I'm sure Surf will be bringing there top team tomorrow to the semi finals. Looks like they rigged it to get through by making it unlimited goals to count as 1st tie breaker and they played a silver level team to rack up the goals. More Surf home cooking. Somethings will never change!So, Surf Cup has lost so much luster even Surf doesn't send their top team. ;-)
That's definitely my preference. When it's played like hockey with "line changes" it's a different game. The more subs allowed, the more success teams will have pressuring and playing long ball. IMHO this approach, while it can be very successful in games, hinders skill development.I love no rentry but maybe it's because I am hopeful the floppers and fake injury crowd will understand their play time will be affected with their antics. I am also hopeful the unfit will learn that they actually have to condition and can't sprint for ten minutes and then come off to catch their breath.
It's time to grow up .
That's good news for us and the age group as a whole, really. Not from the perspective of a chance to win the game. But, who comes to Surf Cup to play in the top bracket against someone's "B" team - even a very good "B" team? I'm sure Solar was disappointed they didn't get to see Surf's best.I'm sure Surf will be bringing there top team tomorrow to the semi finals.

BTW - I learned who Burlingame is on Friday and Saturday and they have a lot of work ahead of them. EGHAD.Who is burlingame?!

Right. Because everyone knew that Burlingame's first-ever DA team would be horrible. That's why you and everyone else posted about it before the games kicked off, right? Hindsight.
And if that's the case, why did they schedule Burlingame to play LAGSD and Pats in the 03 age group?

You are forgetting that the 04 age group is SPECIAL at Surf with Board members kids on the team, including the President. They cook it every year for their team and need to given they don't always play all of the best players. But that will all come out in the wash come college recruiting, it always does.Right.

5-2 Quakes
It should be a great finals match. Can someone confirm if the DA team (back from Nationals) was rostered or the ECNL+05's mentioned earlier? I was looking at the Surf rules and didn't see how swapping a whole team would be possible.
It was a mixed team.
