My College Team vs. FC Dallas

[Adi]

We just played FC Dallas, a professional MLS team, and lost 4-0. They actually brought out most of their first-team and we got to play in their stadium. Here's a video from Youtube. I wasn't in any of those highlights. Silly mistake by the keeper in the beginning.

Saw that it was Anthony Wallace and Dax McCarthy in the center with Toja coming on later.  Must have been an experience.   :banana:

McCarthy was running all over the place. Damn good player.

I played against Toja for about 10 minutes before our center back hurt his knee. I think he has a knee bruise. :biggrin:

there was quite a few 'pea-rollers' lol, where they scuffed it along the ground, the first goal was a silly mistake lol. s'cool you got to play them though!

Did you play well?

Wow you get to paly MLS teams as a college, thats awsome cos im hoping to go over and play college football at Berkley after i've finished my A-levels here.

It looks like it was a great experience playing against actualy professionals  :cheers: could you tell the difference in ability whilst you were playing, or was it not so obvious? or was there none?

Berkeley is a great school.  The city is, well, different.

ELITE, I played for about 30 minutes. I did quite well after making a bad first pass to start things off when I came on.

VG, there is definitely a difference in ability. Some players handled the game better than others but overall the difference was easy to see. I suppose if one of us was to play on their team against our college team, they would fit in OK. But having all of us play against a professional side showed some of our weaknesses.

It's just like all other different levels of soccer. When you play high school or club and move up to college, the game is at another level of speed and strength. It's the same when moving from college to the pros.
