beachesl Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 The present ASA downoads do not have the teams involved named. Okay, pretty weird format for the men's comp. Weirder than the Gold Cup. And why not have the whole tournament at the same complex? The Edmonton Soccer Complex, for instance has 8 good fields. A chance to watch some extra footy if you are in town for the WCQ. Probably be a chance to play there too on the extra fields. Good draft beer at the Edm Soccer Complex, don't know about the other two places. ------------------------------------------------------------------- CHALLENGE CUP MEN 2004 TELUS OUTDOOR PROVINCIALS HOST: EDMONTON FORMAT: Six Team Round Robin (Two groups of three with crossovers) SEEDING: 1.

Soccer Hack Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 As far as I can tell, the seeding is as follows: South I - Callies Edmonton I - Scottish South II - Villains Edmonton II - Green & Gold South III - Dinos Edmonton III - Itals I am not sure if Edmonton III had to play-off against Edmonton IV (which was the case for South III - Dinos who beat Red Deer to go through to provincials). If there was a play-off in the North, then it may not be Itals as Edmonton III. Based on how the AMSL finished, Group 1 is Callies (finished first in league play), Green & Gold (5th in league play) and Edmonton III (6th or 7th in league play). Group 2 is Scottish (2nd in league play) Villains (3rd in league) and Dinos (4th). Based on this, it seems as though Callies have an easier road to a repeat appearance at the Challenge Cup, although anything can happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishman Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Callies are very doubtful to win again...trust me. Although Scottish always seem to botch things up. Go Green and Gold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Green and Gold! It's totally wide open this year. I think Callies and Scottish are perhaps the favourites but don't count out Villains or even Dinos from Calgary. Should be interesting.

Go Green and Gold! Trust you that Callies won't win again? I have to say that the safe money is on Callies to repeat. While I have to hand it to Green and Gold (I never would have guessed that they would have done as well as they did, so good on 'em) there's no chance they'll take the provincial crown. Trust me.

fishman Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 I said they are doubtful...not impossible. And while I don't think Green and Gold will win (the core is consumed with preparing for the CIS season), they will be organized and fit. I am going with Scottish...

Guest Georgio Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 I'll put my friendly wager on the Villains. They are about due, they played well when it counted last year in the playoffs, they have the least amount of goals scored on them this year so there defense is strong which is important in playoffs, and they have the offensive talent as well.

Soccer Hack Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 from the Calgary Herald Callies, Dinos on collision course Saints advance to women's final It's another all-Calgary final, with foes who are all too familiar. The Calgary Callies and Calgary Dinos square off this afternoon at Edmonton's Victoria Soccer Club with the Alberta Soccer Association men's provincial outdoor title on the line. The Callies have won four of the past five Alberta championships, most recently claiming that Challenge Cup crown with a 1-0 win over the Calgary Villains last year. And even though the Dinos haven't been involved in a provincial final since 1998, these opponents know each other intimately by virtue of the annual summertime Alberta Major Soccer League wars. "It's two different styles. We're more of a short passing team, and they go for the long pass," said Callies head coach Dave Randall. "We're built on possession, and they have the strikers up front with the pace to run onto 50-50 long balls," added Randall, whose Callies are defending national men's club champions. "From our defensive point, that's what we have to look after. And they'll have to try and keep us from controlling the ball." The Callies and Dinos advanced to today's Challenge Cup showcase by winning their respective pools with 2-0 records. The Callies shaded Edmonton Green and Gold 2-1 on Sunday, getting goals from Mike Howlett and Chris Kooy. The Dinos -- who compiled a rather ordinary 7-5-4 AMSL record this year, compared to the Callies' 10-4-2 log -- dispatched the crosstown Villains 2-0. Chris Mauer and Andrew Zakaluzky scored for the Dinos. Meanwhile, today's Alberta women's final features the same two clubs as last year -- with the Calgary side hoping for a different result this time out. In 2003, the Saints lost the Jubilee Shield final 3-1 to Edmonton Victoria, which went on to claim a national bronze medal. "A lot of people have put in a lot of time and effort to build this team up," said Saints coach Glen Ellis. "Really, that's all the motivation we need." Midfielder Jill Schade, in the 25th minute, scored the only goal of the game Sunday as the Saints blanked the Edmonton Angels 1-0 to earn a berth in today's final. Edmonton Victoria advanced with a 2-1 win over the Lethbridge Chargers. "If we should get behind this time," said Schade, 24, "we know we'll be fighting back."
