Seems like we would have seen these MVLA girls invited to the USA camps in Carson if they are playing up three years? Good for them if true. MVLA is definitely stacked at all age groups.

MVLA 07s are dealing with alot of injuries, but it escapes me why they don't pull 08s or 09s up to play. I know quite a few parents and havent heard why they are only targeting the youngers. Either way, good for the girls for have a little bravery to step in. MVLA 2010s-2007s are all good team.

The one '10 girl everyone is talking about did go to Chula Vista for the regional ID with the 2009s, but she didn't make it into the final 36 camp they just called in last week. I saw the list a few weeks back and was pretty surpised she wasn't on it. Same for an 2009 that plays for San Juan's 2008s who I've seen run rough shot over several of the '08 usynt players. I've spent enough time with a whistle at this age group in the various showcases, and up in Seattle last summer, that something else has to be going on with the scouting decisions.

The '10s have alot really good talent all over the US. It's probably the first really talent rich age group I've seen in the US.
Now, if we could just get the US to start shying away from the "U" syndrom I think we'd see some of these really good players develop even more.
The '10s will be up next for the talent ids, alot of good kids which will make their decisions even more difficult, or questionable.
 
Surf took out their main center back in the first half and seconds later blues scored. Other than that Surf looked like the stronger team, but as Vanman said, just couldn't finish.

let me tell you something about this 10’s mvla striker. She’s a great player and definitely one of the top players in the age group. But if she played in so cal she would not stand out like she does up north and she wouldn’t be the best player in the age group in so cal either. Comparing her to the 2009’s strikers that were chosen as part of the 36 is no comparison. They are better than her. She may be impactful versus the weak competition up north but has yet to show up in a big game vs any of the top so cal teams either.

Do they have a roster of 21?!

According to the ECNL website Surf has 21.

But because Manchester Cup isnt directly associated with ECNL they might have had more or less rostered if guests or someone was sick/hurt/out.

If you're not a superstar playing bench becomes a reality on superteams. This is why it's good that theres multiple options for kids to play soccer in Socal.

Competitve soccer is a marathon not a sprint. Super amazing 8yr olds can burn out by 11 and sometimes they just keep getting better and better year after year. You never know.

They had 21 at the final. 10 were suited up on the bench. Their full squad was there. Blues had 15.

When I was a freshman in high school I was called up with others to ride the bench in our Christmas Holiday Basketball Tournament at Laguna. I sat and watched until we played Long Beach Poly. After the varsity was down 50, I was asked to come in and mop up their disaster. It was a big wake up call for Crush and made me see reality with my eyes and that my dream of playing for UCLA in hoops was over :)

People dont understand natural talent until they see it. When it happens parents (and players) quickly realize all the social nonsense in the world around getting onto XYZ super team makes no difference.

I saw it up close and personal Carlsbad. I think it can be good to sit and watch the best of the best and see reality smack you in the face. The Jackrabbits in the early 80s were #1 in the country. Crenshaw was #2 I think. Mater Dei was just starting to poach top players and soon they would become #1. The 85' Monarchs were insane and went undefeated. I still call it cheating but whatever. Long Beach did it with home grown talent and Mater Dei bought, I mean, brought in players from other public schools. Tom Lewis was one of the first to bail on his bros from Capo. Capo was still a force but if they had Lewis with the Call Bros and the other local talent then they would have been #1. Poor little Laguna had to ball against this talent and we got killed every year brother. It was unfair to say the least but I sure learned a lot. Baseball was even worse. I will say I worked my ass off the next few years, grew 7 inches and got better and by the time I was 21, I could hang and hold my own with the like's of Ced out of CSUF and Scott Brooks at UCI.

I need to confess Carlsbad. I just caught myself embellishing. Those were some fun times but I did NOT hold my own against Cedric and Scotty Brooks. I just got to play with them on the same team, one at UCI and one at CSUF. I passed them both the ball and played solid defense. They were ball hogs, but they liked me because I passed them the rock. That's the truth bro.

All the rosters are getting bigger. Not necessarily 21, but that may be the last time we see a top team with 15.

Carrying more than 18 is a straight money grab, particular when there are one or more teams below where reserves could/should be rostered to get play time.

And that’s where you should look at a clubs RL teams and see how they are doing. Blues 2010 swept the 2010 bracket. 2010 RL lost 1 game in league and is at the top of the heap. Surf RL is in the middle. Maybe Surf should let some of these girls develop and play RL? I guess we will see how this all plays out in the years to come.

Hard to do if the plan is to carry 20+ on the RL roster.
