National Cup - 04s - Tech Specs

This just in.....Legends ties Albion and punches their ticket into the 2nd round on fewer Goals Allowed. West side upsets Beach SB (whaaaaaa? Talk about a transformation and peaking at the right time!). The afternoon game between eagles and Westside will determine that group winner.

Why would they reseed? New to all this sorry

Considering they didn't go off previous year results, Cal South had the "favorites" winning almost all the groups this weekend, except Westside. West Coast was slightly ranked behind Legends Riverside but Rangers was slotted in right they ended up coming through as the Wildcard. Not a bad job by Cal South putting together the 1st Round Groups.

If so wow- A and D. Wow
Have to say if any team can take Surf on its CDA.

LAGSD
West Coast
Legends

B

That's my DD's team! We parents are all very proud of their effort and their growth. We really had our issues early in the season, but after making a roster change and a with lot of hard work, we really have improved. We're doing this without a full-time goalie - 4-5 of the girls are rotating through that position and are giving it their all. I know I didn't expect to be heading back to Norco next weekend, but I'm happy to do it!
 
Well done to all the girls. Whatever the outcome, they all played hard and hopefully had some fun too. Congrats to all the teams advancing, it was no easy task.

How big of a roster change?

We actually did have a goalie, completely new to the position, and to club soccer. By the 5th game or so, after 3 straight games giving up 7 goals, the coach could see that it wasn't working out, and I think was worried about the rest of the girls becoming demoralized. So he benched the keeper, and went to a rotation of field players. The team picked up after that.

Sigh ... being a keeper is hard, and finding a good experienced one is hard too.

That's a team with a huge turnaround from where they were last May to where they are now. I thought maybe you got some new field players too. Either way congrats to your great showing at National Cup so far.
 
Thanks for the fantastic analysis!

Tech Specs. (Part 6 of 6)

Well there you have it, somehow @LASTMAN14 and @Kicker4Life pushed me to the finish line for the 05 and 04 Tech. Specs. Must be something in the water in the South Bay. I expect a Jack & Coke out at National Cup waiting me as I now sit back and watch my DD's do their thing.

I will be drastically cutting back on doing this much work or so I keep telling myself. Next year is going to be an absolute nightmare with all the leagues and tracking the teams.

I'll do another analysis for all the rounds and finish it out like I always do. Even though my 04 has a BYE, we'll be out there at Silverlakes with my 05 tomorrow and plan on catching an afternoon game or two. Best of luck to all, come by and introduce yourselves if we haven't yet met and if we have have come by and say hello to an 'ol friend. Most likely rocking the Goats FC shirt tomorrow for good luck, and my DD will be rocking the keeper bun mohawk as an ode to a good friend who will be missed out in the So Cal Soccer Scene. Love ya KeeperMegs and @Keeper pops !

Best of luck everyone, have fun, stay safe, and cheer those kids on and enjoy the journey![/QUOTE
