2017-2018 D1 Women's Soccer Talk!

Love or hate MAP...congratulations to your DD and her Bruin teammates advancing to the College Cup. Got to love 3 of the 4 participants play a nice brand of soccer. Many, many, many college coaches need to take note!

Thank you sir. Now it seems that me buying plane tickets and booking a hotel in September doesn't look so crazy. The best is yet to come with this group.
 
Better athletes with “skill, a first touch and play the ball on the ground”. If it was about being athletic, Baylor should have beaten Duke!

Don't even waste your time trying to explain it. It's much more impactful when people try to figure it out after the fact than them simply listening to good insight. The longer I have watched women's soccer the more that I realize that most of those that follow it don't really see. I know which team left in the field had the lead on a pro team with only 3 subs this spring. I also happen to know what those players think happened on the 26th of October.

It's all good because it will be quite obvious next weekend.
 
Damn it sucks when I'm right. @push_up is spinning in his garbage can. @surfrider is being the coward that he is not making himself known when I walked up and down the steps.

Hate me all you want. I know a winner when I see one. Enjoy whatever next week. I'm headed to Orlando.
 
So that's all it was? You clearly don't understand what they do and how and why they can do it.

Easy big fella, don't start lecturing me, I simply made an observation.
In it's simplest form, yes that's all it was.
Mace & Rodriquez basically ran past the Princeton D when ever they pleased...
Fleming and Sheehan controlled the mid field...you control the mid field you win.
The back line was under pressure at the opening of the second half and had great support from the mid field, other than that....no biggie.
Enjoy the win ...UCLA won in dominating fashion.
Good luck against Duke, gonna be a great match.

That’s right, UCLA played a scrimmage vs the Seattle Reign. Imagine if Mallory Pugh was still at UCLA....they could have won 3-4 college cups in a row.

Sheehan? Again you clearly didn't watch closely. No worries everyone has an opinion even if it wrong.

How are the Waves doing? Still hanging their hat on a draw against the Bruins? How about that AMAZING Pepperdine defense. As soon as they played a real offense they folded and Virginia's offense wasn't very good.

Stay in your lane. You weren't there and have no idea what is in the pipeline for the Bruins. Keep on speculating chief.
 
Why the hell would US Soccer hold a U20 camp on the day of the national championship game? It's like they literally want to undermine the organization that is training their player pool. The girls shouldn't be put in that position.

They played a "real offense" at Drake earlier in the season, remember?
Virginia had a great game and beat the Waves. It happens, and we congratulate the team that won.
UCLA is in the final four.
Enjoy it, I know I will.

Who the hell do you think you are? Stay in my own lane? Speculating?
My daughter graduated from Pepperdine, has her masters & works in Santa Monica and takes care of elite athletes, professional and amateur.
I happen to know families at Pepperdine and UCLA along with members of both coaching staffs.
This isn't about my daughter or your daughter you pompous ass. If you want to know about my daughter I suggest you ask Coach Greene.
I don't give a flying rats ass about the "pipeline", UCLA won because they had superior speed on their attack.
I've been watching women's soccer since the early eighties when my wife was an All American in the sport at San Diego State.
Good luck to UCLA as they travel to Florida....
