Virginia looking like a contender this year!

I agree that they are a good team and play a nice style of soccer. Just not sure they can score against top teams. I thought both goals weren't from creativity or one of their players beating someone but more of a lucky bounce/poor defending.

I have to respectfully disagree...McCool's goal was the result of a solid tackle, Ordonez with a nice spin touch/dummy to McCool's strong display of individual skill. Then Ordonez took advantage of a horrible back pass with a great touch to the far post/side netting. Virginia is definitely in the conversation, but they usually are, year in and year out. However, I still think the Heels are going to be the favorite coming out of the ACC this year, once they get everyone healthy and on board. They have been short handed much of the season to this point...
 
@MAP, I'm watching ASU for the first time and they have some interesting/skilled players as you mentioned previously. However, as you also said, their D is suspect which is coming to bite them in the ass. Utah not bad either, but also have defensive issues. I guess that's why it's tied and going into OT

Congrats to Pepperdine on the win today, and to the winning goal scorer, @speedkills's daughter.
Tough to go overseas and come back and get a W.
That kid has overcome so much, and is everything we all want our kids to be.
Made my day when I logged on and saw that she scored the winning goal today.

Ooops, yesterday.
Been busy.
 
Cal 2- UCLA 1
UCLA is definitely the better team of players but they were outcoached and Cal players play smart. Made the game boring in the second half thou with Cal sitting back.

UCLA could not finish. Cromwell’s only mistake was allowing Kim to get free and run at times 1 v 1. That killed them in the end.

17 Corners for UCLA and couldn’t finish on any of their corners. Finishing was definitely the issue. Luca Deza from Cal was fire!

I mentioned a while back - more than once - that Cal would be different this year because they have an elite gk (which means everyone plays better - more confident, can take more chances). Add a year of maturity to the Jrs and they can compete with anyone. The only question I had after non-league was whether the relatively weak schedule would have them ready. Well, I think that was answered. UCLA is going to blow out most teams if they get 17 corners but Cal’s D shut down the shooting lanes and they knew they could take chances because AA had their backs.
 
MAP wont show his bitch azz face to this forum until the kneelers win again and he can tell us how good they are. BTW, his DD got lit up.
 
Love all the PAC 12 matchups. How about Michigan at top of Big 10 having never conceded more than one goal. Starting to get some RPI respect! Go Blue!!

Watching an absolute clinic by Macario, now the best midfielder in college soccer.

She’d be the best at whatever position they put her. She’s just so so good.

UCLA needs a 9. Their midfielders and attackers are all the same player. Top class for sure but no game breaking goal scorer. Lucy bronze a huge addition of back line. I really like her game.

Good start (soccer excitement wise) for what should be a phenom pac 12 slate.
