Blues Cup 2016 -

Beyond about u12 or 13 many events lose prestige.

With regard to who's not worthy let's let the games play out ,.. That ought to prove my point.

I already mentioned Surf and Carlsbad as being worthy of which neither were accepted.

I don't know who else applied and was denied.

I don't know SB. If teams aren't worthy then it sounds like Blues Cup might be a good place for them to potentially prove their worth by either playing to a draw or a win where a loss is almost certain. In the mean time, both my kids are gonna make some good money reffing at Blues Cup.

Why does it matter so much to get the names of the teams? It doesn't matter to me who is worthy and who is not worthy. Every team will have three games to prove their worth next weekend.

Could Blues Cup have accepted other teams that appear better on paper? It sounds like the answer is "yes".

I am sure that the teams that are coming from out of state are very excited to be in So Cal for Labor Day weekend and I am interested in watching teams that I don't see on a regular basis play.

@Sombitch I think it used to be a very good one actually.
I agree with Som not having Surf2 a bit of a head scratcher.
On a different note are you tournament director for La Jolla Impact now? Why is Surf Cup sports managing that and having their teams sign up for that tourney? That's markedly lower than Blues Cup.

Good to know. It wa assumed because you are asking for teams for La Jolla Labor Day Classic on these boards and Surf is mandating participation in that tourney so I thought Surf Cup Sports was handling it now because you do so much for the main Surf Cup Sports.

Got it.

As far as mandating,... That is false. There are only three surf teams playing. Far from a mandate

If your prediction are correct for the Semis, it will be a very physical game like it was in Surf Cup. Definitely was not a boring game and it was a great battle between the two of them.

Nobody picking Scottsdale Blackhawks 03 in group E, but "Got Soccer" has them ranked #1 in the nation, region 4 and CAS. Are they that good?

I don't think we should take any rankings on the Got Soccer website too seriously. With the age change here in Cal South along with GS's usual weird rankings, I think the rankings are all over the board.

As for the Scottsdale team, we will see this weekend. I wonder if the two ECNL clubs in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area drain the talent from the Scottsdale organization. If the answer is yes, it may be hard for Scottsdale to stay on top as the #1 team in the nation, Region 4 and CAS.

I think the Scottsdale Blackhawks question was answered.
 
quarterfinals matches are set

Blues - Bobak v CZ Elite - Cheif

Real SoCal ECNL v LVPSA -Red

Beach - Demelo v OC Strkers EGSL

Blues - Holley v Legends Academy

Any predictions???

BTW - hey Generik my DD had her orange & black gear. Her Caltrans gear LOL
 
Congratulations to Beach FC - definitely the better team today and well-deserving of the championship!

Our girls gave it all they had today against two (2) great opponents...pulled out a gutsy win against RSC - but didn't have any magic left to get a win in the finals.

Good luck to everyone in league-play next weekend...and looking forward to some rematches against so many great teams in the various leagues/gaming-circuits come winter tournament season.
 
Ditto to Generik's comments about Beach FC - Demelo. They were the best team this weekend. It was tough losing in the semis but it was fun watching these 2 teams battle and play beautiful soccer.

Couldn't help to swivel my head and see the other semis behind our game as the parents cheered their respective teams.

Generik, hope your DD is okay.

Now off to league play

Congrats Beach! Always a treat when an underdog wins! Great soccer this weekend and deserved the tourney win! Great job!

Thanks KP - it was only a headache due to head-balls and head-bumps during the game...the coach just asked that she get checked out by the medical staff since she was for any concussion-like symptoms since she was complaining of a headache and she passed just fine.

She was cleared to play in the finals and seems to have no headache symptoms left...just exhausted from the weekend!

Great seeing you guys again out on the field...and yes, my head was on that same swivel trying to keep up with both action-packed semi-final games.

How many guest players did the blues have for this tourney?

None for this one....but we needed a few for sure - our games yesterday were "ugly" with no fresh legs left on any of our girls.

Wish we could have given both Beach and RSC better games (with better soccer play on the field), but the team just didn't have any gas left in their tanks with only one sub to use all weekend long.

Even with a few more subs and a few fresher legs...not sure we are able to pull out a win against the Beach squad - very talented team at every position with no weaknesses (that I can tell) in their game.
