittedly, I'm just a ntx parent, have absolutely zero inside knowledge of USSF's club selection process, and know nothing about TSC's financials, coach credentials, or past national team history. I've watched two age groups play multiple times - 00s and 01s.

Been very impressed with what OFC has put on the field over the years, and likewise, other than a very solid academy team that used to travel to NTX back at u10/u11, what I've seen from tulsa at those age groups wasn't really close. Clearly drawing conclusions based on a limited perspective is flawed. Acknowledged. We all want the best for our kids, so no personal disrespect towards players or families (or the state) was intended.

I love it when my suppositions are confirmed! Your daughter(s) played against the 00's and the 01's...No wonder you have a low opinion of TSC! The 00's have been screwed up for years. Don't know much about the 01's 'cept they're in last in ECNL Texas League. Don't blame you for your opinions...on the other side of the coin, I now know why you have such a high opinion of OFC...their 00's are VERY good and their 01's are EVEN BETTER. But on both ends, a bit of anomaly as far as the clubs go...Good luck to all and look forward to ECNL play and hopefully DA play against all your excellent teams in the coming years!

PS Anyone know if OFC 01's still have that idiot in the pork pie hat that yells "Money" right next to your goalie when his daughter (I think it's his daughter) shoots on goal? On BOTH ends of the field (poor etiquette, but some people have little to no class...)

Zizou - appreciate the support brother.

Also, will Tulsa be giving out DA scholarships to Texas athletes?  Isn't that the Oklahoma way?

My first sentence was referring to the four NTX DA spots only; I was hoping for less with no cares given to which Clubs were included.
