2004 Boys, games of the week, standings, etc.

here's predicts for today (3/30). home team is listed first. had to add in some data - since most matches this weekend are norcal v socal (go socal!) - which took a bit. Predicts for tomorrow to follow late this afternoon.

Saturday, March 30
Albion 1 vs De Anza 2

Real SoCal 2 vs Portland Timbers 2

SD Surf 5 vs. Breakers 1

Arsenal 1 vs. LAUFA 3

LAG 1 vs. Seattle Sounders 3 *match to watch* Last time these teams played was in the GA cup. Went to PKs with Seattle winning. Assuming both teams play their 1st team roster, should be a great match to watch. Seattle is ranked #4 in the country by TopDrawer. LAG is not ranked in the top 25.

Sacramento Republic 2 vs FC Golden State 1 *match to watch* Last time these teams played it was 4-2 FCG. Sacramento is ranked #17 by Top Drawer while FCG is ranked #23. Not a lot of FCG "away" game data to work with, but it looks like FCG having to travel to Sactown tips the result in Sacramento's favor.

Barca 1 vs . LAFC 5

San Jose Earthquakes 2 vs. Pats 2

Nomads 3 vs. Ballistic 1

Strikers 4 vs Silicon Valley Soccer Academy 1


BARCA 1 LAFC 7
 
LAG 1 vs Sounders 2

LAG had more possession and the better chances. Couldn’t finish. Sounders capitalized on a couple of mistakes. The boys wanted a do-over. Maybe next year.

Nomads 3 SVSA 1
 
here's predicts for the weekend (4/5 & 4/6). home team is listed first.

SD Surf 1 vs LAFC 1. *match to watch* this match is listed as TBD on the schedule. hopefully, it will happen. should be fun to watch. biggest trend of note is that LAFC offense has been on the steady decline (relatively speaking), hence the projected tie. last match was 4-1 LAFC. somehow, top drawer doesn't have SD Surf ranked anywhere in their top 25.

Pats 2 vs Nomads 2

Real SoCal 2 vs Albion 1

Arsenal 1 vs. Strikers 1

SD Surf 4 vs Albion 1









 
here's predicts vs actuals for 4/5 & 4/6. home team is listed first.

predict: SD Surf 1 vs LAFC 1. actuals: SD Surf 1 vs LAFC 4. note: same result as last match. surprised by this result. Any commentary from folks?

predict: Pats 2 vs Nomads 2. actuals: Pats 2 vs Nomads 2. Looks like a fun one to watch. Pats went up 2-0 in the first half, and then Nomads got one back just before the half and tied it early in the second half.

predict: Real SoCal 2 vs Albion 1. actuals: Real SoCal 2 vs Albion 0

predict: Arsenal 1 vs. Strikers 1. actuals: Arsenal 0 vs. Strikers 3. per the game report, looks like Strikers came out strong, got one in the first half and then two in the last five.
 
here's predicts for this weekend (4/13 & 4/14). home team is listed first.

Barca 3 vs Silicon Valley SA 2

Nomads 1 vs FC Golden State 1 *match to watch* note: both teams have a big home/away effect. while the algo is calling this a tie, would say that Nomads have the edge with FCG playing away. Should be fun, tough defensive game to watch.

Albion 3 vs SD Surf 2

LAGSD 1 vs Real SoCal 2

Barca 4 vs. Arsenal 2

Strikers 5 vs Pateadores 1

predict: Nomads 1 vs FC Golden State 1. Actuals: Nomads 1 vs FC Golden State 1. had this one as a match to watch, and per the game report, it looked like it did not disappoint. FCG got one at the 3rd minute and Nomads came right back with one to tie at the 5th minute. Tied 1-1 at half time. Nomads went ahead 2-1 at the 62nd minute, and things started to get chippy at the 70th minute with two yellows (one for each team). FCG went ahead with two quick ones at the 72nd and 74th minutes. One more yellow for FCG at the 75th minute, and then Nomads tied it right at the end for a 3-3 final result.

predict: Albion 3 vs SD Surf 2. Actuals: Albion 3 vs SD Surf 1

predict: LAGSD 1 vs Real SoCal 2. Actuals: LAGSD 3 vs Real SoCal 8. note: Whoa! Per the game report, looks like it was a very competitive first half. LAGSD scored first, but RSC got two quick ones to go ahead 2-1. LAGSD tied it up 2-2 right after. All in the first 15 minutes... LAGSD got a PK to go ahead 3-2 at the 24th minute but RSC tied it right before half for 3-3.

2nd half was a completely different story with RSC scoring five unanswered goals. Only thing that's apparent from the game report is that LAGSD subbed two players out at the beginning of the 2nd half.... Anyone have more commentary on this one?

predict: Barca 4 vs. Arsenal 2. Actuals: pending

predict: Strikers 5 vs Pateadores 1. Actuals: Strikers 3 vs Pateadores 1

LA Galaxy 1 vs Strikers 1 *match to watch*

The Strikers have been the better team in 2018-19, sitting at 2nd in the standings for a strong Southwest Group, and just south of a wild card play-off spot. A reasonable case can be made that, if VV - who is now averaging just over a goal a game for LAG - had stayed with the Strikers, the Strikers likely go to the u15 play-offs.

By way of background, LAG recruited one of the Strikers top goal scorers - VV - last year over to LAG for the 2018-19 season. Likely, as a result of moving to LAG, VV was called up to the Jan u15 28 player camp, but did not make it to the 19 player u15 squad that just finished 3rd in their group at the Torneo delle Nazioni.


LAG is at #5 in the standings, and if not for VV's goals, would be at closer to #8.

Last time these two teams met, it was 2-0 Strikers. Will be an interesting match to watch this time out.

Nomads 3 vs SD Surf 3 *match to watch*

Nomads have improved significantly on the goal scoring side in the last several games but the improvement has been against some of the weaker Southwest teams and against Northwest teams, and has been, as sometimes happens with goal scoring improvements, at the cost of giving up more goals. SD Surf also has been getting stronger offensively.

Should be a fun, end of season match to watch. Last time these two teams met, it was 1-0 Nomads.

Albion 1 vs LAFC 3

LAUFA 3 vs Barca 2

Pats 1 vs FC Golden State 3

Real SoCal 2 vs Arsenal 1

LAG 2 vs. Strikers 1.

Really tough, competitive game. Strikers were really good in stretches, could’ve scored a couple more. Galaxy hit woodwork twice. A draw would’ve been a fair result.
