Lonestars 02 Red
Yes we did beat them, but they are a really good team. I mentioned in a Labor Day post how good they are. We, Fever, haven't played the top LHD1 teams in a few months, but I can tell you that this Lonestar team can hang with the best of them. Their possession is the best I have seen in the 02 group. Yes that includes LHD1 02's. I know an earlier poster said they have a direct style of play, that wasn't the case when we played them 3 months or so ago. They moved the ball beautifully. It was impressive. Their biggest weakness was in the final third of the field. They just couldn't figure out how to get a scoring opportunity. They continually turned the ball over around the top of the 18 and couldn't figure out how to get numbers forward. Maybe they were missing some forwards over Labor Day, that then made it up here for the Texas Cup. What ever the reason, looks like they figured out how to score. This team is big, physical, fast and skilled. They are an excellent team. We just made the most of our scoring opportunities when we played them.soccer newbie wrote:Lonestar 02 Red is a good team, but I know that Fever Red 02 played them in a tournament this summer and beat them 1-0.
Albion from down south, is a very good team as well. We tied them in the finals and lost in PK's. Something else to remember is that the southern teams are getting their first taste of 11v11. Maybe that is why Lonestars had a difficult time in the final third over Labor Day.

There are several posts where they'll say, "they are a good team, but we beat them. They couldn't stop our elusive forward and are extremely fast & tall GK"

They did the same thing with their 01 red team who also plays up in league. Competition in Austin????lovesoccer wrote:Also it appears that the Lonestar Red '02 team is playing up in U13 down in Austin and winning almost all their games.

Re: Texas Cup 2013
I know I was told that was what happens in Club soccer but it does not really pan out that way in NT. I think some of this has to do with the fact that Lonestar is the big dog in Austin. More competition in NT (more clubs, more quality coaches, more numbers) means that kids tend to stick with coaches or clubs more. Could also be geography. Much harder to get from the mid cities or Allen or Dallas to a top team in Frisco than it may be to consolidate those practices in Austin. There may be 2 or 3 Sting teams or Texans or Solar teams that are all solid and the difference between one and two etc may be not as great. Even at the older age groups, the Clubs here do not consolidate talent like one would think. It is very common to see two or three Sting or Solar teams near the top of an age bracket in several age groups.
My opinion only and there are multiple ways to build teams and run clubs. Regardless, I do know that when you are going to play a top Lonestar team, you better strap it on and get ready because they will get after you.

Sunday games were played. Don't know why scores aren't posted for them.

Does anyone know the scores for the North Texas Teams?

Well, you could start by not playing down to u12 (since you play u13 in league play) in your own warmup cup.
