It's a tournament, not league play. Some teams bring guest players. Some teams missing top players. The real test comes in state cup.

Believe me. No love lost for FC florida but that was not their main team. Most kids I recognized but many were new. Maybe they brought kids up or something.

Sunrise is still favorite for state. FC florida probably too.

other than fire having #31 missing and maybe another player and FC Florida had one of their wingers out all the rest of the teams looked like their normal roster. maybe a couple teams had guests?

FC had one winger out? Out of the line-up were two starting center fullbacks, a starting right wing, a national pool striker and a recently suspended starting striker. No big deal for a local tournament but those are pretty big gaps.

With all the money this team throws around you would think they would have a better bench. Looks like they are already working on next years bench, WSC players.

Speaking of benches, Fire had zero subs vs Wellington. They were obviously missing more than #31. There are 16 players on their FSPL roster. Missing 5 players?

Yes, I heard Governor Scott decided to not listen to Obummer and he directed ICE to the area.

Is state cup seeding done yet?

**Unregistered** · 03-09-2015, 08:56 AM

Based on results from Weston Cup and FYSA Premier Showcase, the top ranked teams like Florida Fire, Sunrise, and FC Florida are struggling, and the 2nd tier teams like N. Ft Myers and S. Orlando are starting to peak.

Who the heck is C5BYS Bonita Springs? They tied FC Florida?

S. Orlando is 2nd tier? results don't say they are 2nd tier

There were some kids missing for FC Florida at the showcase. Bonita looked they gave them a good game.

U15 Parity

There is a lot of parity this year.

Five U14 kids from FC Florida did really well to fill-in as starters for an FCF team that had only two on the bench. Top scorer in Italy with ODP. Starting goalie also missing. Four broken legs affecting the team for sure. Week to week its a different combination of players. If the team comes together in time, it's still one of the favorites for SC. No team in Florida U15 seems to show up with the same roster week to week. There are a lot of good teams. The team that shows up healthy wins.

Also, Bonita Springs played big. They were out shot and out possessed, but they have pretty good control and they converted well. They went up 3-1. In the end, FC woke up and tied the game. Bonita Springs was probably pretty happy the game didn't go another 5 minutes.

Agreed also that it's crazy to call South Orlando or NFM 2nd tier teams. They are better than 80% of the FSPL teams and they can beat any FSPL team on a given day.
