Once again this thread has strayed far off topic. Beer? And not that I care, but where is the wine talk? I heard someone mention Shiraz. Wait...not here...I don't want to scroll though pages of "Australian vs USA" Shiraz talk to find women's D1 soccer talk.

Maybe not such a risky bet if you consider that the most common final score in college soccer games is 1-0.

True that!! I agree, there's a lot of those scorelines. You might even see a couple of 1-0 Colorado wins in there.

USC is a tough nut to crack this year, so is Cal. UCLA and Stanford on the other hand, have given up 19 goals combined in their 6 conference games each + the UCLA loss to Florida. 4 shutouts in a row is a lot.....just saying.

Ha pretty funny. I've watched Colorado play. They don't possess the ball and against any of the California teams that is going to cost them. Their only hope is to play long ball to Evans or Bruder or set pieces or flip throws to Korniak's head. I know it's easy to start feeling that this is the season for the Buffs. Unfortunately this is running with the big dogs now my friend and with where they sit in the standings the contenders are going to open up a can of WA on them.

Colorado sucked last year and went 1-3, with 4 goals in this 4 game set. Plus 3 of the 4 were in CA. Boulder's a tough place to play. You're going to lose this bet, but you sure have some stones making the "Colorado doesn't score in any of the games" prediction!

Colorado is mediocre this year and they haven't played a contending team yet and their RPI shows it. Only 3 of the games that they have played were against teams with a winning record and the only one of those that they won was against Hawaii! Stanford and UCLA combined played two teams with losing records (Navy and San Diego St) prior to their conference schedule. I won't go into Cal and 'SC since you think that they are great. Colorado is going to get taken to the woodshed the next two weeks. They just have to recover and beat a good Utah squad. Stanford and UCLA as good as they are this year will be better next year. Not sure Colorado will be so lucky next year.
 
Oh and I have some trivia for you GT. How many PAC 12 teams have yet to be shut out this year? Gonna take more than one goal to win or draw any of these games.
 
Predicted winner in RED.

Seems to me you want the attention.
You continue to punch the dumb icon on nearly every post...why would you do that unless you want attention?

I don't want the attention. If I push the dumb button the post is dumb IMHO. do you really want to drag this on or do you want to talk soccer? If you want to pick a fight with me PM me and we can continue there. On this particular thread I want to talk soccer. Is that okay with you Mr. Forum Police? Pick your winners and state your position and let's go from there.

This is poor deductive reasoning and is a proven fallacy.

A beats B, C beats A doesn't = C beats B. Example: UHC Rousey beats Tate, Holms beats Rousey, but Tate beats Holms.

Very powerful deduction Sherlock.
But here's what I was thinking RPI
RPI Example: A beats B, B beats C, and C has a high RPI and A doesn't have to beat C to reap some of that RPI.....it all adds up.

If you don't want the attention then don't interject you dumbass icon.
You want to talk soccer I'm with you...I posted an article a few pages back about college soccer with the disclaimer for what it's worth and you pipe in with the dumb icon.
Perhaps you care to expand on why the article was dumb?
Regarding 'PMs". I don't care to PM you, if you'd like to meet and greet I'm your Huckleberry.

So you are saying is that Cal and 'SC losing early to some fairly weak WCC teams means that they can't have improved? Look at most of the top 10 and almost all of them have a questionable loss. Your beloved Pepperdine got handed their lunch by 'SC yet beat BYU. The question that you need to ask yourself is how well is a team playing now?

Let me look at it again and remind myself.
 
Sorry LE too much effort to find the post buried among the off the rails posts. Please repost it so that I can give you my reasoning. Assuming that you care. I don't really but I am happy to oblige you in a civil conversation/debate.

I am not feeling Stanford at all. It's not that I am a fan of Colorado but Stanford has not been in top form of late. I am truly facinated by Colorado's ability to eek out wins despite getting completely dominated in nearly every statistical category in every match. I between Stanford's recent struggles and Colorado's wave of success, I am going WAY out on a limb and predicting a win. Call me crazy but I think Bernie gets his beer/wine on this match.

Hey if it was going to happen this is the weekend to do it. They are without their midfield maestro and their keeper. My eyes will be glued and my wine will be ready for Bernie to take it! Go Cards!!

Ppffttt, that is stupid. Your post above isn't deductive reasoning, more like idiot reasoning. Seriously get that PCS checked!

Now good back to your Off Topic thread where you belong, TROLL! Muhahahahaha!

MAP, that is to much critical thinking for the Pussycat. All he does in the off topic thread is post articles and the website it came from. Then he will add; ppffttt, muhahahaha or I'm your huckleberry. Same crap different day for the TROLL!

And he is very sensitive about dummying up his posts. He needs to climb down from the high chair he is sitting on, because he whines like a big baby!
 
I heard that four or five Cal 2017 commits have de-committed. Does anyone have any insight? I could guess some reasons.

I'm interested please spill the beans. The only three that I know of that decommitted switched commitments to Santa Clara and Michigan and the third is currently uncommitted. Please share about the other two. Not sure why anyone would switch commitment from Cal. Berkeley is a little gritty but it has character. Neil McGuire is a stand up guy from what I can tell and committed to the program's success. Academically it is amazing.
 
The only identity I know of (CM) is old news and is still uncommitted. She is a great player and nice person and whatever she chooses I wish her the best of luck. I don't know the identities of anyone else. There was mention of personality conflicts with the staff. With CL there, I would not be surprised.
