2007 DA

Are teams able to add to rosters in the DA? There has been quite a break, and lots of tryouts.

Any scuttle butt on any one team or another adding any significant advantage ? I think SD Galaxy had a coaching change.
Can add PT players for sure. FT players still capped at 26.
 
np. does anyone have the scores for the following:
  • Arsenal v LA Galaxy
  • LA Premier v Santa Barbara SC
  • Albion v Nomads
 
Almost 6 months has past since the 07 DA season started. The standings are looking pretty stable, especially at the top three teams for both leagues. It will be interesting to see if there will be any change in the standings in the remaining 4 months, and which team will be able to win against the still undefeated LAFC or SD Surf.
 
Here's national rankings for the u12. It's based on results thru Feb 20th, and does not include any modifications for the relative strength/difficulty of each group. For example, the Washington Timbers are probably not better than the LA Galaxy or FC Dallas but they have a better record vs their Oregon group peers and so are ranked higher. Also, the rankings evaluates each club by the total results for both their A and B squads.

Have to shout out to Zlatan being there Saturday, what class guy to be playful with so many of the youngers. Even a bigger fan NOW. So cool, thank you Zlatan ! I saw A LOT of happy boys.
 
It really was a bit confusing. finals to decide first and second: semi to decide third and forth: with wins and gd from the game 1-3 to give the rankings.
so...san diego 1, strikers 2, galaxy 3, pats 4. With all the parents I have spoken to wishing for a friendly: san diego v galaxy . (both undefeated through all 4 games)
hope that helps....my best guess, not official
 
Tad is correct. Surf won the final over Strikers. Both teams played well and Surf came back from being down 2-0 and 3-1 to win 4-3. Galaxy won big over Pats in what was the unofficial 3rd place game. Technically everything other than the final was a showcase game.

The confusing thing was that the tournament did a poor job of communicating what was going on.

My 2 cents:
- Surf, Galaxy, and Strikers looked like the top 3 teams.
- those 3 + Pats all won their 3 group stage games vs out of town teams (kudos to Galaxy for bringing in teams across the West and Midwest).
- Surf and Strikers won their groups because of Goal differential. The other 2 groups were all out of town teams with lower point totals.
- SLSG was a very good team followed by Sporting KC if I had to rank the out of town teams.
- Pats had a really good win 5-2 over SLSG and controlled the game.
- I think everyone would have preferred to have seen a Surf vs Galaxy Showcase vs the final ( primarily because the final and 3rd place were DA teams in the same league that play each other multiple times a year)
- Man City is turning into the best Socal tournament IMO. In addition to a stacked 05 supergroup (10 MLS DA including LAFC, Atlanta, FC Dallas, there are 5 Liga MX academies and Man City), it’s possible we could see an 07 field that has LAFC, Xolos, Surf, TFA, Galaxy, and a few more MLS + Liga Max squads. Those are all speculation, but should be a really good tournament.

Maverick Travel site for Man City Hotels show that the following DAs have registered their hotels...
SD Surf, Arsenal and DeAnza Force.
I assume the Norcal LFC, Heat and Del Sol are in the non-Super group.
