2010 Dallas Cup -- Fun at the Embassy Suites

A little relaxation, watching Carlos Mencia and wishing the best to our friends and family back home!

Dallas Cup Day 4 -- WCFC U14s 8, Team America (Va.) 0

Take nothing away from Team America from Virginia; they played hard and played until the end. Teddy lodged his second shutout, supported by strong play from Matt, Juanito, Thomas, and Willy. Kevin (3), Christian (2), Brian (1), Trevor (1), and Armand (1) scored to get the goals necessary for the goal differential. Texas beat Chicago 1-0, which puts Texas, WC, and Chicago all with the same record (2-1-0), but with West Coast having the best goal differential. Dallas Cup haven't posted, but that should put us through to the Quarters, probably against Pateadores -- might as well have played at the Polo grounds! But, it should be a good Derby. Thanks to Texas for getting the job down, and for the soccer gods for shining down on us this morning.

Dallas Cup Days 3-4 -- U14s are 1-1

The Boys unfortunately opened the tournament with a 1-0 loss to Chicago Magic. Some of us actually have to work so I didn't get a post up. Chicago scored on a set piece in the second half on a free kick from the 25 yard line. We put the pressure on the remainder of the game, including Christian hitting the post on a header, but we couldn't score.

Today, the Boys showed more teamwork than individualism and defeated the Texas Soccer Club 4-0. Brian drew a pk in the first 5 minutes of the game, which Christian finished and the game ended 1-0 at half time. With the wind in the second half, the Boys turned on the pressure and Christian drew another pk, which Kevin finished. Christian then scored shortly thereafter from the left side, and Brian finished the scoring off a cheeky combination from Steven and Christian.

The Boys still have a chance tomorrow to advance if Chicago loses and we win big. According to the Dallas Cup website, if that happens, the bracket winner will be determined as follows:

9. In the event a tie breaker is necessary to determine which teams will advance beyond the round robin, the following order of tie breakers will apply:

For All Age Groups:

(1) goal difference in overall competition; (2) highest gross goals scored in overall competition; (3) head to head competition; (4) least amount of penalty points (caution = 1 point, send off = 2 points); (5) Tournament Manager's decision.

2010 Dallas Cup Day 2 - Opening Ceremonies

The Boys had a great time at the Opening Ceremonies, and stayed to watch the US lose 1-0 to a partisan crowd. We got to connect with old West Coast alumni at Tigres and with old friends.

2010 Dallas Cup Day 2 - Our 15's Arrive

The 15's arrived just in time for pizza with our boys. The were tired but excited to be here.

2010 Dallas Cup Day 2

The Boys had a good night's sleep and an a light workout today, then had watched the comedy troupe of the papas 4 v. 4 game. Tonight, the Boys go to opening ceremonies and to the US v. Mexico sub-17 game at Pizza Hut Park!

And, according to Maria's facebook entries, we think the Ortiz' have finally arrived in Dallas en route from California! A brief rest, and they'll be ready for opening ceremonies! 24 hours driving straight from California, baby! Nobody has more juice than the Ortiz'!

2010 Dallas Cup -- Day 1 -- We're Back!!!

We finished a long travel day from LAX, landed safely in DFW, and now have arrived at the Embassy Suites in Dallas, where we stayed last year. The Boys are settling in to their designed room assignments, and the parents are settling in to, well, their own designated assignments. We found the WalMart and the Centennial bottle shop, and we're getting ready to start the evening. The Boys were well fed, and there will be a team meeting this evening. Tomorrow, the Boys plan a morning light practice, to attend the opening game, the opening ceremonies, and the US v. Mexico sub-17 match. The U15s arrive tomorrow.
