I was thinking the Fox News of women's soccer. Eventually they have to admit the truth.

All kidding aside, I watched the UCLA vs SDSU last night on the PAC 12 network. UCLA is Scarry! You can't really appreciate their play until you watch them on instant replay and in slow motion...they have so many weapons! I will be shocked if they don't win the PAC 12 and at least make it to the NCAA Final Four.
I say tomato, but who cares.
Im just pissed we got nicked in OT yesterday, and I say "we" because I have skin in the game.
A&M just looked a step quicker in the second half.
Im sure Pep will get that part fixed.

How many do you want? Remember according to TDS they have as many top 100 national players as UCLA does and their central defenders are better than the Bruins. I mean one is from France so she has to be the best. UCLA only has Fleming and a bunch of nobodies.

Shhhh. They like being "under the radar."
The team is so deep, they can just plug in a new number anytime someone gets injured, and not lose a step.
They definitely have the talent.
Under the Radar as in what?
What was their preseason ranking 5 ?
Any team ranked in the top ten is not UTR.
I need three.

I agree. A&M is going to win the SEC so they aren't scrubs. From the stats it looked even and losing on a golden goal although painful is nothing to be ashamed of or worried about. I feel sorry for Virginia Tech.
How did VT fare yeterday?
I watched the first 15 minutes and they looked pretty good., had the ball in USDs end for most of it.

Everyone thinks that without Pugh they are too young. I didn't say that I agreed. I know that they aren't at 100% yet. Personally I think that they are favored against any team other than North Carolina. We will see.

They won 1-0.

I can offer as many as you would give me if I took Virginia Tech against Pep.
Still very odd that she wasn't mentioned once throughout the telecast. Who's spot is she going to take when she returns?
Lots of praise for Freshmen Sheehan and Villacorta. Almost didn't recognize Dunphy. Way too much direct play in the first half for a possession team (acknowledged by Cromwell at halftime interview). Team looks physically imposing, gotta have the strongest legs of any team in the country.

A certain player that I know said something similar about their midfield. Most importantly is that they are well coached and she is willing to go to her bench. They are better than many think they are believe it or not.

From what I understand it was an adjustment that they were initially supposed to do if they came out and pressed high. It actually worked several times but the forwards couldn't finish.
Regarding Sanchez, the team is deep. There are probably only 3 players that have to be on the field against the best teams. There is no need to rush anyone back. They are thinking about winning it all.
Sheehan played well. Dunphy played well. Cromwell is a master of making adjustments. Also once a team gets behind them and starts chasing they become tough to handle due to their depth. It's a long season and they have a ton to improve upon but it they should do okay.
Lisa, I agree with you "nobodies" reference.
