19-0 is silly. Obviously the wrong tournament for one or the other team. I say the team that drove (or flew) got the short end of the stick!
Did they learn something? Improve? Hopefully weren’t too over the top in their post game celebration.
Lets Drive to Utah on a Holiday Weekend to play teams from California

Every time the girls play an actual soccer game, they learn something. Today's lesson of 19-0? The girls from Utah know how good this BH team is and watch out. Blues is here to stay. For example, my HS team played the Long Beach Poly Jack Rabbits in our own Christmas tournament back in the 80s. I got called up as a Fr to sit and watch my brothers get worked over. I got to play last 3 minutes and the nice players from Long Beach dunked on me. I went up for the block and it was on. I did hit a layup and i picked a guy who wasn;t paying attention on the end bounds after my layup. Two in a row and a fun time for sure. My dreams of UCLA ended after that game too. They kicked our ass and taught us how to play hoops in Laguna. I know they scored 100 on us. I think we got 43. No shot clock and they did not go four corners on us. I would hate it if a team played keep away in in any sports, especially hoops. I would walk off. Come and score and we will try and do the same. Let your GK play Striker in the second half. Sit the starters. Play with less players and give the Utah team a chance to find the net too. 37-0, wow!!
Q. Maybe typo? 9-0 and 8-0 sounds better......

Jeez. Did you look at their other games? http://events.gotsport.com/events/s...707&FieldID=0&applicationID=5926768&action=Go
At some point early on you have to call off the dogs.
Pop Warner would be prod of the defense. I told you Socal is the Mecca of girls soccer.

Weird, why isn't it Blues across the cards, team name and logo?
Seems like another instance of something sketchy, like when Rob Rennie runs a camp with no social distancing, awards an MVP, but then his face is blurred out when it gets posted here.

Wait until my video is completed by my new pal I met on here. I found a few that just blue my mind....lol. She was too young. I'm waiting on defense videos so my dd can study the great one in AZ. Strikers only need to get by defense once to score. Defense is 100% the hardest spot. I tell my goat to always be willing to go where da coach puts you. I hear some college coaches might convert some players to what they need so they win. Looking forward to scrimmages in a few months. Practice road trip bonding and build team chemistry to help win. Timing is perfect!!!Keep your credit card handy. You will soon owe me a couple of drinks

The other two games were 18-0 and 16-1.
Just a poorly balanced bracket. The 3 strong teams had an ok tournament.
And all the teams gotto play and that's a positive
Judging by the scores, these SoCal teams entered a flight 3 tournament. Congratulations to that
I don’t know much about soccer in Utah. I know they are in the middle of high school soccer season right now. Are high school players allowed to play club during the season?
When do Utah club leagues have their first games of the season?
I'm against mercy rules. It's disrespectful to Fútbol, to players. And it's for pussies and for the weak. Teach your kids not to be pussies and take it holding their head high, like real men and women.
I don’t know about high school but for middle and elementary schoolers the season begins early August and state cup is late October. From the month or so we were there and from the wasatch team my son follows on YouTube, my general impression is that except for the academy the level of play certainly isn’t as deep as SoCal. My son in his gk camps (the player at which were supposedly flight 1 and flight 2 players) kept getting moved up in age groups and the girls on the gk end were particularly weak (the boys made it up with athleticism). Where they do have a leg up on us is the facilities...lots of beautiful fields (we were on some great pitches in Farmington, Sandee, Park City and Salt Lake) and they play quite a lot of futsal (due to snow in winter). Part of the issue is the aggregation of talent....because Utah is a big agrarian state, outside of Salt Lake City and suburbs, it’s difficult to assemble a non rec team because distances are large between small towns. My favorite part was the 80 miles per hour speed limit. We were in park city but folks thought we were crazy driving down the mountain into Farmington and Sandee for soccer 40 minutes....I explained it was less than a typical commute in SoCal. It has a much more rec feeling to it and imho the tempo of the game is much more running soccer (outside of the academy which is a real academy with high level training)...in that way it felt much more like England than it did Spain or Socal (which are the places I have at least limited soccer experience with) with talent at least on the boys end being aggregated at the academy.
Our lower 05 team played this past weekend. It was in the Open division. 06 to 03's. They won their first 3 games 6-1 over FC Mesquite Moapa, 7-2 over Surf ME, and 2-0 over OC Surf. They then lost to So Cal Blues 18-0. I heard this team was made up of some 03 and 04 ECNL players. We had hoped to join the team to get some game time for my keeper, but their two keepers were going.
Honestly I would have loved to had her face the So Cal BLues team. More shots, more practice, more experience. Here keeper coach was there and said might only have been 3-0 if she had been there and kept them in the game, but we will never know. But getting the chance to face 30-40 shots in a game is great no matter what the outcome is.
The team was still pretty happy with the whole weekend, even losing that last game in the semi finals. Big wins or big losses, it is still playing soccer.

That is exactly right! It also has something to do with your clubs insurance.
GK's dream. It's like taking batting practice against Randy Johnson. Why not test yourself against the best. Great attitude bro.

The players actually didn't have the "girls" in their rooms. They were staying on the 3rd floor. They had pre arranged for the women to get rooms in the same hotel. The women's rooms were on the 7th floor. Once the players left the 3rd floor " Bio Bubble" and went to another floor they had broken the rules. The rest of the details just sell newspapers. The players were required to stay on the 3rd floor in their bio bubble and left the bio secure floor. That is the similarity to leaving the county to play in another county with different rules.
