here's predicts vs actuals for this last weekend (11/9). home team is listed first.
Los Angeles
predict: LAUFA 2 - Ventura Fusion 2 - (edge to Ventura) - actuals: LAUFA 1 - Ventura Fusion 3
note: Ventura got a goal in the first minute on a lapse by LAUFA but it was tight after that for 1-0 at half. After half it loosened up a bit with goals by both teams around the 45th minute for 2-1 Ventura, and LAUFA allowed an own goal at the 65th minute for 3-1 final result
predict: LA Surf 1 - LAFC 6 (TDS #8 in country) - rescheduled
predict: Legends 1 - LA Galaxy 3 (TDS #24) actuals: pending - does anyone have the score here?
predict: Santa Barbara SC 1 - Real SoCal 3 actuals: Santa Barbara SC 0 - Real SoCal 1
note: per game report, looks like a tight match with RSC getting the game winner at the 77th minute. Santa Barbara had a yellow in the 2nd minute to start the game. other notes are that, per DMs, Santa Barbara has at least three players out with injury. interesting result and the algo expected RSC to do better, something a lot closer to the 3-1 result the last time these teams played. any other commentary here?
predict: TFA 6 (TDS #1) - Pateadores 1 actuals: TFA 5 - Pateadores 0 (thx advantage for the score!)
San Diego
predict: Albion 1 - SC del Sol 1 - (edge to Albion) actuals: Albion 0 - SC del Sol 0
predict: Albion 0 - Real Salt Lake 3 actuals: Albion 2 - Real Salt Lake 3
note: per game report, looks like fun match to watch. Albion had an early breakdown and allowed RSL two quick ones in the first five minutes, but Albion's CD got one back right before half for 2-1 RSL at ht. in the 2nd half, CD put another one in at the 69th minute to tie it 2-2 but RSL had the last word w/ a 79th minute goal for the 3-2 win.
predict: LAGSD 5 - Arsenal 3 actuals: LAGSD 3 - Arsenal 0
note: per game report, Arsenal had a yellow at the 2nd minute and it seems like it was downhill from there. LAGSD's AMontesinos put one in at the 30th minute and another at the 71st minute, and AMunoz finished it with one at 72nd minute for the 3-0 result. The algo had this as a much more wide open match, any commentary/insight here?
predict: Nomads 1 - SDSC 2 actuals: Nomads 0 - SDSC 3
note: SDSC took control early with GE getting a goal in the 2nd minute, and then another right before half. SDCS closed the books w/ a last goal at the 73rd minute for the 3-0 final result
predict: OC Surf 0 - Murrieta Surf 2 actuals: OC Surf 0 - Murrieta Surf 3
note: per game report, looks like Murrieta had the match well in hand most of the way with RE getting an early goal at the 3rd minute and BH making it 2-0 before half. Murrieta lost a player to a red at the 55th minute but RE still managed one more goal at the 62nd minute for the final 3-0 result.
predict: San Diego Surf 1 - Strikers 1 - (edge to SD Surf) actuals: San Diego Surf 1 - Strikers 2
note: note to self, create unique thread for the next SD Surf vs Strikers matches... sounds like u13 match was solid soccer and looks like the u14 match was no different.
per the game report, it was a stalemate in the first half w/ 0-0 scoreline at ht. In the 2nd half, SD Surf scored first, VP getting on the board at the 44th minute to make it 1-0. Striker kept at it though and tier it up 1-1at the 57th minute w/ a goal from AR. Back and forth after that point, but Strikers pulled it out w/ DZ putting another one in the back of the net at the 75th minute. only other note is that SD Surf was missing their second leading scorer. any other commentary/insight here?
