Interesting note on the TFA-LAFC game: WD did not coach TFA this game as the game report correctly noted. The UCLA Men's Head Coach (currently on leave due to some off the field issues in the mainstream news) coached TFA for this game. I think he also coached the TFA 05's.

Does this mean there are spots available on TFA for those that can afford a little money under the table...?
 
TFA-LAFC
it's my personal opinion that TFA's game is a bit one-dimensional: fast breaks or long/through balls to their star offensive player. Absent this dimension, the score of this match isn't surprising to me. LAFC seems to work the ball around the midfield quite well, and has several offensive players and midfielders who can put it in the net.

TFA-LAFC
It's just an observation but TFA only two loses seems to be when TFA's WD is not in attendance. The importance of his presence at games is something that shouldn't be overstated. As for being one-dimensional you can't clearly make that statement off of one game , that's too small of a sample size. This has been the team we all have been trying to beat for the last 3 years since WD has had this team. Every team makes adjustments and 99% of the team can't really compete against them so in my personal opinion TFA is still the best but LAFC seems to be the only team that can compete against them. April match should be really interesting to see and it will be the game to watch.

Not to harp on the Galaxy 07 playing up or Galaxy team not doing good, but genuinely curious on what the 06 players who are no longer playing do? Do they just go to practice and miss game day? Do they go down to one of their F1 teams? Can they earn back a roster spot?

Not sure why you assume a sample size of one. However, given a sample size of one and no informative priors, the best estimate is that sample. Anyway, I've seen eight of their games this season, and it's my unprofessional opinion that they're pretty one dimensional. That's not to slam them, because obviously they've been effective. Perhaps they haven't needed to exercise any other dimensions in the eight games that I've seen. Who knows. It's just my opinion, and I'm not surprised by the loss to LAFC.

WD should not be around children.
 
here's predicts vs actuals for this weekend (3/23 & 3/24). home team is listed first. there were several results that should have been anticipated but were not. am going to take a look at the algo for next week and hopefully things tightened back up.

Los Angeles
Predict: LA Premier 4 vs LA Galaxy 3. Actuals LA Premier 4 vs LA Galaxy 1

Predict: LAUFA 1 vs Real SoCal 1. LAUFA forfeited at halftime due to lack of trainer

Predict: TFA 6 vs Santa Barbara SC 1. Actuals: TFA 12 vs Santa Barbara SC 0. Did not see this one coming. Per the game report, two goals in the first five minutes. 6-0 at half. 12-0 final. Ouch.

Predict: FCG 0 vs LAFC 4. Actuals: FCG 0 vs LAFC 3

San Diego
Predict: Albion 1 vs SDSC 2. Actuals: Albion 2 vs SDSC 8. Another one that came out of the blue. Looks like there may have been a match-up issue for Albion with two SDSC players - CL and ES - going for hat tricks.

SD Surf 4 - SDSC 1
 
here's predicts for this weekend (4/6/ & 4/7). home team is listed first.

Los Angeles
FCG 2 vs Real SoCal 1

Pats 3 vs TFA 2 * match to watch *. Lots of storylines here. TFA was #1 in topdrawer's u13 march rankings but that will likely change after losing to LAFC 5-0. Two significant coach-related incidents have affected TFA but it's hard to see how much. on the flip side, the Pats are very good but not quite excellent, as evidenced by the recent 2-6 loss to LAFC. TFA and the Pats have split results, with each winning away, and the Pats ahead in the aggregate 5-4. Given that Pats are playing at home, and some trends are going in the wrong direction for TFA, am calling this one for the Pats 3-2. Should be a good, emotional match.

LAUFA 2 vs LAG 1
LA Premier 0 vs LAFC 6. note: could be a good match to have some 07 LAFC'ers playing up.
Santa Barbara SC 3 vs Legends 2


San Diego
Albion 1 vs SDSC 3
Murrieta Surf 2 vs LAGSD 2
Nomads 1 vs OC Surf 3
Chula Vista 0 vs SD Surf 5 note: could be a good match to have some 07 SD Surf players playing up.
Arsenal 1 vs Strikers 4
Murrieta Surf 2 vs SDSC 2
Strikers 6 vs Nomads 1 note: could be a good match to have some 07 Strikers playing up.
SD Surf 4 vs Albion 0

Pats are missing one of their top center defenders in the last two games and in the upcoming game. That makes a big difference.
