2019 Women's D1 Soccer Talk!!!!

I hate when my kid’s team plays against some of the WCC and Big West teams because they all foul so much. They think that the way to compete is to foul. My kid might have picked up a season ending injury due to that physical crap. The kid that injured her only got a warning not even a yellow card even though my kid went down and play was stopped.

It’s complete bullshit. If you have to play the player and not the ball then you should be playing fucking rugby not soccer.

FYI Pepperdine played very cleanly although a couple of other teams not so much so.
That’s fucked up.
My kid got blown up twice this last weekend by horrible team with a horrible coach, but fortunately she is ok.
Hope #5 is back out there soon.
 
Why? LMU sucks. As bad as they are, I would think the percentage is in your favor.

Quick look at the matchup comparison. Looking at the teams they have played I would throw out the pre-conference records for this matchup. And.... Why did I just waste 3 minutes of my life looking up their stats? :)

UOP: 9 G 126 S 28 SOG RPI 333
LMU: 10 G 101 S 38 SOG RPI 251

Virginia clearly the better team but they have trouble in final third. Techs defense is solid but can’t muster much offense. Took 70 minutes to score don’t really think Tech can score unless something weird happens. Right as I say that Tech hits post.
 
PAC 12 opening weekend

Today

Utah v Arizona State 2:00
Cal v UCLA 7:00
Colorado v Arizona 7:00
Oregon v Washington 7:00

Tomorrow

Stanford v USC 1:00
Oregon State v Washington State 7:00
 
Will be very interesting to see how that one plays out... big test for both sides... clearly both have talent up top, I’m curious to see how the battle in the midfield plays out to set up and/or service that talent up top... could be a difference maker in this one...
 
Virginia looking like a contender this year!

Their game against Duke will tell the tale. They look too weak defensively and a lot of their goals are against weaker defensive teams that try to play them straight up. Against Florida State and Boston College their defense will be exposed. They skip UNC this year (which hurts their RPI but helps their record). They are going to have to beat Florida State twice and UNC once in order to get a #1 seed and if they are on the road against Stanford, UCLA or U$C they will lose....

Watched Virginia last night. Good team but they don't look like the #1 team around. Duke can beat them but they have been an enigma with their inconsistency. Which Duke will show up? I agree FST will be the true test and don't see Virginia on the positive side of that match up.

I agree that they are a good team and play a nice style of soccer. Just not sure they can score against top teams. I thought both goals weren't from creativity or one of their players beating someone but more of a lucky bounce/poor defending.
