Surf was really impressive. They had some new players and they played really well. I saw them play San Jose and they controlled the game. LAFC a really well rounded team. Moved the ball really well controlled all the games.
 
To be honest I don't think they needed the 04 player and they had 2 06 on there as well.
It looked like all of the 05's were there Friday and Saturday so I assume the 06' just stayed too. Very odd to take these kids out of school when not needed. They are amazing players, but the chances of more than 2-3 of them playing beyond college are slim/none.

The experience means more than that one day of school missed. Please don’t debate me, because I can’t be swayed on this.

Not looking to debate you. It's just a matter of priorities that clearly you and I differ in. I don't see the value of the experience of watching kids from your club play versus catching up on the one day of school you've already missed. Of course I also won't pull my DD out of school for seven days so she can go play in a Euro tournament, Don't debate me on that, I can't be swayed. :)
 
here's predicts for this weekend. Caveat is that it looks the first 05 training/identification center for socal is next week so teams may sit some key players.

Los Angeles
Legends 0 v. LAFC 3 (algo says LAFC scores 4 but their right forward was out at Showcase)
TFA 1 v LAG 3 (TFA may be able to put a couple more up since a key right back for LAG was out in LAG's last game against the SD Surf.)
LAUFA 2 v RealSoCal 2
Pats 1 FC Golden State 1

San Diego
SDSC 0 v SD Surf 8
Arsenal 1 v LAGSD 1
Nomads 2 v OC Surf 2

Here are predicts vs actuals from this weekend. Plus some questions at the end.

Los Angeles
Predict: Legends 0 v. LAFC 3 (algo says LAFC scores 4 but their right forward was out at Showcase)

Actual: Legends 0 vs LAFC 1

Predict: TFA 1 v LAG 3 (TFA may be able to put a couple more up since a key right back for LAG was out in LAG's last game against the SD Surf.)
Actual: TFA 2 v LAG 0

Predict: LAUFA 2 v RealSoCal 2

Actuals: Rescheduled, presumably due to fires. Hopefully, Real SoCal families, and other families affected, are all safe.

Predict: Pats 1 v FC Golden State 1
Actuals: Pats 0 v FC Golden State 4

San Diego
Predict: SDSC 0 v SD Surf 8
Actuals: SDSC 1 v SD Surf 5

Predict: Arsenal 1 v LAGSD 1
Actual: TBD

Predict: Nomads 2 v OC Surf 2

Actual: Nomads 1 v OC Surf 1

Questions:
1) Is there any commentary on TFA vs LAG or Legends vs LAFC?

Looks like TFA v LAG got chippy at the end but other than that tough to read the match report and get a sense of how the match went.

Legends look like they match up well against some of the better/larger teams but tough to tell how the match went from just reading the match report. Seems like LAFC is playing well but having a tougher time getting the ball in the back of the net this year

2) From the match report, SDSC scored in 1H and SD Surf scored all their goals in 2H. Did SD Surf play their top guys in 1H, or just 2H?

Re: surf
I doubt you will see heavy blowouts from them as they seem to play a top squad for one half and a second/experimental squad for the other (Same could be said for the first day of the showcase). At SDSC, I believe their top squad came in for the second half.
 
Here's standings as of this weekend. Question to the SD folks. So Arsenal beats Strikers 2-0. Strikers beat LAGSD 7-1. LAGSD beats Arsenal 3-0. ??? Injuries, bad karma, or ...

Also, have only seen one post that Socal Training/Identification Center is this week. Can anyone else confirm training center for this week? My son made both TC's last Spring but we haven't heard anything this year. Maybe he fell from our coaches' good graces?

Arsenal, Had 2 Key players injured at the showcase and one was not ready to play last saturday the other our centerback was not 100 percent. Arsenal's squad was way off the first half but had opportunities and didnt capitalize LAGSD had 2 nice looks score both
Arsenal put the pressure on second half and created more but no luck, the defensive mid got injured also and few minutes later LGSD
scored the 3rd one
 
7-1 Strikers over LAGSD: potentially a mismatch well taken advantage of? Drubbing nonetheless I'm not sure Aresenal had one real opportunity at goal vs LAGSD. Matchups can be everything sometimes.
