Great points. I've taken all of those things into consideration, and I can say with confidence that I have the accurate information. I have the Texans record at 8-2-1.... I was simply correcting Goldenboy's claim about Texans South. I know several parents throughout all of the clubs with kids playing on the Top teams, I use that network to source and vet the results listed. I'm willing to share via PM if you're interested. Doesn't sound like you are, and I agree that it's better to watch the games.

No, as your screen names says, seems like you have the facts that matter. I don't really care enough about the teams' records. It doesn't really tell me much. For example, I heard one of the Texans losses was due to poor goal keeping. They dominated the game, but lost on 3 goalie snafus. I heard that FCD dominated Solar West last weekend, but ended up losing on a free kick towards the end. lots of stories like these that don't show up in the score lines. I'm more interested in how a team plays versus the score line. I'd rather see a team play great soccer and lose than see them play sloppy soccer and win. Generally great soccer will win, but at this age it doesn't always work out that way. I'll have to check the schedules and see who's in town this weekend and maybe go watch a game or two and see how they play.

Sounds like a great plan. Looks like your son's team plays Rise this weekend. That should be a good game for you to watch.

Ha, that's funny cause I was leaning towards watching that game. I've heard some good things about Rise. I have some good friends on the Texans so that's probably where I'll end up. Solar and FCD South is another interesting option. Weather may also dictate where I end up. If it rains I'll probably be at the Solar game since it looks like they are playing on turf. I have a few friends there as well so either way should be able to catch a good game.
