Clearly both MVLA and LAFC are talented but having seen all four of the U17 final four in FL, neither of the CA sides look as strong as either Solar or UFA. You may see those two in the final ... if the draw works well

MVLA has the best keeper. I’ll take them to win it all.Clearly both MVLA and LAFC are talented but having seen all four of the U17 final four in FL, neither of the CA sides look as strong as either Solar or UFA. You may see those two in the final ... if the draw works well

Ironically, NorCal ... Not even as much dedication as it took you to copy 'n paste all of these ^ results.
I coach quite a few of the kids that were participating in these playoffs so, naturally, was at the complex a bunch. Saw MVLA vs both Hawks and Concorde, and LAFC vs Crossfire and Ohio (very weak group).
Why would you think the keeper of MVLA will help them win, it all about scoring goals.
Look at Blues G17 results, they have the #1 keeper in the country and didn't make it to the semi, heard they could not finish on goals but their keeper made some great saves to prevent a landslide lost.
Sounds like a pretty biased report. I saw the game(s). The won 2-0, 4-1, and lost 4-2. They clearly scored goals. The final game was 1-1 at half. A poor call on a penalty kick gave Concorde the lead in the second half. The final goal (4) was also a weak foul call. The officiating was very lopsided.
Don't get me wrong, the Blues can score and I just heard on that game they they were not playing like on the first two games.
My point is to what Lighting Red stated, "MVLA has the best keeper. I’ll take them to win it all ".
A good keeper on MVLA team will not help getting them to the finals if goals are not finished.

If that's the case then yes It may make that difference; but it also all depends on how that keeper is performing. That's one reason why teams have 2 keepers. Of course with the exemption of the Blues u17; very risky IMO not having back up in case of jury.
That would be useful — I’m not sure there is one that’s terribly accurate. It seems like a few girls get ID’d early by a few feeder coaches (here on the east coast, the GK pipeline seems to be through The Keeper Institute in New Jersey) and then never drop off the TopDrawerSoccer lists, even if they haven’t lived up to their early hype.

My only complaint about the playoffs (and it doesn't affect me) is that everyone flies out to FL for a week to play, then you have to fly again someplace to play 2 more games. Why not finish it up in one place vs creating more expenses by requiring another round of flights, etc?
Would like to see a MVLA vs LAFC final.
MVLA vs Solar as kicker said should be pretty good.
