01 LH D3 Poll Sept 7th 2013

Good Luck everyone.

so nobody is picking DT Red? I think NTX Strikers beat the Redstar 3-0 at least.

NTX Strikers v Redstar appears split down the middle.  Hard one to predict.  Saw both teams play in QT.  Different styles of play.

You got the score right but my money's on Redstar

You know, i may reconsider this game. Redstar has a very strong defense and seems to hardly ever give up goals. NT Strikers win by 1 goal or its a tie. But i guarentee that Strikers control majority of the possession of this game.

That has been a constant for Redstar since U9/U10. I have seen them get dominated in a game and never give up a goal. The have a very good keeper too.

Any predicts for biggest blowout if any?

I'd say Lightning Black over Kicks Blue.  Nothing against Kicks Blue, but Lightning's players appear to be a year older than those of every other team.  Not saying they are a year older, they just recruit 'em big and then play the vertical passing game.....

Completely agree

Ugh. I guess that works for the short term, but long term . . . not so much.

Any commentary on today's games?

Four shutouts and a 0-0 tie today.  Definite polarity early in the season.  Lotsa soccer left before end of April, but teams can't afford to get too far behind if they want to get a D2 lift for U14.
