National Cup - 03/14U

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

Very good post Chiefs. Thank you.

I can confirm that Strikers OC did not use any ECNL players during the NC tourney. In fact, I don't think we used one ECNL player the entire season.
 
[/QUOTE]Classy coach and Team! Good luck to the Team next season. Very exciting to watch!![/QUOTE]

Thank you for the kind words. The girls did try hard all season and the HC is top notch.

The majority of this team will stay together next season, but under a different organization.

Glad to hear that the majority of the Team will stay together! Good luck to the Team and your DD next season. Good luck under a different organization, I think it will benefit the girls hugely! Development / Development!!!
 
How is that CRL seeding chart holding up?
NO surprises so far! Out of the 12 Teams that participated in CRL, the TOP 6 advanced and 9 out of 12 Teams advanced to the Round of 16. Keep in mind that (5) Teams truly dominated CRL. From the 1st place team that had 8 wins, 2 ties, and 1 loss to the last place team that had 9 losses and 2 ties-no comparison of who was going to go far in National Cup! Only 3 teams didn't advance that played CRL: Albion (12th place), DMCV Sharks (7th place), and Beach Kaufman (9th place).
CRL results: SD Navy, Legends Academy, Beach Demelo, Beach Hodson, LAGSD Elite-Higham, LAGSD Elite, DMCV Sharks, IE Surf, Beach Kaufman, Surf EGSL, FC Golden State, Albion
Rounds of 16/CRL Teams: Legends Academy, FC Golden State, Beach Demelo, IE Surf, Beach Hodson, LAGSB Elite, SD Navy, Surf ESGL, LAGSD Elite Higham
Who will be the spoiler? Wc Egsl, Slammers Reserve, Legends East, CZ Elite, Blues Holley, CDA Slammers, OVC?? (I don't think many of these teams will still be playing past Saturday. Maybe 2??
My prediction is still on a CRL Team winning National Cup! But a lot of great teams out there.
Good luck everyone! Sure will be an exciting weekend of soccer!!
