Looks like a very competitive tournament. DD is going to get her 1st action with the 06's since last winter, so we will see how she adjusts back down to the smaller field. That being said, I'm a bit out of the loop on what clubs are strongest in the 06 age group, but judging by the rankings page, it is mostly the usual suspects (blues, strikers, surf etc.) Would be interested to hear what people expect or predict for some of these brackets/teams.
We are looking forward to getting back together with the goats crew!!
San Diego Surf have to be the favorite going in. My DD played them in the finals on Sunday(Surf Challenge). They pass and pressure the ball well.Looks like a very competitive tournament.

My guess is it depends on who is playing for Goats.San Diego Surf have to be the favorite going in. My DD played them in the finals on Sunday(Surf Challenge). They pass and pressure the ball well.
Goats has never been an all star team, if the team has performed well it's a bonus. The team has always been put together with the idea of the group of parents and kids getting along and having a good time.My guess is it depends on who is playing for Goats.

She made horrendous calls in our game before yours and at least they found a replacement for our final. As usual was a fun tournament our parents and kids enjoyed it.
Goats looked good today....can't wait to see them play SoCal tomorrow...My guess is it depends on who is playing for Goats.
Goats had a ton of fun this weekend, not bad for a group of girls spontaneously coming together and playing with each other for the first time!Great game between SoCal and goats. In the end the SoCal girls were a bit more aggressive...4-2 final...time for SoCal and strikers to have a rematch from United cup. The last time SoCal lost a game!
I saw the Semi-Final game and your DD played great, in my opinion Surf was bringing a ton of pressure, in particular the 2nd half. Along with the defense, she was able to weather the storm and help the team get out of there with the draw and help win it in PKs. Best of luck to her and the team!This was a very competitive tournament my daughter had a blast. Our first game was vs La galaxy Oc then cz elite Saturday we ended up with a win and a tie. Sunday morning started with San Diego Surf which went into pk's we also tied with them in regular season so no surprise it was going to be a battle. And what can I say so cal academy is always a battle we were able to edge them out 2-1. Thanks to everyone involved great time! You can see pictures and videos on Instagram @soccerkeeper1310
