here's predicts vs. actuals for this weekend (1/26 & 1/27). home team is listed first. Most games went close to as expected with the big upset being FCG beating LAG 4-1. Does anyone have more color/comments/opinions about any of this weekend’s games?

Los Angeles:
Predict: FC Golden State 2 vs LA Galaxy 3. Actuals: FC Golden State 4 vs LA Galaxy 1
Per the game report, FCG got one early from their leading scorer and it looked like LAG just didn’t have solution for this player since he went for three goals for the day. Some days it's about the match-ups. Does anybody have more color/comments/opinions on this match?

LAG had about 4 2007's playing up which made up the midfield and unfortunately physically they couldn't hold up against some larger more physical 2006's. There was a lot of mistakes but I give kudos to LAG for playing them up and not caring about the outcome.

Agreed. Many kudos to LAG for playing kids up. With some MLS teams complaining about the quality of local competition and threatening to leave DA, the MLS clubs can all easily create more competitive local matches by playing their kids up.

Good case of LAG putting development first.

LA
FC Golden State 1 v. Pateadores 2 (match to watch - Pats are ranked #17 nationally by TopDrawer Dec '18)
LAFC 6 v. Santa Barbara SC 1 (LAFC is ranked #3 nationally by TopDrawer)
LA Premier 3 v. LAUFA 1
Real SoCal 0 v. TFA 6 (TFA is ranked #2 nationally by TopDrawer)

SDSC 2 v. Murrieta 2
 
here's predicts v actuals for this last weekend. Sounds like a wet weekend everywhere made for interesting games w/ some uncharacteristic play.

LA
Predict: FC Golden State 1 v. Pateadores 2. Actuals: FC Golden State 1 v. Pateadores 1. Per the game report, looks like FCG brought the intensity, with five cards and one red card at the 47th minute. But, FCG had a late goal to tie it up against #17 ranked Pats.

Predict: Real SoCal 0 v. TFA 6. Actuals: Real SoCal 1 v. TFA 7. different day, same result as last time. per the game report, after Real SoCal held strong defensively in the first half (an improvement from last match-up vs TFA), TFA decided enough was enough with one player scoring five goals and another player scoring two. Six of the seven goals were scored in the 2nd half.

LAFC v. Santa Barbara SC was postponed
LA Premier v. LAUFA was postponed

SD
Predict: Albion 1 v. OC Surf 1. Actuals: Albion 0 v. OC Surf 4. Per the game report, with Albion missing eight 2006 players, it was t0ugh day.

Predict: Arsenal 1 v. SD Surf 4. Actuals: Arsenal 0 v. SD Surf 2. SD Surf was playing four players up in the u14 match, and didn't have the same quality as their last match-up vs Arsenal but still, a well-balanced win.

Predict: LAGSD 4 v. Nomads 1. Actuals: LAGSD 3 v. Nomads 1. Some improvement from last time on the part of the Nomads.

Predict: SDSC 2 v. Murrieta 2. Actuals: SDSC 1 v. Murrieta 3. Per the game report, despite missing three mids, Murrieta pulled out a solid win. A little surprised SDSC did not show stronger. May have been match-ups.

TFA 7 -1 over LAG and from what im hearing from a couple TFA and LAG parents is that it could of been more . For an MLS academy to lose that big again its a joke .
 
Let me add some insight and I would've agreed with you soccerjunkie at the beginning of the season. LAG played two 2007's up again and this coach does not allow them to play "long balls". This team is forced to play possession soccer even when pressured out of the back, the keeper does not punt the ball he plays to feet. So when you are playing a team like TFA or LAFC that high press it leads to goals because of simple mistakes.

TFA plays well but direct soccer, clearances by center backs , goalie punts almost every time, etc. So yes it looks bad but the LAG kids will benefit in the long run. It's easy to play long to the forward not so easy to play out the back under pressure to the mids to the forwards, etc. No one is winning championships at u13.

U14 Galaxy plays long ball
Is not only TFA and LAFC who are beating on this team.....
Most DAs play 1 or 2 players up so thats not a surprise...
 
The switch into 11v11 is jarring if you're a club that takes the long view on player dev and tactics. The simple fact is that the kids who are physically mature at u13 just get around the pitch better, and that leaves you one of two choices: 1) go with it, use players who can create time and space by merit of speed and strength, and employ tactics that expand spaces not necessarily to play into but to outrun people into; or 2) stick to your guns, force the kids to play out of pressure against extreme pressure even when you're overmatched physically, and give more time to kids you think will be good adult players even if they're behind physically right now.

Bottom line is that kids relying on speed and strength will find that they're not as good as they look right now. That's a long process, but it always ends in the same place.

I agree that other teams are beating this team. U13 coach has different philosophy for this age group.
 
@3leches your insight might be clouded by the BS that LAG is feeding parents of an age group that is probably one of the worst in their academy. Your comment about them having 07s only goes to show that this team is bad. I believe the first time these two teams played the score was 6-1 and now after several weeks, several games and with enough time for Cien to prepare and make the necessary adjustments .......hmmmmmm..... well you go and lose 7-1 this time around. Don't give us that TFA and LAFC high press ... that's just an excuse for the real reason why LAG is struggling .... its plain and simple they don't have talent . Thats why you now are seeing LAG coaches scouting Market training, State Cup, Tournaments etc. and just wait until the season is over when they cut half the team... where is your theory that in the long run LAG players will benefit for playing this style of soccer then? The answer is that these players won't be around because they would have brought in 10 new ones in attempting to close the gap between TFA and them. Wouldn't surprise me if they try and bring over TFA coach and the team to swing the balance of power between LAG and LAFC. They have done this in the past so why not go to that well again.....
 
If they are playing kids up it could be one of 2 things
They want to develop players
Or what they currently have is not working out for the them..
Fact is They have lost 5 of their last 6 games
Coach plays possession soccer and did last season
But this wasn’t happening at all with the 05s last year!

Here's some data points.

LAG 06 was improving since the beginning of the season on both sides of the ball up but peaked with their first match against LAUFA in late October, right before the showcase.

After that, LAG 06 got worse on both sides of the ball, and, for example, a good benchmark is that they beat FCG 3-0 before the showcase, but the score was 1-4 when the two teams played again after the showcase. (FCG has been improving at a steady pace this season but, despite FCG's improvement, the score should have been closer than 1-4 )

There's 2-3 06 players also that look like they stopped playing for LAG after the LAUFA match/showcase. LAG has been playing 07s up - usually 2-5 07 players per game - and it looks that practice mostly started after the LAUFA match/showcase as well.

On the LAG 05s last year to this year, LAG replaced 9-10 '05 players from 2017-18 with new recruits from other academies for the 05 u14 2018-19 season.
