While it is true that Empire has not won against Outlaws and Warriors, IT Is REALITY that they are on the doorstep and will be breaking down the door. You happen to not mention that they lost to Outlaws at THE Outlaws' OWN tournament where the Refs where HORRIBLE, kids were chasing balls that went out of the field of play because there were no balls on end lines. Also, the fact that teams never changed sides and their goalie was playing looking into the sun........and they lost by a goal in both games. Hmmmmmmm. Not much separating these squads.....Just a matter of time. (Again, only a 2nd year team)
It was also a very early tournament. Teams were just starting to practice. Outlaws went on to play in A brackets all summer and did very well. Empire went down to play in B brackets all summer. Two teams going in opposite directions. The tournament you were alluding to was basically preseason. Empire didn't have the courage to play in an A bracket later in the summer and play Outlaws again, they were there.
