It's amazing to me that you can sit there and project DD's future with just one game
We know and agree on this point - Elite Soccer players will have to have a mastery of the ball at their feet with finesse and precision that is worthy of Tiki-Taka, No doubt about that.
Just because this one game was not played that way or to the style, liking and comfort level of Surf ... does not mean our DD's do not have or are working on those very skill sets.
The modern Elite American Soccer player will have the best of both worlds - Strong, Athletic, fast with the finesse worthy of tiki taka play.
When the competition is sleeping many of our DD's are working, grinding to become the best they can be! - which is why many of your coaches want our DD's ... they flat out compete and out work many DD's on the pitch - as the saying goes you can't teach Size, Speed and heart!
It would be a mistake to sleep on or underestimate our DD's ....because one game we will come out and play the vertical, physical game as witnessed by Surf "Hallueah can I get an Amen" and next game we will come out and play the Tiki Taka way ...building diagonal runs from the back etc. etc
Hold up ....This conversation just inspired me

My DD was eliminated in bracket play but after reading all the post I have a question, if Surf got outplayed, if Arsenal dominated, why was the score 0-0 until this unfortunate play? By all the negative posts regarding Surf, I thought Arsenal would have won +++ 3-0. By the score, seems like a pretty even match until the refs blew a call. Just an outsiders interpretation.
In all seriousness folks - from the bottom of my heart I appreciate and respect your teams and opinions on this board
When we play your teams whether we win or lose - you make us better / Jealous and hungry ... the good thing about "us" ... all of "us" it's Iron sharpening Iron - translation Your DD's make our DD's better and hopefully vice Versa
So Cal - is so lucky to have such a density of talented DD's out there
Just having fun on this board .... no - disrespect all in fun
Which much Love KongZilla

Admittedly Surf was a fierce competitor - they weee the clear favorites and by any measure they could have put one on us... so Arsenal is not saying we crushed them ... we just feel the better team won that day

EA, You got it! Focus on your DD getting better. In a couple of years, her and her teammates will be competing for the same college offers.
Valid question.
It should have been higher. There was a gorgeous play in the first 8. Multiple opportunities abounded. Credit to 3 on Surf she stopped momentum and plays with grit.
The game is an excellent teaching tool. I can't speak to exact number of surf shots but I can tell you the Arsenal goalie was only pressured once and that was in the first two minutes.
You can get outplayed and out hustled with a low scoring game.
To be frank one of the tenants of DA is eliminating those high scoring games - translation boot to my fast forward.
Watch the game- see who spends the first seven minutes with the ball in the air.
Yes this is Surf Derangement Syndrome. SDS for short.
Whenever they have lost this year it was lucky or kickball or an accident. Every time. It had nothing to do with the skill, speed, soccer vision of the opponent.
The rest of us we just lose. It's what we do.

@Kongzilla has RB even let them Dds loose yet or is he just letting the development happen?
I'm a USC hater, but I thought USC dominated the NWSL draft this year (3 players in the top 10 and 5 players in the top 40). Kayla Mills and Morgan Andrews may still have a shot for the full WNT. Both of them were part of a pretty successful U23 effort in Spain this month.
Ahhhh Yeah!!!! shoot it's on like Donkey Kong ... Kickinit !!! Just did not People to get feelings on me so I had show Zilla's softer side .... Game on!

No hurt feelings here Kong. Keep it coming!

Mills might if she cleans up her game. I'm not an Andrews believer. I think their freshman DeMelo is their best shot. Although if they play kickball for 4 more years she won't get to show her ability.

You are spot on about them dominating the draft. A natty will do that which is why that golden carrot is so enticing. It really explains why so few are committed to playing a style of play that will work long term on the international stage. Let's see what happens next. The last coach before the current one won their first natty and it was all downhill from there. Let's see what he does with his recruits.
