There isn't a lot of depth. We didn't even really have an 08 team at all last year. Pulled over 95% of the top Lonestar 08 team to make the ECNL team, and then pieced together the RL team. I imagine more depth will arrive as they get older.
Close game today for the 08 ECNL vs Sting Black. Black won on a late goal. Good game and can't wait to do it again.

Re: ECNL-08
Neither should look past their Saturday opponents, Texans and DKSC, however, who are each good enough to beat anybody and will see the games as "must win" to keep alive any hopes of getting into title contention.
Big weekend for Albion, whose only loss was on a late goal to Sting Austin. Tall task, but two wins would springboard them into the conversation.
My guesses:
Saturday
Sting Royal -1 Challenge
Sting Black -2 Texans
Solar -1 DKSC
Sting Austin -3 Tulsa
CE -1 Celtic
Albion pick'em FCD
Sunday
Solar pick'em Sting Black
DKSC -1 Texans
CE -1 Tulsa
Sting Austin -3 Celtic
Albion -1 Sting Royal
FCD -2 Challenge

Re: ECNL-08
1. Sting Black - most complete team and clear title favorite
2. Sting Austin - held their own vs #1 and #3 last week and are probably the only team with a chance to knock off Sting Black
3. DKSC - Two big wins this weekend show they are legit.
4. Solar - beat up on the Oklahoma teams, but yet to post an impressive result against anyone else.
And the rest...
5. FC Dallas
6. Albion
7. Texans
8. Sting Royal
9. Classics Elite
10. Challenge
11. Celtic
12. Tulsa

Re: ECNL-08
If those are two of the best teams the Texas conference has to offer, there is a long way to go before either is a national title contender. Solar was undisciplined and sloppy. Sting Black was just playing kickball and hoping for a mistake. Both coaches seemed more interested in yelling at the ref than encouraging their team to connect passes through the midfield. It wasn't very pretty soccer.

Several Stings were seen in the U90 tourney, they won, not shocked.

Game of the weekend is Albion vs. Solar. Must win game for both to have any chance at postseason play.
