Predictions? Strengths, weaknesses?
Good luck to all of the Teams this weekend.
My predictions are:
1) Wc defeats Slammers
2) Legends defeats FC Golden State
3) Beach Demelo defeats Legends Riverside
4) CZ Elite defeats I.E. Surf (This one could go either way)
5) Beach Hodson defeats Blues Holley
6) SD Navy defeats LAGSB Elite
7) CDA Slammers defeats Surf Egsl (This one could go either way)
8) LAGSD Elite Higham defeats OVC.
 
I am not sure what constitutes "a lot", but I can tell you the WCFC Filipovic (sp?) team started four ECNL players when my dd's team played them on Saturday. I don't recall these players being substituted during the game, but that's totally cool with me.
Fyi, they didn't advance even with ecnl players.
 
Definitely not at National Cup level. At President Cup, oh yes. You can take a elite Gk from a year younger and she would be better than 75% of flight 2 GKs

I hear you. It still depends upon the player. I have seen some low impact ECNL players and some absolute monsters. Most are somewhere in between.

Fyi, they didn't advance even with ecnl players.
I observed the games FiLipovic v Larsen; Holly v Surf; cucuck v Navy; strikers v beach; the ECNL players that I saw play were impactful in different ways; for example the left back for FiLipovic team had girls actually mark her (in all the 1000 plus youth games I've assessed/ I've never seen a back get marked so closely ); Larsen switched players and shifted formations slanted to her side; FiLipovic team could have won by a few goals easily(bad soccer luck); I didn't see patches with strikers or holly team. I was impressed with the passion holly team showed and work rate of their forwards; cucuck team had patches and it showed strongly in the middle; beach has size, cohesiveness and our extremely organized (coach has done an excellent job); strikers have a nice passing game, compete well, and our well coached as well (especially considering the circumstances). I can provide insight on other teams as well but I'm already on a tangent. West Coast had the only patches that I saw; correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks

I have no stake in any club game. My player is in college and my son is a golfer. I will te you that my player's team was a final 4 at U13 and that was her last year of national cup and local competition outside of ECNL and national cup
