Oh boy... most of the States best teams come from the Houston area..... Kingwood... Klein.. THe Woodlands.... Northshore.... Clements.... theres just so many..........

Only Diadora touches my foot....... My fav. of all time would be the Diadora Noves.... Black Kangaroo and red diadora symbol..... flexible...... 7.5 ounces...... sweeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Umm.. my guess would be b/c Vidor is heavily favored(being nice)....... BTW..... Does Jasper or anywhere near Jasper have a club program???????

I dont dislike the 4-4-2... I just dont like how some teams become complaicent in their style of play with in a 4-4-2 system... I have seen far too many times teams stupidly dumping wasted balls over the top in hopes of a forward running onto it... I love possession football... and in the 4-4-2 the midfield must be smart and open up the outsides on good timed runs in order for the possession to really benefit from the 4-4-2 and in most High School teams in this area there are alot of players who do not understand the movement part of soccer and the beauty and domination that can come from possession oriented football....BUT!!!!!!!!!!..... I aggree with every thing that you said SETXSOCCER.... ... as for the 4-5-1.... I like the idea of having that triangle type one-two passing that that particular formation "should" generate... BUT... in the US's case... alot of times we played great timed passes with alot of possession and movement... there just wasnt anything in the attacking third... No offense to Brian McBride(who is undoubtedly one of the best American strikers of all time)... but if you are going to have a target player up top like that in the 4-5-1... he has to be mobile and agile and be able to float and drift all over the opposing back line..... look at France.... USA played basically the same formation as France for a good part of the World Cup... the difference was the way the outside mids brought the ball up and then dumped in back in the middle to create that lane and alot of oppertunities were created because Henry was always drawing defenders to him away from the point of attack.... I think Eddie Johnson would have been a better choice in that formation.... HOWEVER!!!!!.. any other formation I would have stayed with McBride.... he is a great finisher!!!!!!

haha.. thanks bro... also Chris Forestor plays for Central Christian College of Kansas.... he graduated from WB 06 too....

Yea I... Jeremy Smith(since everyone elses name was said haha).. play for Coker College in South Carolina... WB C/O 06 babaaaaaaayyyy.... haha...

In high school we always played a 4-4-2 with a diamond defense(sweeper, stopper)... in Club we played a 3-5-2 (and all 5 midfielders were flat and so was the back... we played alot of outside balls down the line)..... In college so far... this past season we played a 4-5-1.... flat back 4(offsides trap)... 2 defensive mids.. one attacking and two wingers with a cetral target player up top...... its very similar to the formation France played with in the past world cup..... except we play stacked in the the defensive third and counter.... alot of 1-2 passing and big switches... it really oppens the field up.....

...What are the formations your teams are going to be running this year???... Have your Coaches been working on situational formations for like when you go down a couple goals or up a couple???... Lets talk some soccer tactics up in this mother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is an absolute joke.... Christian Michaels of WB hands down is the best Sophmore in the area... and the state... THE STATE!!!!!!!.... Mark my words... he will be the next great RB to come out of this area...........

Most likely John Coleman...

Absolutely... Coach Bledsoe is worthy of all his praise... and yes... he was an All-Region Coach for Region III this past year.... P.S. Thanks Coach :wink:

Actually... one of the premier club programs in the state is located right here in Beaumont..... Spindeltop Select.... Spindeltop teams are always among the best in the State... A few age groups from the organization even play in the highest division of club soccer in the state... Select teams always represent the area well and are always stiff competetion for whatever fellow elite programs they face... Most clubs in the area do not have the luxery of an indoor facility.... but... sometimes on rainy days Spindeltop players train in a designated gym....

Al Raab as in the ex-WB head football coach Al Raab?????? no way....

I think he is a Senior... if not... then thats just scary... haha..

The best player in SETX is hands down Matt Kirby from Kelly.... he was recently called up to train with the U-18 National Team.... he has lightening speed and skill to accomadate that.....and he is a fantastic finisher..... he is significantly a cut above the rest and is really something special... I urge you guys to go watch a Kelly game some time soon and see what I'm talking about.....

wow... thats not a good sign when your putting someone who has never played soccer b4 in the most important spot on the field.... I think this is going to hurt LCM in the long run towards play-offs....JMO

Thats a great and ever so interesting topic... Boys: 1.Kelly 2. WB 3.Nederland 4.PNG 5.Lumberton 6.LCM 7.Vidor 8.Silsbee 9.Central(Dark Horse) 10.HJ

Looks like I'm eating crow now.. :oops: .. haha... I must not have read the info first right b4 I posted it... I am a little dissapointed though that we didnt pick him up... I think he would have been great for USA soccer... JMO...

Exactly... and I see were Bon_Mot is coming from on his take on the job he did with Germany... true he did not have to qualify.. but if you remember all the talk b4 the world cup about how bad Germany was going to do, then you undoubtedly have to give him some credit.. In my oppinion he is a fantastic tactical coach... and I think thats what USA needs.. not technique.. but more TACTICS!!!!!.... Germany played extremely well this World Cup... theres a reason why they played in the consolation game........................................................

Yes I was the Netminder for the Brook last year... and I aggree... with you on every aspect of Klinsmen.... BUT!!!... I do think that with his take and perspective on the game, it can only help USA international soccer grow.. P.S. How did you know I played keeper for WB last year???

Jergen Klensman is about to be named the new US mens national team coach... This is awsome news for us USA soccer fans... Pirate.. were are you man.. Did I not call this one like 6 months ago or what!!!!!!

Some one take over... Ive got a Psychology final to go take.... Lets go BROOK!!!!!... step it up....

17-6... WB finally gets on the board... but special teams still sucking... geeeeeeeeezzzzzz.....

17-0 Cy Falls.... in first Quarter... Chasian has to step up his game if WB want to have a chance.. 3-8 and one interception... :twisted:
