Real So Cal should be in the top 10. They are the best in the West bracket.

I disagree. We played them and I can say I wasn’t impressed after a very one sided match against them. I’m also familiar with both teams having played against them last year in flight 2 and wasn’t impressed with them then either. I’d probably put Fury over RSC. But to round up the top 10 is put City SC up there. Id assume LA Breakers will take over the west when they get back in game form.

Wish I was there to see that. Congratulations to Ole for winning! I can only guess three things could of happen (or some combination of this):
Ole played Kickball
Ole parked the bus
Ole had a potluck/secret Santa before the game

Either way, Ole … have your day.. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

Spoiler alert: Blues does not play kickball anymore and has AR teaching possession. RR and TB were about the win, no matter what. Bakers, well we all know about their teaching of the game. My guess is Luis is obeying the rules and that is all one can ask. He can;t speak, mussel over his mouth so to speak. I will give you my reasons why the loss to Ole. I am also assuming Luis is still on the team so take this with a grain of salt. AR is all about what Deza is preaching down South. At the youngers, you have to throw out bad habits, even in big games. He took over the Gaffer and is now teaching the game right. Did Ole play Kickball?

from what I heard. Yes Ole played kick ball and parked the bus. Playing a counter attack game and not what they are used to doing with possession. They tried the same with Eagles and it did not work out.

Not sure why parking the bus and countering is looked at like it’s a bad thing. It’s a great strategy when you don’t have the same talent as your opponent. And it takes a lot of mental toughness to play defense for 50 minutes and pick the right times to go forward. There’s no way they win that game if it’s wide open. Sounds like Ole had a plan and worked it to perfection.
congrats to Eagles for taking home the hardware.

In the premier league this last week, Arsenal parked the bus against Chelsea and it worked. Lester did the same against Chelsea.

In youth soccer, If you are up by a goal and there’s less than 20 minutes left in a meaningful game, playing defense is very normal.

Just win baby!!! When it comes down to elimination games, you need to figure out how to WIN at, Soccer, Soccer, Soccer, Soccer!!!! Great job Eagles :)

 
Just seems some teams are Salty about losing, taking credit away from kids!! If you’re the best team, you should not be outplayed, lose or have excuses not winning a water down State Cup version... keep underestimating Olé, they have some good players there..

Boy are you right about that. It is actually pretty easy until you run into high pressure and then parents start asking why we are playing that way. Becoming a mature team takes time, and it doesn’t happen overnight. You are going to lose a few games along the way, but for the end result of winning the last game of the year, which is usually a national championship.

Even harder to commit to on the small 9v9 fields, but critical to progress as a team....

@crush

The real question not being asked is whats the back story here?

The loss has nothing to do with style of play it has everything to do with players who left and why.
