Premier League

So far have heard,

Solar 6
North OKC 0

Feet 2
Tulsa Blitz 0

Great job N. Texas!

Hurricane 5
Texans 0

Sting 5
TSC 0

-Sting still running on all cylinders. They are in a league of their own!!


-Texans gave a beating to a very weak team Blitz, and then took a beating from a good team Hurricanes. Yikes! Not!

Another couple of upsets, and I predict there will be a coaching change coming.


-'Feet had a poor start to PL. They lost to Hurricanes 2 - 1 at ATF last Fall, and then again to Hurricanes 2 - 0 yesterday. Then, only win 2 - 0 against Blitz a very weak team and the worse team in PL last season who had 0 wins, 11 loses, and 40 GA.

Significant changes to their roster this season; three games within a week and no scoring machine has materialized for 'Feet.


-Solar took care of business against two of the bottom three teams in PL last season, who had a combine record of 2 wins, 1 tie, 17 loses, and 88 GA.

Of the four teams from NTX, Solar had the easiest schedule this weekend. Again, they did take care of business!

Solar/Sting and Texans/Feet faced the same opponents. How was one easier than the other in those two pairs?

I was expecting someone like you with a reading deficiency to ask that question. I'll only respond to the Sting/Solar match-ups. Sting will be Sting! Any opponent, time, place, ..etc. is probably irrelevant. But, perhaps you disagree, and don't think Sting is that good. Do you? As for Solar that's a different case. As I've already commented they did take care of business against some very weak teams. But, perhaps you've been impressed by TSC and NOKC in the past, and have a different opinion about them. Care to comment on that?

I'll comment on you being a jerk. Your post said "Of the four teams from NTX, Solar had the easiest schedule this weekend". That's simply not true. If you had said "Of the three lower echelon teams, Solar had the easiest schedule, no argument there.

Care to comment on your ignorance, or how lame the knee jerk insult was that you tried to use to overcome your stupidity?

I'll just wait here on the edge of my seat for some more of your spellbinding commentary. You really offer up some amazing insight that you just can't get anywhere else.

3 of 4 OK teams are generally pretty weak (considering they are the 4 best teams in OK) ... probably D2D3 at best.

But YIKES! ... that 4th OKey is really good.

Not quite Sting good, but closer than most.

Good game through half 1-0 Hurricanes and played very evenly ... then the wheels came off ... all four of them plus the spare.

On the whole, I would rather have spend the 90 minutes doing that "stick your hand in the whole and let the catfish bite it thing" that they do in Oklahoma than watching that game.

It's called "noodling" I believe. Wouldn't want to try it sober.

For what it's worth, I'd rather let catfish chomp on any of my appendages than watch that game.

Oh, and a special thanks to the Mobilehoma soccer federation and HFC for arranging for Hurricanes to play both their games this weekend on an Academy league 90 yard field.

Refereeing on Saturday was fabulous-the kind of crew we just don't get in North Texas. Consistent, strong, in shape, and vocal.

Refereeing yesterday was not as good, but totally irrelevant to the game.

ok just so i am up to speed, Lonestars Red is now Lonestars Elite and playing ECNL and Lonestars White is now Lonestars Red and playing in PL,correct? Regarding D'Feeters, I would be a liar if I said I wasn't looking at getting rid of the Hurricane monkey on our back this weekend especially since their stud forward was sitting out due to injury but they are a quality side and got behind our defense twice and we paid for it. Second half was 0-0 and we had our chances and just failed to capitalize. Feet did make significant changes this year and we're still adjusting as a team on both sides of the ball but I think we will be just fine once it's all said and done.

BD,
You are correct with the lonestar situation.

Very concise as always. thank you for the confirmation.

Thanks Cnote and congrats on this past weekend. On a side note I have to agree that playing on the short field against Hurricanes was lousy. I try not to gripe about refs but the ones calling our game against Hurricanes really did seem to be a bit biased. It was just fine for them to tug and pull on our girls but if we made any contact the whistle would be blown. Hand ball by us and foul, hand ball by them nada. When it comes to reffing I just want consistency with their calls nothing more nothing less. One of their hand balls was in the penalty area and though I dont think it would have changed the outcome of the game it should have been called but what the heck that's soccer. I didnt have a problem with the second games crew as they were much more consistent on their calls on both teams and really that is all I expect from the refs as I know it is a thankless job.

We have had the same problem, I'm glad were playing them in Dallas. As you well know we can push with the best of them, they just need to play. Hurrianes could play alot better without all of that. It looks like my DD will be out a few more games, I think between LHGCL, PL, ECNL, USYS, High School. Add that up playing most of the minutes, and 72 games later. I think my kid is a little fatigued. We will figure out a better way for sure.

Cnote:

Know where you are coming from on the fatigue and injury front. We played this weekend with 13 and have four out with a variety of non-trivial injuries mainly due to overuse.

We have a core of kids planning to sit out HS just to build in a little extra break - my dd included.

I didn't think I would ever hear my dd say she was tired and needed a break but just 10 days rest following Regionals, ODP, ECNL, then almost straight into 2 a days was tough. I cannot imagine what it was like for Sting 95 group!

BD and Texan group -- see you this weekend - how come we are heading your way again???

Sorry to hear about your dd Cnote. Hope she gets better soon but don't rush it as that usually backfires on you. Whitehart, it will be good to see you. Not sure why y'all are back in Dallas but I'm not gonna complain

Thanks, we won't rush, we have more than enough players to maintain smile. Hay don't leave me out of the party it's been a while, see all of you Saturday.

WOW! You must have had the same ref crew that we had when we played HFC 97. They had 20 free kicks by halftime. We had a player pulled down in the penalty area by the keeper who missed the ball and ref said "play on". Go figure.

I guess that is what we would call an AWAY game

BD,
You are correct with the lonestar situation.

Thanks CNote...I still don't understand how this works though? I thought PL was supposed to be top team(s) from the area (Oklahoma, NTx, Stx, etc.). I didn't think it was simply up to the club to decide which team they were going to send. Seems if Lonestars Red/Elite didn't want to play in PL, the opportunity would fall to the next best team from Houston/Austin, not simply the next best Lonestars team. Just didn't think the club had that discretion. Otherwise, why wouldn't Sting do something similar and send Sting West or some other team from the club?

Don't get me wrong, Lonestars White/Red may be a great team and may do very well in PL. I'm just saying I don't understand how the Lonestars club gets to decide who to send.

The way I got it from my contacts in Austin, Red/Elite the ECNL team lost in league play and at the state level, however there ECNL status is still in tack. IMHO there maybe some in house stuff happening with the two teams. I gather it was a one point difference in not making it into PL.

Is it from losing at the state level or the in-house stuff that was the point in difference? Just trying to figure out the tack that cause them to choose ECNL. Then, how they still have red in PL in tack?

The top 4 teams from Ntx and the top 4 teams from Stx aaahhh nevermind....Albion is back in Premier and the team fka Lonestars Red is out. Oh yeah, Whitehart,maybe since we traveled last week we don't have to travel this week. Y'all played PL at home last week correct?
