There's a recent interest from european teams in youth US players. Bryan Reynolds (FC Dallas) could go close to $10M to Juventus. There's an actual bidding war for this player that is probably being over valued.
This is raising questions on building a pipeline to cover costs through the now defunct Development Academy. This is just a rumor but the demand for young US players is definitely a fact. There are US owners in Italy and it helps with the recent acquisitions of US players: McKennie, Reyna, Canon, Aaronson, Adams, and several others.

Add that to the $3M that FC Dallas received for Reggie Cannon now at Boavista. He's played 900 minutes in 10 games since October. Dallas has that Euro money pipeline going on this year.
Maybe Blues vs Surf, but Solar vs FC Dallas is at least in the conversation for best girls youth soccer rivalry.

From the 06-04 age groups it definitely looks like match ups were created for supposed favorites to meet each other later. Definitely not a great deal of parody in pool play.2021 Surf Cup - Phoenix (Olders) January 1 - 4, 2021
Same thing in youngers. Lot of 6-0 or 9-0 games in group there.
It seems clear that they would be better off just to create one small top bracket with the best teams they have. If the goal is to create video, why bother playing a mismatch?
Agree with the 05s other than Blues and Heat are matched up in same group.

The Rebels 05 Baro team will be in trouble. Not sure why they aren't in the lower division plus they are looking for guest players for the tourney.

Utah Royals have been playing all season so don't discount that team...... I'm not saying they will win the whole thing but AZ teams have been giving Socal teams a LOT of trouble in this Covid shortened season

He/She/It is looking for a sperm donor to make a child for forum eligibility. Is there a U1 bracket at Surf?
The Royals 05 team is much improved this year - added a few players and a new coach. They can score in bunches. Earlier in this season, they tied a very good Del Sol team that was in 3rd place in the DA SW conference last season. The Del Sol team beat all of the CA heavy hitters except for Surf (never played due to a shortened season).
Just based on names, look like the Royals have more competitive matches than Surf.
From what I'm hearing from the youngers is that some are playing with "make shift" teams and not their regular lineups. One prominent team is only playing with 6 of their regular players. Don't know if that's the situation with any of the Surf teams. At least in some cases it sounds like parents had no problem opting out for Holiday or Covid reasons and had no FOMO.
I know our team has 3 players that aren't even practicing due to Covid worries and have 2 that are nursing injuries so I can definitely see a number of subs or smaller rosters for a lot of teams.

Based on the presented schedule, I definitely see some mismatches on the girls side of things. I am curious what mismatches you guys are seeing right off the bat; Please state them. I'm curious if anyone agrees with me. Specifically in the 05, 04 and 01 brackets Best of The Best Brackets.

The olders schedule has been taken down again.
Maybe they are getting their matchup guidance from this forum and adjusting.
