Dallas 06 Teams Playing Super Copa in Chicago

So can anyone shed light into what happened up in Chicago? We're the teams that much better or was it close games and it came down to 1 or 2 plays? im surprised sting black couldn't muster a goal in the semis as well as DTS.Both of those teams are really good.

Probably just karma for running up the scores to ridiculous margins and trying to embarass overmatched teams in pool play (teams who, admittedly, shouldn't have been there).
Just because you CAN beat someone by 20 goals, doesn't mean you SHOULD.

Outcoached by the other teams from what I saw. Girls can be great at u10, but when they haven't learned anything NEW in a year of select... seems like winning over development. But isn't that the story of North Texas soccer? Heck, only traditional thoroughbred in this game (girls soccer)was Gabe Adames... his teams did well... Maybe 06s don't have that one wizard that can take a team to the NEXT level.

Well said money and stupid parents have infected ntx soccer.

In a tourney where goal differential can put you out of pool and into bracket, you should win by as many goals as the rules allow. If those teams didn't belong there, that is on them, not on the winning team.

Most tourneys have a cap, usually 5 goals for goal diff. SuperCopa was 5 goal max.

Nope, cannot see where putting 20 goals on anyone, for any reason, is supporting good sportsmanship.

TIEBREAKERS
1. Head To Head
2. Goal Differential (game max. 5)
3. Goals Against
4. Goals For
5. Most Shutouts
6. Penalty Kicks From the Mark

Get the facts straight before you criticize!

Lol

Whatever the rules (and in this case the rules capped it at 5 unless the coaches were gunning for that 4th tie breaker), it's a really bad look to go try and hang a 20 on overmatched teams.
The teams that ended up doing better than our Dallas teams in the tournament clearly saw fit to try and keep the scores against overmatched teams reasonable. I assume they, too, could have embarrassed other teams but for whatever reason instead chose not to do it. Any good coach knows of ways to keep the scoreboard within reason while still trying hard and accomplishing other goals.
Maybe it's an over competitive cultural thing here in Dallas. If you look across ALL of the age brackets, the vast majority of teams who appeared to show poor sportsmanship and tried to run the score up were from NTX.

Agree 100%. NTX produces some of the most classless individuals both on the parent and the coaching side. Quite embarrassing when the obnoxious behavior that you see on a regular basis here in DFW is repeated in another state, in this case Illinois. And when talking of the NTX teams described in this thread, the coaches mentioned are particularly repugnant. IMO the top clubs around the country (Surf, Hawks, Slammers, Crossfire, Galaxy, etc.) would not have these low qualified individuals anywhere their clubs' top teams.

I second this. Crash please specify what level of play people's DDs have to be on to post and then which teams we can and can not criticize. Also, should we cap our critical opinions at 5 or can we run up the score?

Well. At least I get to see all those facebook vacation pics that were taken. Seems most had a great time in a new city, and not having to be at the soccer fields on Sunday.

What if you gave up 19 goals?
