Uuuge one right off the go ... uuuge -- right guys?

Yeah, it could be for arguments sake. That’s about it.
Better be a convincing W or there’ll be mayhem (verbally and in written form).

But why would this ^ be the case?  Sting ECNL and FCD DA have close to identical records and are both in 2nd place in their respective divisions.  Since it's been so vehemently argued that there isn't any difference between the two and that the level of play + competition are comparable, shouldn't this match be really close?  ... Perhaps a draw?

Yes it should/could be....
Not speaking from my perspective. I’m anticipating the response from the masses who feel like this will define what is and what isn’t.
You know this E.

Ummmmm, BigEgo, wasn't it you who earlier said that most of the best players went to play DA (Texans excluded in certain age groups - but I believe if you look at your old posts you actually provide us with your estimated % of top players that migrated to GDA), including most everyone from whatever numbered team in the country you told us FCD U-14 was (I believe #2?)?

That alone should be sufficient for DA teams to lock up the wins.

Add to that the superior training style provided by GDA, 4 days of practice per week, regular physical and mental evaluations, etc . . .

shouldn't even be close.

I have never argued that there is no difference between the 2 and challenge you to find otherwise.

Good dodge of the bolded question above since YOU have been arguing differently


So I ask for a response to the first question above, and pose a second question (which leads off the question above) and we will see if you can "artfully" dodge this one too -

If we take your previous comments as fact regarding the high % of top players who moved to GDA - why wouldn't you expect easy victories for those players?

SoSy --

You're better than this.  I really am disappointed that someone as smart as you couldn't recognize the glaring sarcasm there.

It is certainly undeniable that the general gist of the arguments of folks like yourself is that there isn't any significant difference between the two and the the GDA did not draw the majority of the talent.  

Again Sir(s), I have never, and never will (because I have absolutely zero need to), "dodge" or "backtrack" anything.  You ask me a legitimate question, you will receive a legitimate answer.

If you go off of US Youth Soccer rankings alone that would tell you the score will be a 1 goal differential.  

If that is the line I got my money on FCD getting a more than 1 goal differential in this game.  I suspect we will see a huge can opened on Sting ECNL

I don't know if there are certain names for brush strokes in painting but if not, we should name them after Ern. The most popular, the "sarcasm" stroke. He seems to really like to use that one.

He knows how to stroke it alright. That's why all the coaches like him.

Is there a chance we'll ever get anything resembling any sort of substance from you whatsoever?  Even MedMan is kicking your tail here.  Perhaps you can answer just one of the questions I've posed to you ... Just a suggestion, for what it's worth.

The self-appointed winner of all discussions has spoken. Better listen. Next he will ask questions about questions that have not been asked then claim himself the winner of the forum. Then he will eat some cake.

Love this ^ KC ...

Show me where I'm wrong    

And Happy Tuesday!

Like seriously....just as adults, how did it come to this...again? It’s partially my fault because I sort of instigated this turn of events by engaging him. Should have pm’d him. The topic was DGIC schedule and look what it has turned into.
Is it possible to get back to the lecture at hand?
The predictions topic is on another thread, this was just a PSA.

Not surprisingly, I think it took a turn right about here...

I couldn’t interpret the tone.

I still should have left well enough alone...give me a citation for inciting a riot.

Thanks AG --

Very competitive '05 and '04 divisions ...

For the '05s (most competitive of all in my opinion), I'd guess the Quakes, Feet ECNL, Texans ECNL, OEFC, FCD DA and Solar DA will be battling it out.

For the '04s, I've heard that Nacka out of Sweden and Yesung from Korea are tough, both FCD and Solar DAs are strong, and I'd expect that both Albion and Sting ECNL will be very tough based on what I saw from them last year.

I'd guess that Texans DA wins the '03 group without much trouble.

The '02 Mexican NT is no joke ... saw 'em play in CA in the Fall -- smallish, but very strong both technically + tactically.

I like the Heat FC out of Vegas to give Texans DA a run in the '01 group.

Speaking of scheduling...my kid will be missing some school. Hope it’s worth it. Mostly half days maybe 1 full.
But hey!! Soccer is life right?

Here I had just pointed out that the all so heavily anticipated matchup of two teams near the top of the table in ECNL and GDA were set to battle in the first match U14 at GIGC.

I woulda thought that the 'Trumpian' language and the question at the end would indicate sarcasm ... no?
