Region IV Championships in Seattle

As @TCD said in the President's Day thread, "I haven't seen anything on the boards about this tourney. "

My first observation yesterday, correct me if I'm wrong, but the Surf vs. Real Colorado game was given an extra 7 minutes of game time. Our game, on the opposite field started at the exact same time. Surf scores at the 77 minute to tie the game , because they had been down for most of the game, the whistle blows and game is over. I was there watching...so I know I'm right about the extra time .The parents were livid. Surf because they expected every call and rightfully so Colorado because the game should have been over.

Arsenal vs. Hawaii, I don't think anyone played defense. Hawaii was up 3-1, I believe at the half.

How'd your team do today?
 
We won our first game 5-0, and lost today 2-1. It was a good game. Not disappointed.

Ah, so I see why you might have been cheering against Surf. Good luck tomorrow, it's win or go home for your team! Looks like that Real Colorado squad is for real!
 
How is questioning extended time that allowed for a Surf goal when they were down all game "cheering against" Surf?
It's a question or an observation and in light of what appears to be the difference maker looks like someone should challenge it if it was true. It must not be since nothing changed though.

I wasn't cheering against Surf at all. But this one parent in particular, Surf parent, was completely obnoxious. The ref almost threw him out of the game. I wasn't sure he was thrown out. It was wrong for the refs to do extend that game... period! The game should not have been extended by 7 minutes. There was no reason for it. I started this thread before our game was even played. It's a win or go home and should be fun. We had our opportunities, and didn't capitalize on a free kick right outside the 18.

Where you there ? If not have several seats! It was wrong. People traveled far and wide for this for the official to botch that. If the time was not extended , Surf loses. They scored in the 77 minute. The Coach from Colorado and parents were up in arms. What's wrong is wrong. Colorado earned that win.

I call em as I see em. It's clear Heat would have been in a better spot if Surf lost, especially since Surf beat them today. Clearly poster was disappointed at the result, and I'd be willing to bet a few nickels that poster was cheering against them from the sidelines during the game. He was chuffed enough to come to a CalSouth forum and start a thread to complain about it, after all.

Your funny. Our game was at 11am. The thread was started at 8am. Again, we have always been the under dog in every battle. I've been on this forum for years. We would have been in a better position had we capitalized on our opportunities and Surf played very well. I personally don't care about wins or losses. I've said that time and time again. My DD did her job today. Don't understand how an observation turned into a complaint. After all that tie leaves us in a better position overall. We are in control of our destiny because of that tie.
 
Apparently added time at the referees discretion is part of this weeks play... final goal scored (against) in the RSC v PacNW Maroon game Monday came 3 minutes into stoppage time.
No bearing on the result, but does us no favors in goal differential.

@shales1002 Sometimes it is hard to explain that you are playing 3 dimensional chess when everyone around you is playing checkers. Keep doing what you are doing. You already know what it takes to get to the next level.

I saw that too. They added 4 minutes to Arsenal game this morning... resulting in LVSA win.

Let's call a spade a spade. You were bothered enough to start a whole new thread expressly to complain about the game result in your daughter's bracket. The game "should have" been stopped. And Colorado "earned that win". You were complaining. Just be honest. That's what this forum is here for.

Did you stop to ask those who were there if the referee started the game 6 minutes late? Was there injury time? Were there PKs?

Funny it's the Heat parent who comes on here complaining and not Colorado parents. I guess some stereotypes prove to be true.
