2004 Boys, games of the week, standings, etc.

Here's predicts vs actuals for this weekend (3/9 & 3/10). Home team is listed first. Decent weekend for the u15 algo.

Predict: Nomads 3 vs. Arsenal 1. Actuals: Nomads 3 vs. Arsenal 1

Predict: FC Golden State 3 vs. Barca 1. Actuals: FC Golden State 2 vs. Barca 3. Per the game report, it looks FCG did not have a good answer for Barca's leading scorer who went for a brace. Barca was up 3-1 at the half and held on for the win. Typically, FCG is better than this at home.

Predict: LAFC 4 vs. LAUFA 1. Actuals: LAFC 4 vs. LAUFA 1

Predict: Strikers 2 vs. Albion 1. - Actuals: Strikers 2 vs. Albion 2. Per the game report, sounds like a good match. Strikers scored one early but Albion tied it and then had one more right before the half to go ahead 2-1. Strikers got one late in the 2nd half for the point.

Predict: Pats 4 vs. Real SoCal 2. Actuals: Pats 2 Real SoCal 4. Per the game report, RSC had a strong second half for the win after being down 1-2 at the end of the first half.

Barca 3 vs Pats 3
LAG 4 vs RSC 2
LAFC 6 vs LAGSD 1. maybe a good match to have some LAFC 05s play-up for development, particularly with TFA 05 missing three players.
SD Surf 2 vs Strikers 2. an opportunity for the Strikers to break into the TD's top 25 with a win?
Nomads 2 vs LAUFA 1
Arsenal 1 vs Albion 2

We got to practice on the same field with them for a while and yes, he's incredible. One of those guys that just has... "soccer charisma". You can see him from a cross the field.
Yes, I congratulated him for his amazing showing and he was very humble and well mannered in his response. The type of kid you will always root for.
 
here's predicts for this weekend (3/23 & 3/24). went full propeller beanie this weekend, and tightened the algo up with home/away and offensive/defensive trend inputs. be interesting to see if the tweaks prove out. home teams are listed first.

Nomads 2 vs. Barca 1

LAGSD 1 vs. SD Surf 4

Arsenal 1 vs. LAG 2 *match to watch* both teams have improved significantly over the season i.e. good on the coaches. lag is likely still better but Arsenal should be able to make them work for it. this is the first time each team has played one another in ussda group play.

Pats 1 vs. Albion 2

FCG 1 vs . LAFC 2. *match to watch* Will be interesting to see how this one goes. LAFC u15 is TopDrawer's #1 team in the country and has been pretty overwhelming this year.
Looking at the trends, LAFC has been fading a bit offensively (relatively speaking) since the beginning of the season while getting a bit better defensively.

Keys for FCG are:
1) Managing LAFC's shock and awe in the first ten minutes of the game and the first ten minutes of the 2nd half since LAFC scores more than 1/3 of their goals in these periods
2) Getting a goal in the first half since LAFC has only allowed 3 group play goals in the first half this season (but it also may just make them angry...).

Last match at the very beginning of the season was 4-0 LAFC.

LAUFA 3 vs. Real SoCal 2

LAGSD 1 vs Nomads 3

Well done FGGS. Looks like they prepared very well for the match in the weeks before. Coach Leon had a good plan. A loss was probably necessary to re-ignite the fire in the LAFC boys.
