Solar Pulp vs FCD Blue           1-1         Blue is tough
D T South vs Andromeda      South 4-0  Andro's long kicks backfire vs a good team
FC Premier vs Defeeters       FC     4-0   FC to strong.
Texans vs Dallas Rush          Rush  1-0   Rush due for a good game.
Solar Red  vs Sting             Solar   2-0  How many assaults can the Fence take before goals come in?

No clue on D2 and 3.

In d-3 the LP Thompson v FWFC will be interesting. FWFC is very stout defensively. LP Thompson is just as good defensively. Cant disagree with 02suburbansoccerdad Sting v Saints should be very entertaining as well.

Solar Pulp  vs  FCD Blue         FCD     1-2  
DT South   vs  Andromeda      South  3-0  
FC Premier vs  Defeeters        FCD     4-0  
Texans       vs  Dallas Rush     Rush   3-0  
Solar Red   vs  Sting              Solar   4-1

D3:

FCD Barnes v. LP Owen:  LP Owen is ready for a breakout, I think Owen wins by at least 2 goals

Andro v. LP Dalglish:  This is a very interesting match.  Andro has opened with two tough opponents as had LP Dalglish.  This one may very well wind up a tie.  

Mustangs v. Rush:  Mustangs have yet to have a stern test.  Rush can beat anyone -- too tough to call, but I will go with Rush.

LP Thompson v. FWFC:  I think, right, now, FWFC is playing the best soccer, but has not had a difficult opponent, so we will  find out how good this team is.  Thompson needs to rebound after a tie, but it was an "own goal" by Owen, that allowed Thompson to get away with the tie.  I have to go with FWFC.

FC Premiere v. Feet:  FC Premiere appears to be the weakest team in the division, so Feet should get by them easily.

Solar Pulp 2  FC Dallas Renfro 1
DT South 3  Andro Red 0
FCD Premier 4  D'Feeters 0

Sting Dunstan 0 - Saints 1
Hard fought game that was back and forth the whole time. Goal scored with about 8 minutes to go and the Saints held off a late rally.

Well I was wrong the Saints are better than I thought. Credit goes to those girls. Solid work

Liverpool Owen -4
FCD -1

LP Dalglish up 4-0 @the half.

Sting Parker-1 Sting North-1

Congrats Saints. Hard fought game with plenty of chances on both sides. By the way, beautiful shot and score by your forward. Always fun playing yall and can't wait to do it again in the spring.

Oh My... First DTS and then Higgy. I suspect there are some parents from Higgy that are squirming. Maybe ???? I was only joking about the public hanging in my predictions. I hope no parents took that seriously. Lol.

Any commentary from either on the two Dallas Texans games?

Saw the second half of Texans/Rush game. Texans put lots of pressure on Rush. Texan forward hit side netting on a wide open goal. Rush scored early and held off Texans from what I understand. Texans missed PK in first half also. I did see Texans coach push the Rush coach after game. No idea what was said between the two. Very classy!

Solar Chelsea Pulp 1-1 F C Blue
Andromeda 2-1 Texans South
F C Premier 4-0 Defeeters
Dallas Rush 1-0 Texans
Solar Red 2-2 Sting
You can't go out there and shove the other coach. I saw that too. Desperation and low class. The taste of defeat.
Solar Red 2 Sting 2.
This could've gone either way. Solar was all over the place for a while at first, then Sting scored. Solar responded, only to be scored on again. 2-1 halftime. Solar scored midway through the second half. Sting was on them the last few minutes with a shot that hit the cross bar towards the end. Great game to watch.

DT coach really pushed Rush coach?

Yep.
Lots of people saw it. There was an eerie silence from the whole world as he walked by red faced and really pissed off. The other coach didn't respond and I wouldn't be surprised if he files a complaint. What kind of example is he setting for his players? Some of them saw the whole thing.
Some of the people standing around started coughing the ahem cough cough loser sound (oooooser!)
We called this the weekend of upsets and surprises.
Solar Red parents have a lot of class and took the tie with respect.

What precipitated the shove (besides losing)?

Come on people, we need details!

Texans are a very good team. They've hit a skid as of late. Not sure why their sweeper of a coupe of years was playing up, who knows. I heard Higg was dropping F-bombs last week after the Solar loss, now he pushes a coach. His TCU team is bad again. They have lost their last 3 and have a losing record. Maybe all this is getting to him.

Well, Joan, in all fairness to Higg, he's only the assistant at TCU.
