Florida is one of those talented teams that plays to their competition. Underestimate them at your own peril. They actually are missing their striker Rose. The Bruins had plenty of chances as they outshot them 18/5 and 8/1 on goal. You have to understand that they are playing without two All Americans so other players are slowly figuring out how to fill in those roles.
Truth be told although I am upset that they didn’t win I truly believe that they are going to be much better come later in the season because of this stretch of games without such key players. The players that we have are more than enough to beat any team so come late season after CONCACAAF qualifying right before the last 4 or 5 PAC 12 games they should be at full strength ready to make a push for Cary.
I’m going to watch the last 90 of the $C Vs Florida State game. Serious question. Were you satisfied with a draw since the stats say that $C was massively outplayed or is this a case of the stats being deceptive? From what I saw in the first half $C was getting seriously outpossessed.
They played an ugly first half. Too direct. Second half was better as the team settled. Stats are very telling...as are the UCLA stats. (Zero shots for the Ruins in the first half vs Florida...One shot for the Ruins vs Long Beach in the first half, the difference here is of course they had Mace and Fleming)
Let's hope Sunday is better for both LA schools in the play and the result!
