2016-17 D1 Women's soccer thread!!!

Im with you.
Not a hater, just a fan of big games.
I honestly like SC's defense and the dynamic creativity of UCLA's offense.
Both great teams.

Who on their defense do you like? Their wide backs suck and both lost their individual matchup. Both of their center backs got nutmegged. You should have seen Prisock at the end when she was stuck 1v1 with Fleming. It was hilarious how easily Fleming beat her.
 
How did I miss that???? :eek: Too much time hearding cats I guess. My bad

No worries. People see what they want to see some times. 83 minutes is a lot. Her GPS is probably in the 9 mile range as she was all over the place. They started trying to man mark her with Mills (who is overrated).
 
I guess I should keep my day job...

You were right about it being a tight match. What most people forget is at Stanford and UCLA the players know that they are going to get every teams best shot. It takes a certain type of player to thrive in that type of a cauldron. But those that thrive in those circumstances come out as diamonds.

I like their whole defense, from defensive mid on back to keeper.
UCLA won the game. They scored a nice goal on a bad clearance.
I think UCLA has as much talent as anyone, and played a good game.
What do want me to say?
 
None of their forwards were effective bro that's why she didn't play as much. Ucla's center backs clowned them 1v1 and they have little clue as to how to combine in the final third. It's kick it long and try to cross it in. Just look at them on film. A talented and organized team just has to avoid getting knocked out by their overly physical style and have athletes in the back that can deal with their long ball.
Whatever, "bro".

Bernie you are way off on so many things it is silly sometime to debate with you. Did you even watch the game? Just like your assessment of the game against Pepperdine. $C's forwards were in the same class as the forwards for the Waves. Decent but nothing special. They recruit a slightly higher caliber player than they do and play direct. If you deny that I understand why you are voting for Trump.

$C's defensive players got exposed last night and if you don't realize that I understand. Blue collar work tends to numb the mind.

Debate?
Who's debating?
I was just throwing my 2 cents in.
Climb down off that soap box before you hurt yourself.

No soap box Bernie. I will save that for you Trumpophiles. Just actually laughing out loud about how off base you are. Reminds me of your flame war with NoGoal where you were debating what a petite woman was.

I think UCLA and USC are both really good teams.
Before last night I would have given SC a slight edge, but now I would call them dead even.
Both teams have the ability to go all the way.
 
Towards the end and To MAP's point the SC RB kept kicking the ball downfield to an elusive player named " Ms. Nobody There" and as a fan of soccer that was frustrating to watch. Those kicks were turnovers and wasted opportunities. Ucla just collected those kicks and attacked. Despite that the game could have just as easily gone either way. SC had plenty of looks and near misses. Neither team dominated the other.
 
To Bernie's point SC had 7 shots on goal compared to only 2 for UCLA and SC picked up 6 corner kicks compared to 4 for UCLA. I didn't see TOP but I saw the game and it was very even overall despite the score and the SOG and CK stats.
 
I think I liked it better when MAP went into hiding from embarrassment after UC LA lost to Colorado, but now he/she is making up for lost time.
 
Last time I read an excuse like that was back in the u-little days from good ol' Calikines.

The game tonight was a slugfest and hella fun to watch

Was USC having a great year?
Did they win big games at home?
Was this their year in the series for a home game?

If you can answer yes to all of the above questions, then you can understand my point.

The USC administration doesn't give a crap about women's soccer. They rent the stadium for 20K so that soccer will go away or be happy, instead of making plans for a real facility like a real soccer program with National Championship history would. It's not an excuse for the loss, UCLA was clearly the better team. But the home field advantage turned into a neutral field for both teams.
